Vinyl only Releases & V Rips?

ALl the ones online like Score from Slyder are not that good compared to CD quality.

All my "pro" converts of various mint records I had done don't come close to their CD counterparts.

Do you simple need really expensive gear to get vinyl sounding great?

Why don't they re release a lot of these vinyl only tracks? Minimalistix have some crazy old trance that is locked up in vinyl's.

vinyl rips vary wildly in quality.

there will be people who say you need expensive equipment, but it is easily possible to do to a high standard on pretty standard equipment as long as you know what you are doing.

I don't know that specific label, but with most 90's labels generally either the rights are in limbo, the owner is no longer in the music business and/or doesn't care or the masters are lost. Or all of the above. Also re-releasing from 15-20 years ago on some obscure label is rarely worth the effort, if you put the re-release on Beatport you're probably going to sell like 10 copies. The few people who care probably already have the vinyl.

Actually, an increasingly large amount of back catalogues are becoming available online. If the labels are still active and they have the masters, they will often put stuff online in digital format.

Minimalistix was mostly known for this average remix of Cafe Del Mar, which itself had an awesome remix:

Titanium
Still waiting for some of the Eye Q Records to be released digitally. I guess it will never happen :(

Yup. I've managed to snag quite a few treats off bandcamp. Takes a bit of digging but there's a lot of labels and artists putting stuff up on there.

ASC recently put up a ton of Auxiliary stuff. I'm not sure what was up before, but he sent out an email a few weeks ago I think.

I asked Barry Jamieson about the Fluid stuff and he told me that he is planning to but them up on digital format later this year.
I doubt that will happen but i hope
