Numero Group

Doing God's Work re-releasing the late, great Charlie Megira's catalogue. Dig deep & grow rich 👌🏻Thnx Numero!

I've been collecting records for over 30 years. And like any other area of interest, vinyl snobs always want to s**t on someone/company who is going the extra mile to present something that we as collectors would otherwise not be able to enjoy. Sure, I, like many collectors, do prefer to go to spots and dig for the original recordings - not typically a repress guy. But Numero pressings have been one of the VERY few modern pressings of old tunes that I buy. The research and information they offer is great. I've not experienced any quality issues, but there is always a snafu here and there...that's the beauty of analog. Keep up the great work and ignore the record hipsters, of which there are a lot these days.

Vinyl is a fetish object for this label which means all of the money/effort goes into packaging, pressing color variants and they cheap out on mastering and quality for the records themselves.

unless its analogue i wont buy it but digital 45,s & digital lps only if i wanted digital tech i would buy a cd but a cd cost about 25p to make so plenty of profit.but digital vinyl with multiple overdubs to hide digital tech,s faults keep it peace..

Vinyl and tapes are made at the cheapest plants they can find. Total coin-flip as to whether you'll get a good one or not. CDs are mostly okay but often suffer from terrible brickwalled mastering or indexing/labeling mistakes. Just can't win with this label.

Seems they care more about aesthetics and marketing rather than delivering quality product to the consumer. If you get something defective from them, don't be surprised if they don't do anything either. A damn shame as so many great artists are moving their catalogs to this label as time goes on.

I buy CDs. I absolutely do not care for their Vinyl Quality.

Love Numero for the amount of effort they put into reissuing so much obscure stuff and shining light into them, not to mention cult classics from bands like Duster and Unwound. There's also the care they also put into the packaging itself, which is more than welcome. HOWEVER, the main problem is that all said effort is almost null when they don't hire a proper vinyl mastering engineer from the likes of Kevin Gray, RKS, Bernie Grundman, Chris Bellman, J Powell... I mean at this point I'd be happy with anyone BUT letting GZ Media or Nashville Record Productions make lacquer cuts for them (though I've seen some Unwound reissues being cut by Golden, which is great). Yeah yeah I'm sure they still sound decent, but they could sound SO much better to the point they'd trump most OG pressings. Come on Numero.

People have to realize that a lot of these reissues are sometimes coming from extremely uncared for source materials. That’s what make’s these releases so cool. If you’re starting from 1/2” Master Tapes found in the basement of a building for 35yrs, don’t expect Mofi versions.

Think Numero have cleaned up their pressings at this point, which is great!

It Ain't Fair by Ahead of Our Time, was this released before Tomorrow's People's version?
