The initial Orchard-distributed labels participating in the program include SST, Delicious Vinyl, Lookout! Records, In the Red, Amphetamine Reptile, and Bizarre/Straight. The newly mastered vinyl releases will begin appearing in March in digital music stores worldwide, including eMusic, iTunes, Napster, Real/Rhapsody, MSN, Yahoo!/Musicmatch and over 70 others under the moniker "When It Was Wax." The service is free to Orchard labels."

The bad news: doesn't look like remixing and remastering off the master tapes is going to happen.

So the drums will still sound shitty on those early SST albums (polishing a turd to thread, obv.)

The Orchard has been quiety digitizing lots and lots of stuff previous to this. I've downloaded quite a bit of it and been satisfied. And I don't know where the yahoos who wrote that piece are from but the meat of SST went up on eMusic about a month or so ago.

I need to try eMusic again, been a while. They seem to be the only ones who make the model work properly.

Hey, that's where I got the Slapshot EP I was ranting about over on Rolling Metal. Choke, now there's a great singer. In fact, everything you'd ever want by Choke is there.

Acute Records is going to be doing the same thing, but on a much, much, much, much smaller scale.

eMusic has been getting better and better as far as titles available go.

Actually, wait a minute:

The initial Orchard-distributed labels participating in the program include...Bizarre/Straight.

Interesting -- does that mean all that OOP stuff like the early Alice Cooper albums and the late Tim Buckley releases?
