Grand Prix Dudisque - Paris
German Disc In English Made Sleeve.
Sleeve is under Archive Production name (English spelling), but disc has the original German spelling of the name: Archiv Produktion.
(It may be possible that English discs may be found in English sleeves, and German discs in German sleeves... or my copy may just be an anomaly).

| Magic Marmalade 8th Jun 2016 | It's very annoying... as the music sounds great on this, but just keeps getting that build up every few minutes. ...I wondered if there was like a blob of anti-stat goo I could dab on the label that would neutralise it, or perhaps draw it's fire. ...Basically it's a brain fart on Deutsche Grammophon's part... attempting to be too slick with their presentation of the disc, they interfered with the sound...Doh! I wonder how many of these Archiv discs have this earllier foil label? | |
| bobzyeruncle 8th Jun 2016 | You could try a Zero Stat gun. I live in an environment with year-round static. I've got a cork mat and even that does nearly nothing to control the problem. I may have to move. ;-) | |
| Magic Marmalade 3rd Jun 2016 | The other one is fine.... ...but this continues to frustrate, as I think the label/vinyl combo going round on the deck is causing static to affect sound quality every 4-5 minutes of play. Any suggested fix for this to reduce/pull the static away (can I plonk anything on the label to draw fire - so to speak)???? | |
| Magic Marmalade 26th May 2016 | Not gotten round to listening to my other Archiv yet, but did fish it out today... ... and with just a cursory glance, I can see that the label looks like it's got a more modern silver print on it, whereas this is actually a foil-like label. | |
| Magic Marmalade 22nd May 2016 | I do have that other Archiv which has slipped down my "to play" schedule... so I'll bump that up the queue and see if it suffers the same problem. | |
| Magic Marmalade 22nd May 2016 | Back cover and label scans added. Sorry for the delay, I had to do battle with Microsoft again... Periodically, they like to send a little treat through with the updates that switches on everything I've spent long hours switching off, and enhancing my security so that everything on my computer is completely un-accessible even to me! (It's nice to feel so cared for that you end up blocked from your own property by a massive and anonymous corporation -Aaaaargghh!!!!) | |
| gregs45s SUBS 22nd May 2016 | :) Ha Ha,yeah,not such a good idea then (perhaps it would be an opportunity to make use of that rubber suit in the wardrobe;).Alas MM i am far from an expert in electronics or vinyl composition,although your reasoning makes sense,so i can't help you there i'm afraid.An interesting issue though,i will keep an eye/ear out for it. | |
| Magic Marmalade 21st May 2016 | I would earth myself as you suggest Greg... but being as clumsy as I am, I'd probably end up getting myself wrapped around the spindle and going round like a wooden horse on a carousel! (Only then gaining a full appreciation just how long that particular piece of music is :( A couple of avenues of thought though - If I might prevail upon your expertise in electronics: Could it be that a different mix for the vinyl material has possibly made it more prone to static? ... or alternatively - and this only just occurs to me - the labels on these Archivs are a silver coloured metallic foil... is it possible that these are actually a problem here?l | |
| gregs45s SUBS 21st May 2016 | A while back,i worked in an Electronics company that assembled onto Printed Circuit Boards,and everybody had to make sure that they had an earth strap (attached to the wrist,and then to a rubber mat on their bench via a wire) before they were allowed to assemble,as,the human body can carry a static charge,which had to be dissipated .( I'm not suggesting you do the same tho MM,it could be a problem when the phone rings ;) | |
| Magic Marmalade 21st May 2016 | I did wonder about that, but couldn't detect any static when looking at it (and feeling it), but maybe there is... ...it's the first time I've had it actually affect the sound quality too. Good suggestions though, I'll have to get some anti-stat wipes or something and try it again. Also, on the whole these Archivs can be gotten quite cheaply, but there is a set in the series featuring Enrico Mainardi that is exceptionally rare and very, very valuable... ..keep 'em peeled! :) | |
| gregs45s SUBS 21st May 2016 | (ref your previous comment) .It sounds like static MM,there are quite a few "Anti-Static" products out there ,including turntable mats.inner sleeves,cleaners etc,perhaps one,or more may solve the problem?. | |
| Magic Marmalade 21st May 2016 | ReviewThis is proper Audiophile stuff! (as perhaps, the idea behind Deutsche Grammophon's: "Archive Production" series would suggest). ...And my initial impression of the quality of the vinyl and the pressing was entirely justified in the playing; In fact, this may be too good. I say this because in spite of having been very meticulous in cleaning this disc prior to playing; And my disc is in immaculate condition - even if the sleeve is a little grunge-y; every five minutes or so of playing would produce a little gathering of fine dust particle matter type stuff around the stylus, that usually wouldn't bother other records, or how they sound... but here, cause a light flutter in the upper end of the register...a bit of, um....fusty-ness (?), if you know what I mean. I played it through twice and it was the same both times, and once I'd cleared the dusty-fluff, it was great, but would soon pick up even more. I don't know exactly why this should be, as I found myself remonstrating with my player: "But there is no frickin' dust!!!!" ...I can only conclude that something about it is capturing ambient dust particles for some reason (I played other records to make sure it wasn't my stylus... and it's just this disc - very odd ), and this disc is very sensitive, and perhaps over-engineered in some way. It may be that you just need substantially better kit than mine, or just restrict yourself to playing it in a clean room with a team of lab technicians in white overalls to monitor it and keep it forensically clean while playing! But this aside, the recording is, of course impeccable, and the music is great meditative, very intricate stuff with some fantastic choral work, that I think would actually be a treat to have on in the background at Christmas, once you're a little fuzzy with the Egg-Nogg and fairy-lights, and have a nice little warm glow going (Maybe you wouldn't notice the high end dust flutter then... ... but then, you would have to stand up and flip the record over, and that would just seem like hard work :) 2 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review? | |
| Magic Marmalade 21st May 2016 | Been foraging in the ebay undergrowth, and I think this will eventually have to be split into two separate entries. As all the listings I've seen there with the "Full English": "Archive Production" on the sleeve, have the same English spelling on the disc labels too, and likewise the German spelling: "Archiv Produktion" sleeves have the same spelling on the disc labels on those copies. (Tantalisingly, and annoyingly, there is a copy of this specific title on ebay, with the sleeve picture leading, but no label scans given, or details that would shed light on this... whether mine is an anomaly, or this title was just generally available as a German disc in English sleeve). I'll get the rest of the scans up soon (scanner's having a wobbler today). | |
| Magic Marmalade 20th May 2016 | Fantastic piece of vinyl for this one... thick, heavy, and very sharp looking cut. (I shall give it a spin soon, to see what it sounds like) - stand by - | |
