J.A.W. Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 And are they legit or is it a "grey market" label? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejp626 Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) Does anyone here know if reissues from ArkivMusic are CDRs? I believe all the hard to find reissues are CDRs (when it says it is a special order). I bought a few and they seem fine to me. They do stock in-print CDs as well, like the ones from Naxos, that wouldn't be worth creating as CDRs. I certainly think they are legit, but I didn't go look up their business license or anything. The website says ArkivMusic is a subsidiary of Steinway Musical Instruments, Inc. They are based in the US. So most likely all reissues are licensed properly, but I guess you never know nowadays.

MomsMobley Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Arkiv is 1000% legit-- you get printed CD-R full color xerox package inc. booklet/libretto-- not sure about slipcase on operas etc with such. Whether you wanna pay for that or search out an elusive-- perhaps 'collectible'-- original is up to you. They've done some never-on-cd stuff too but in any case, it's a stand-up, fully authorized operation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
