When asked about how limited these reissues would be, Zev Feldman stated on Instagram: "extremely limited. The series is designed to be pressed conservatively low and ship sold out." 

I'm sure that Roy Brooks would be extremely heartened by this touching attempt to get his music out to as wide an audience as possible.

I hardly buy any new vinyl. Mostly used vinyl.

I stopped buying new expensive vinyl a few years ago. I just can't hear the benefit to them any more. It's gotten to the point where if I have it on CD, and I have a lot of CDs, I usually skip the vinyl version.

And to be honest, I've had a lot of problems with these newer LPs. Warps, underfill, cuts too hot for my setup, warbling piano, etc.

The lack of quality control in modern pressings is, indeed, quite frustrating. When done right, records can be pressed exceptionally well these days...arguably, better than ever...which makes it all the more frustrating when corners are cut and they have the issues that you mentioned.

The apparent "manufactured scarcity" of this series is certainly off-putting. I wish that they had gone the route of the new Stata-East reissue series, with high quality vinyl reissues and CD reissues released at the same time, and not hyped it up as being a "limited edition...buy now or cry later!" situation.
