Mundell LoweMundell Lowe, World Class Jazz Legend and member of the "Great Guitars" comments on his remastered LP
"Some years ago I recorded an album for RCA RECORDS.  A nice little album...went nowhere in terms of sales though.  I thought at the time, one of the problems was the recording (engineering), it was not very good.   My friend Eric Van der Wyk has remastered that record...what a difference!
This recording has never sounded as good!
I wish Eric had been there when it was first recorded!  Thank you Eric....GOOD JOB...."

Neil SeidelNeil Seidel, lead guitar player for "Shanti" comments on his rescued record.
"Eric took the Shanti Album recorded in 1971 and remastered it to CD, complete with artwork. This album was never made into a CD by Atlantic.  Eric's Record Rescuer's service was professional and the sound on the CD matched the original recording very well.  I was especially impressed with the scanning and reproduction of the cover, which was a complicated piece of art.
I have also used Eric to create and maintain my website. Over the years I have never been disappointed with his services, always more than you bargain for!"

comments on his remastered record.

"The CD sounds better than the vinyl. It still retains the warmth of the analog only it's cleaner. Eric Van der Wyk is the man to take the vinyl into the next millennium. It simply sounds divine."

Saul MollockSaul Mollock, singer/songwriter and bassist for "The Press" comments on his rescued record.
"I can't start to describe the delight I felt the first time I played the CD you recorded from the "Meet The Press" album I recorded many years ago. The funny thing is, the guitar player with the band sent me a CD version of the album about a week before I received the one you remastered. What a difference it was. The music, and graphics quality were far superior on your CD. I will now be able to enjoy the music, and the memories forever!!
 Great work Record Rescuers.  I'm sure I will be using your services again in the future!"

Jack Traylor
Jack Traylor comments on his Rescued Record; "Child of Nature", Grunt Records, 1974.
"It has long been out of print and, for the most part, out of mind.  When I first got the digital remake of the album, I was a little reluctant to open that door again but as soon as I heard the first tune, I was pleased and astounded by the clarity and quality of the reproduction.  In the studio, I was always amazed at how an engineer was able to make me greater than I was. I suspect the same is true of this reproduction."

Peter Kuhn comments on his Rescued Records; "Livin' Right"
Eric, thanks to you and King Tet Productions for the excellent work performed. The care and attention you put into your craft is manifestly apparent in the quality CDs you returned. You exceeded my expectations on the digital transfers of my old reel to reel tapes, vinyl LPs and archival cassette recordings. I glad we got the work done since those mediums only degenerate over time. It was also great visiting your studio since I live in San Diego. Hope I find more gems from the past to clean up and preserve!
