I'm not and I'm glad you told me- we should compare notes offline. I recently got the chance to interview Olav- he was very gracious.Bill you may not be familiar with my company. I started out as a reissue label specializing in progressive rock and psychedelic music and I'm still in the game. One of my favorite albums to work on was Spring, originally released on RCA's "Neon" label. The Neon label was RCA's answer to Vertigo and Harvest. The label was run by Olav Wyper. Originally my goal was to reissue most of the Neon titles and I focused on Spring and Indian Summer. Olav put me in touch with Jim Simpson who was the ex-manager of Indian Summer and also was Black Sabbath's first manager. Lots of juicy stories there. Olav also was helpful tracking down the owners of Spring.
Ultimately I was able to license Spring and reissued it from the original master tapes with Bob Katz handling the mastering. I know from your posts and your blog that you are an earnest Vertigo collector and I suspect you have Neon in your collection as well. Holding original masters of some of these albums was a chilling experience.
I have one pink Island ITCOTCK. A bit noisy, not amazing but not bad either. The pink Island Emerson Lake & Palmer pressings are stunning - reference caliber.
A few years ago I began to sell off many of my mega-rare vinyl titles including a lot of Vertigo. Prices have spiraled so high that they became museum pieces. I was afraid to play them or even take them off the shelf. Sold a copy of Raw Material "Time Is" for $1600. Mark Fry "Dreaming With Alice" for over $4,000. And on and on. The money I made helped pay for my TW Acustic AC Anniversary. Still plenty of great prog sitting on my shelves.
