"Kevin Gray’s fresh mastering has more of everything. Those Ovation guitars have more texture; Armatrading’s and the backup singers' vocals are more completely fleshed out; already impressive dynamics have an even greater impact; and every instrument is presented in a more tangible, three-dimensional space."

– Dennis Davis

"… this record has never sounded this well balanced … A reader asked if I’d assembled a “100 essential albums” list. I haven’t but when I do, this will be on it ..."

– Michael Fremer

"I feel that the new SACD’s DSD tracks bring me a step closer to what took place in the Masonic Lodge in January 1984. The realism and tonal accuracy of instruments, and the impressive sound of the recording space, are palpable in this new remastering."

– Joe Taylor

"If you are familiar with these albums, the Intervention Records pressings will be a revelation. If you don’t know them, then you are in for a treat."

– Roy Gregory

"It sounds absolutely fabulous: every detail of the layered production is sparklingly clear and exquisitely colorful. The vinyl is flat and as quiet as advertised, and the sleeve is heavy and glossy, which is also Intervention's way. If you haven’t heard this edition of Starfish, you haven’t heard Starfish."

– Mike Segretto

""Switching from the SACD to the new LP, I got a much stronger sensation of Jackson being in my listening room singing “The Verdict.” His voice was more holographic and immediate throughout the new LP than on the earlier pressing or the SACD.""

– Joe Taylor

"IT'S NEVER SOUNDED BETTER THAN THIS!" ... not only does this reissue sound better than the original and the two reissues, one by Sundazed and one a Mo-Fi CD from years ago ... I'm hearing things now I never heard before on the original ... a perfect pressing done at Gotta Groove Records in Cleveland, Ohio."

– Michael Fremer

"Praise for IR's Summer in the City LP: "I put on side 3 and was sitting in a club in New York, entranced as Jackson played and sang ... An essential purchase for Joe Jackson fans.""

– Joe Taylor

"... the SACDs definitely offer a clearer view into the music. You also get a better sense of the group harmonies, with a clearer sense of the other three members of the group’s vocal contributions ... To my ears, this is the best these albums have ever sounded, so if you are an early Frampton fan, these will really make you smile. "

– John Crossett

"... everything about this set defines how reissues should be produced ... Chris Bellman cut lacquers at Bernie Grundman Mastering and the lacquers were taken immediately over to RTI for plating. Gotta Groove in Cleveland pressed on 180g black vinyl. The pressings I received were 100% perfect in every way."

– Michael Fremer

"Why wait? Since Frampton@50 is a limited edition of 2,500 and likely to sell out sooner than later, I suggest you order your copy STAT, if you haven’t done so already. The wind of Frampton@50’s complete AAA-level brilliance could soon enough be upon your ears — and then, you too can truly feel like we do while you’re listening to it all."

– Mike Mettler

– Marc Mickelson

"Sparkle never sounded or looked so stunning; it’s housed in a sturdy, Stoughton-printed single pocket gatefold sleeve with the lyrics reprinted in the gatefold ..."

– Randy Fairman

"Kevin Gray’s remastering for Intervention Records’ reissue of Wonderland on vinyl fleshes out the music and gives it a larger, more impressive scale. On this LP, the music fills the room with such a deep, wide soundstage that it’s easy to envision a dance floor coming alive to its sounds."

– Joe Taylor

"... adds the sort of bandwidth, bottom-end weight, energy and attack, clarity of line and vocal purity that make you think you are listening to a Yello album ... one musically potent record."

– Roy Gregory

– Joe Taylor

– Randy Fairman

– Michael Fremer

– Pitchfork
