Thu, 07 Jul 2011 / Post a commentRon Trent's vinyl-first Prescription Classic Recordings goes digital in an exclusive series called "From the Vaults." halcyon chats with label manager Rob Mckay about the digital switch and the re-issuing of stone cold classics.
TAmongst the pivotal artists, labels and events that have shaped the long and storied history of House music, Prescription Classics Recordings ranks high on the list. Now, thanks to a recent initiative by Trent himself (who now solely runs the label), select gems from the long out-of-print Prescription Classics back catalog are available, for the first time, in digital format. Gems like Trent’s classic Altered States and the ’93 piece Be My Friend/I Wouldn’t were some of the first vinyl joints to take the digital plunge. In May 2011, the label’s digital branch launched a tempting series of volumes titled From the Vaults featuring a select handful of memorable classics such as Chez & Trent’s Don’t Try It and Alton Miller’s Sometimes I Feel Like, which was originally released under his moniker, Last Session.
