Hobson Meets Kassem - The Story of Classic Records

Join Classic Records founder Michael Hobson and Acoustic Sounds CEO Chad Kassem as they tell the story of Classic Records beginnings, the birth of Clarity Vinyl, the formation of Quality Record Pressings, the state of vinyl in the modern age and much more.

Michael Hobson founded Classic Records in 1994 and until its sale to Acoustic Sounds in 2010, Classic reissued hundreds of rare and collectible recordings as high-quality vinyl pressings.

The Classic Records Archive contains reference copies — two sealed editions each — of Classic Records’ various releases (180-gram, 200-gram, RCA ‘Living Stereo’ limited editions, Blue Note, Verve, etc…) They are the first edition production copies of nearly each title Classic ever reissued. They have been warehoused through the years in climate controlled air-conditioned storage.

As Classic Record’s founder, Hobson was fanatical about pursuing the highest quality possible for mastering, plating, pressing and packaging of Classic Records reissues.

The Archive was one of the few things Acoustic Sounds didn’t acquire as part of the deal to buy Classic in 2010. A deal to acquire the Archive was reached by Hobson and Kassem some nine years later.

We are making these one-of-a-kind collectible LPs available for sale now, giving our customers first crack at these mint condition, and in many cases, ultra-rare album titles.

Own a piece of history! The Classic Records Archive has been individually pieced out, 1 of each release, and is available now! https://store.acousticsounds.com/index.cfm?get=results&saleid=569
