As with his idol, Hendrix, the question of where Stevie Ray Vaughan might have gone musically had he survived remains a mystery, yet sonically all questions have now been answered: Texas Hurricane is the Stevie Ray set to own and enjoy.?Robert Baird Stereophile July 2014 Sound 5/5 Music 5/5

"His overdriven Stratocaster sound is one that guitar aficionados never tire of hearing live or on record, especially when it's well recorded. ... Yet again, Chad Kassem sets high the box set reissue bar delivering a "must have" package for SRV fans, every bit the equal of the one Doors fans have come to cherish. ...every one of these records betters the originals and by a considerable margin. It is not even close...You've never heard these albums sound like this. That is a 100 % guarantee. ...this is an impeccably produced box set physically and especially sonically. It's the best these albums have ever and probably will ever sound." ? Music = 9/11; Sound = 10/11 ? Michael Fremer, AnalogPlanet:

"This is visceral, hair-raising stuff." ? Andy Aledort, senior editor of Guitar World and author of the liner notes for Analogue Productions' Stevie Ray Vaughan Box Set We?ve gone completely all-out for this project. We?ve used the original 30 inches-per-second, half-inch analog master tapes for all of these studio albums

 Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound cut the lacquers for the LPs using the ultimate VMS 80 cutting lathe. Gary Salstrom handled the plating and the vinyl was pressed of course at Quality Record Pressings. Andy Aledort, senior editor for Guitar World, wrote the liners with contributions from Stevie Ray Vaughan biographer Craig Hopkins.

This set includes a deluxe booklet. We?re using direct-to-board LP jackets ? the finest on the market. And all of the records are housed in a deluxe box. We?ve also used the correct original master for Soul To Soul.

Every version of this record since 1999 has been from an incorrect source with the wrong take of the track ?Life Without You.? We?ve got it just as the original. And unlike the other SRV  on the market, these are done from the original master tapes and will include extra.  tracks. There?s not a link in this chain that wasn?t absolute first-rate.

The absolute best . But beyond that we?ve poured our passion into this project. 

Stevie Ray Vaughan. It?s a big dream come true to work on this project and to make these records sound and look the best they ever have.

Everything a vinyl reissue box set should be: sourced from the original analog master tapes?the one digital production transferred to tape to give it some "analog-ness"?, each record in a gatefold "Tip On" jacket, plus a well-annotated booklet. All in a handsome, sturdy box. Oh and by far the best sounding these records have ever been or will ever be, in either 33 1/3 or 45rpm versions.

Winner of a Gruvy Award, chosen by AnalogPlanet's editor, Michael Fremer, for vinyl records that are musically and sonically outstanding and are also well mastered and pressed.

This is classic Stevie Ray Vaughan, meticulously remastered from the analog tapes by New York's Sterling Sound. In each set you'll receive Texas Flood, Couldn't Stand the Weather, Soul to Soul, In Step, plus the posthumous classics Family Style and The Sky Is Crying. Those of you familiar with our previous LP box sets ? Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk, Creedence Clearwater Revival ? and soon to come, The Doors ? know how deluxe these sets are. From the detailed liner notes to the rarest photographs, these sets will truly be gems. The truly luxurious ? and ultimate ? listening experience can be had on 45 RPM LP. With so few songs on each side and at 45 RPM, your cartridge will capture every last winsome note. The box set will be pressed on 200 gram vinyl at QRP, lauded for its vinyl manufacturing excellence.    Each LP set will come housed in deluxe gatefold jackets that include rarely published, intimate photos ? a look inside the career of a legend whose death at age 35 shocked the music world. A few statistics showcase Vaughan's success and musical influence: His debut album Texas Flood, reached No. 38 on the charts, crossing over to rock radio stations. The album's succesor, Couldn't Stand the Weather, released in May 1984, reached No. 31 on the charts; by the end of 1985 it went gold. Vaughan and his band, Double Trouble, recorded their third album, Soul to Soul, released in August 1985, and it reached No. 34 on the charts.
