Classical Jazz Children’s Oldies World Music

In 1993 we initiated our From the Vault series of great re-issues. Our goals for this series are twofold: first, to make available fine albums of the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s that were both genuinely beloved and acclaimed as milestones. Second, to demonstrate the extraordinary sound quality captured on the best Masters of the period, quality which even the finest pressings could only partially convey.

From The Vault:

What is our From the Vault series about?

I’m glad you asked! We’ve received so many letters from classical radio DJs and record buyers praising the sound of our From the Vault re-issues, we thought you might like to know how we do it.

Musically, our goal is simple: to reissue wonderful recordings, by great performers, that have been overlooked by their original label. Some, like Dance Music of the High Renaissance and Masterworks for the Harp, were one-time collaborations by several famous artists, or Premieres of recently-restored works by the likes of Praetorius and Handel. Many award-winning LPs, like those by Trio Sonata, appeared on labels that soon vanished. To sum it up, Hidden Treasures… That’s what we’re about!

Once repertoire is selected, we find the first-generation Master tapes – not a dub sent for U.S. release, not a dolby-ized safety, but the Original Masters, period! Then we spend 20-40 hours in state-of-the-art studios analyzing & optimizing their sound, tearing down audio ‘curtains’ between performers & listeners. Using Top-Shelf analog and digital processing, we can gently treat harsh room reverb that smears clarity among parts, traffic & building rumble, ‘puffy’ or nasal solo instruments that were miked too closely, that ‘hole-in-the-middle’ channel separation of early stereo records, and tape noise…

At every step we compare our new master with the original, on several monitor systems, and at home! If anything’s amiss, we start all over. A few weeks and several thousand dollars later, off we go to CD pressing. Most labels remaster by finding an analog tape and transferring it straight to digital. But we think all our extra effort and expense are worth it. And judging by your reactions, so do you. Sincere Thanks!

Boston Skyline Records Undergoing Exciting Remodel – A New Era of Music and Experience

We are thrilled to announce that Boston Skyline Records is currently undergoing a massive remodel, both online and offline, to elevate your experience with us to new heights! From enhanced digital services to state-of-the-art facilities, we’re creating an entirely new Boston Skyline experience.

What’s New at Boston Skyline Records?

As part of our transformation, we are excited to share some of the latest improvements to our physical location, all aimed at bringing even better music production, recording, and event experiences.

New Recording Studio: Our all-new, cutting-edge recording studio is equipped with the latest technology to ensure the highest quality sound production. Whether you’re an artist, producer, or engineer, you’ll find that this space offers everything you need to create your next hit.
Soundproof Room: We’ve designed a specialized soundproof room to give musicians the quiet and controlled environment they need to focus solely on their music. This new addition is perfect for artists looking to minimize outside noise and interference, allowing for crystal-clear recordings.
New Sound Booth: Our brand-new sound booth has been constructed with the finest acoustic materials to ensure the best vocal capture possible. Whether you’re laying down vocals or recording voiceovers, the precision of our sound booth will give you unmatched clarity.
Concert Hall: The crown jewel of our renovation is the new concert hall, designed to give both performers and audiences an intimate and high-quality live music experience. This hall will feature world-class acoustics, seating arrangements designed for comfort, and a state-of-the-art sound system. We can’t wait to host everything from local indie shows to grand performances by top artists.

Looking Back on Our Musical Journey

At Boston Skyline Records, we have a rich history of working with both emerging talent and established acts. Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of releasing a number of incredible records that have made their mark on the music world. Some of our recent notable releases include:

“Midnight in the City” by Boston indie rock sensation, The Skyline Five.
“Echoes of Yesterday”, a hauntingly beautiful album from alternative artist Lydia West.
The chart-topping jazz album “Smooth Rides” by the legendary James Delmont Quartet.

These records represent just a fraction of the incredible talent we’ve had the pleasure of working with. Our remodel is all about expanding our capabilities to bring even more groundbreaking music to the world.

What’s Coming Soon?

We’re also incredibly excited about the upcoming events and projects we have in store:

Debut Album by a rising hip-hop starset to release this fall.
A special live acoustic performance series featuring local talent, which will take place in our newly-renovated concert hall.
An exclusive vinyl reissue collection, celebrating 10 years of Boston Skyline Records, coming to stores and streaming platforms soon.

Their exceptional service and high-quality facilities helped keep everything running smoothly during our construction process.
