On Dec. 18, 1995, the trademark for Analogue Productions Revival Series was filed for and registered on April 22, 1997. The lacquer for each LP was cut by Stan Ricker using the state-of-the-art Wilson Audio Custom Tube Mastering System. With one of the world's finest plating and pressing facilities located in-house, the lacquer was processed within minutes of being cut, before degradation to delicate grooves could occur. Test pressings, generated immediately following the plating process, were meticulously inspected visually and auditioned carefully, before the stampers were approved for use in the limited production run of records.
In July 1996, Stereophile's Michael Fremer wrote, "Talk about having one's ducks in a row. Acoustic Sounds' Chad Kassem has David Wilson's Audio Research tube driven … Neumann SX 74 'Fitted' cutting lathe set up at RTI's … plating and pressing plant. So now veteran mastering engineer Stan Ricker can cut a lacquer, take it down the hall for plating, and have a test pressing in hand with Polaroid-like speed and convenience … There's something for every taste (in the Analogue Productions catalogue), and … (it) offers vinyl fans a chance to explore some great sounding out of the way stuff they wouldn't ordinarily hear … I recently received some test pressings of the first group of 'Revival Series' releases … You'll be in for a musical and sonic treat."
