On your site I read you did the mastering for Zappa's Strictly Commercial RCD 10735 (which catalognumber belongs to the Misfits). The catalognumber I know of are RCD 40500 and/or RCD 40600.
I guess if you did the mastering of the CD you did the mastering of vinyl too.
But in the run out groove of the RALP 40500 LP I own it says SAE Mastering which is an other company.
Would you be so kind to give me some information on who did what.

HI Harry,
Yes we mastered the CD, and "pre-mastered" the LP. We do not provide
any LP mastering services ourselves. We made an exact copy of the CD
master and sent it to SAE. As you may know, cutting an LP master on a
lathe is an art unto itself. We have always entrusted the LP
mastering engineers to make whatever compensations may be necessary
to produce optimum results through the complex cutting &
manufacturing process.
btw sorry about the typo on the Catalog #
I hope this answers your questions. Please let me know if I can be of
further assistance.
Sincerely,
Anne Shepard, Studio Manager
