STeVE sticking up for RVG? That’s rich. I seem to recall when Daddy still got work, him bitching about having to build some filter or “fix” some other way RVG’s stuff when Music Matters was still a thing. In fact, I’m pretty sure there were plenty of examples of him crappy on Rudy at the old site.

Steve Hoffman. All class. All the time. No wonder the movers and shakers in the Biz are beating a path to Chez Hoffman to offer him new employment.

I'm going with C: live in terror that Irving Azoff will discover (again) that the tapes are in your possession.

Let’s see what Wikipedia has to say about both Rudy Van Gelder and Steven “Vag-neck” Hoffman...
First up, Rudy Van Gelder:
Reputation
Within a few years of opening his studio, Van Gelder was in demand by many other independent labels based around New York City, such as Prestige Records. Bob Weinstock, owner of Prestige, recalled the following 1999: "Rudy was very much an asset. His rates were fair and he didn't waste time. When you arrived at his studio he was prepared. His equipment was always ahead of its time and he was a genius when it came to recording".[27] According to a JazzTimes article in August 2016, "jazz lore has formed the brands into a yin and yang of sorts: The Blue Note albums involved more original music, with rehearsal and the stringent, consistent oversight of Lion; Weinstock was more nonchalant, organizing what were essentially blowing sessions for some of the best musicians in jazz history".[28] Van Gelder said in 2012, "Alfred was rigid about how he wanted Blue Note records to sound. But Bob Weinstock of Prestige was more easygoing, so I'd experiment on his dates and use what I learned on the Blue Note sessions".[7] He also worked for Savoy Records in this period, among others. "To accommodate everyone, I assigned different days of the week to different labels".[7]
Next, Steve “Vag-neck” Hoffman:
The Picks' overdubs
In February 1984, Hoffman sent what are known as safety copies of several Buddy Holly master recordings to John Pickering of The Picks[2] who took them to Sound Masters studios in Houston, Texas. There, the reunited group overdubbed new vocal parts onto at least 60 recordings, and sent them back to Hoffman at MCA. The belief was that, under Hoffman's influence, MCA would have issued these "new" recordings as an album,[2] perhaps to commemorate the 25th year since Holly's death. This did not occur, and Hoffman was subsequently fired from MCA.[2]
Famous vs infamous... (No wonder STeVE is so bitter!)

So what was the neck Vagmeister’s plan concerning the stolen tapes? Was he hoping to sell them on the black market or just hoard them away? It’s an incredibly douchey thing to do, even for someone who’s been proudly sporting a mullet for decades.

It’s an incredibly douchey thing to do, even for someone who’s been proudly sporting a mullet for decades. Whatever his plans for them stolen tapes were, it only goes to show that Steve Hoffman is only a genius in the same manner that Wile E Coyote is: in their own minds. GEEENEEEUSSSS!  |
