(Sorry if this is repeating something--I'm a little behind in my reading) Sterling Sound was one of the first of the independent mastering labs, and did lots of good stuff. Bob Ludwig worked there before moving to Masterdisk. Records from the 70s which have the STERLING stamp are usually good, or at least as good as the master tapes and/or producers would allow. The famed Cat Stevens records, for instance, were cut there in their first and best incarnations. Some Todd Rundgren albums that were cut there sound really lousy, but that's not Sterling's fault.
