Classic Records pride themselves for releasing each album with the original artwork, LP labels and any other materials which were included with original pressings. Classic Records have gone out of business and all of it's releases are long out of print. Their extensive catalog of half-speed mastered reissues are regarded by audiophiles as some of the best sounding LPs ever produced.

Review: In December of 2000, Classic Records re-mastered and re-issued Nursery Cryme on 180 grams of pure virgin vinyl. The cover stayed true to form, gatefold, with the original artwork and liners notes. The only thing that changed was the addition of an anti-static sleeve.

As for the recording, it got better, not just a little…..a lot.

One of the first things I listen for in a piece of vinyl is surface noise. I didn't hear any, at all. So far so good. The next thing I do is turn it up and look at my woofers for rumble. If they are dancing back and forth without making any (audible) sound it tells me there are either imperfections in the stamper or poor quality control during the cutting. The other issue with rumble is you get tracking errors. The needle is (unnaturally) thrust back and forth in the record grooves causing an imbalanced sound. I cranked my system wide open and they didn't budge. Cool.

Now it's time to sit down and really listen to the release.

In a word, WOW! In the re-mastering process, Classic Records cleaned this up a lot. The bass is much firmer and better defined, the treble and midrange that used to be a bit harsh at times has now been tamed. Those were the first things that jumped out at me.

Listening to this album still sends me reeling. I think I appreciate it now more than ever. Even more than when I first heard it. Why? Mainly because of Classics Records re-mastering process. The album is much more involving and musical. Before it was kind of dull. Now, it lives and breathes as music should. ~ TNT Audio
