The Guitar Artistry of Charlie Byrd

Nimbus Supercut Audiophile LP, from the original master tapes for Riverside RLP 9451.

This recording was made in the early sixties, with Keter Betts on bass and Buddy Deppenschmidt on drums. This session is an object lesson in simple but effective recording. No effects or gimmicks were used, just brilliant interpretations of great and familiar melodies. The spontaneous magic of Charlie Byrd as you would enjoy it live.

Nimbus is a small British company with a reputation for consistent quality in record pressing. Nimbus Supercut releases were mastered from the the original master tapes, through an all tube mastering process, using no limiting, to result in a high quality pressing which was as close as possible in sound to the original recording. This album is from a small production run (around 1000) specifically produced for the UK magazine “Practical Hi-Fi” (later re-named as “Hi-Fi Today”) in the early 80’s, and is therefore somewhat rare. Nimbus supercut discs are generally accepted as sonically superior to similar Mobile Fidelity (MFSL) recordings.

This album is still in the original shrink wrap, although not sealed. The wrap covers approx. 90% of the cover.

Vinyl grading is usually based on the Goldmine standard and is as follows:

“SS” Still Sealed – For the collector that demands nothing but perfection.

“M” Mint - a near perfect, or unplayed record.

“NM” Near Mint - in factory fresh condition, like new.

EX+ - close to like new with only superficial signs of use that don't affect play. Will satisfy all but the most vain and demanding collector.

EX - a used, reasonable copy. Shows slight signs of wear.

VG+ - There will be obvious signs of wear and the possibility a few skuffs and/or light surface noise between tracks or during quiet passages, but still quite nice.

VG - significant wear and marks and usually quite noticeable surface noise,still plays great.

Good - In the record world, "Good" is not good! From here on down, we're talking about beat-up records!
