Original Master Recording

Mastered from the original Abbey Road Studio master tapes.

 

Half-Speed LP Mastering

Mobile Fidelity is the first label to use the half-speed mastering technique. All LP releases are pressed from lacquers cut at 1/2 normal playing speed. This is accomplished by playing master tape at 1/2 it's normal speed, while simultaneously running the cutting lathe at 1/2 speed. For instance, a 30 inch per second speed tape would be played at 15ips, while the lathe is running at16?? RPM (when cutting a standard 33?? RPM LP). The half-speed mastering technique allows for extended frequency response and better transient attack.

 

Supervinyl

Pressed on virgin "SuperVinyl" vinyl. Supervinyl is a harder and more durable vinyl formula than traditional formulas. The pressings exhibit a very low surface noise, as well as pops and clicks.


LP is NM, with no visible marks of any kind on the vinyl.  It is clean, bright and shiny, and looks new.  I have not played it.

- light mark near the center hole on side 1

The cover is VG+

- all 4 corners are intact with no wear

- there is a wrinkle in the front photo near the middle visible in reflective light.  It appears to have been from the factory as the cardboard is not wrinkled.

- seam split in the center bottom

 

The interior cardboard protective sleeve is NM
