Discovered Again
Factory Sealed!
NOTE: There is a small 1" split on the top seam and the top and bottom left corners are very lightly crushed. This SUPER RARE Factory Sealed Sheffield Labs Flower Label LP is in reversed absolute phase... or is it? According to the liner notes, this album is reversed absolute phase. They tell you straight out to reverse the positive and negative at the speaker for the best transient response and spatial clarity.
That out of phase quality is as plain as the nose on your face when you know what to listen for. There's an unpleasant hardness and hollowness to the midrange, a lack of depth, and an off-putting opaque quality to the sound.
An Amazing Discovery
But get this: most side ones are NOT reversed phase. How about them apples! We could not have been more shocked. Here is the most famous out of phase audiophile recording in the history of the world, and it turns out most copies are not out of phase on side one at all! (All the side twos we played were however.)
This Is Good Music
We are on record as being big fans of this album. Unlike most Direct to Disc recordings, Discovered Again actually contains real music worth listening to. During our all-day shootout, the more we played the record, the more we appreciated it. These are top quality players totally in the groove on this material. When it's played well, and the sound is as good as it is here, there's nothing dated about this kind of jazz. Hey, what can we say -- it works.
