Review: "Absolutely the best sounding rock record ever made." ~ Harry Pearson, Absolute Sound (TAS)

From The Album Jacket: The Sheffield Track Record" is designed as a test record to present the absolute maximum amount of signal to a high fidelity system to demonstrate the merits of different components.  This is the 22nd album we have recorded directly to the master disc without the use of any tape recorder.  Only by recording direct to disc can the full storage capability of the pure disc medium be realized and the true impact of rock instruments be captured.  To achieve this level of impact, the lathe operator was required to allow maximum groove spacing so that the full energy of the low frequencies and bass transients were recorded without compression.  For this reason the total playing time of this record is somewhat shorter than usual (about 16 minutes).  To have done anything else would have violated the purpose of making this record."

"We feel that this record can not only serve as a useful evaluation tool for the dynamic efficiency and musical responsiveness of a high fidelity system, but also will be regarded as an album with rock music that has great natural appeal and flair."
