LP - Limited 40th Anniversary Half-Speed Master Edition 180g Black Vinyl with obi strip & 4-page booklet insert. Housed in a poly-lined inner sleeve.

This new edition has been newly mastered by Phil Kinrade, and expertly cut using transfers of the original 1⁄2” digital audio tapes using precision half-speed mastering by Barry Grint at AIR Mastering. The equipment at AIR Mastering uses balanced mains power for improved performance and lower noise and the digital equipment is locked to an extremely accurate digital clock to reduce jitter. The Neumann VMS80 lathes and cutting amplifiers used have been fully renovated and modified to enable half speed mastering.

Pressed on 180g heavyweight vinyl, featuring an obi strip and housed in a poly-lined inner sleeve. Also includes a 4-page booklet insert.
