Description

Promotional copy of Bonnie Tyler’s multi-platinum 1983 masterpiece, Faster Than the Speed of Night. Produced by the legendary Jim Steinman, this album features the definitive, chart-topping version of "Total Eclipse of the Heart."

 

Promotional copies from this specific 1983 Columbia run were pressed in limited quantities strictly for radio station programmers, music reviewers, and industry executives. They were sourced from the earliest, freshest master stampers to ensure maximum dynamic range for FM broadcast playback.

 

The deadwax runout markings on this copy are highly significant for audiophiles:

  • Side A Deadwax: AL-38710-1T1
  • Side B Deadwax: BL-38710-G1B

 

The 1T and G codes denote original lacquer cuts transferred to the metal parts used by Columbia’s premier Midwestern pressing facilities (Terre Haute, Indiana and Carrollton, Georgia). The single-digit "1" indicators confirm this record was struck from the very first generation of production stampers. The sonic profile offers deep, punchy bass, zero modern digital compression, and a sweeping, cinematic soundstage that flawlessly captures Steinman's signature "Wall of Sound" production style.
