For those of you with technical expertise, set out below is some further information about this truly superb pressing:
The equipment line up used to produce this pressing was as follows:
- Neumann mastering lathe with Dr. Hallidays special varigroove system to take up less space for a given level.
- Neumann 300 watt Valve cutting amplifiers with low noise front end by Dr. Halliday,
- Studer A80 tape playback machine.
- Passive gain control to minimise the amount of electronics in the signal path.
- An Ortofon box which applied a variable low pass filter. This precaution was needed to protect the heads drive coils from up to 1.5 kWatts of peak energy. They were also cooled by helium gas.
- Special vinyl was made for this pressing by ICI. This was delivered as a powder not as granules. It gave a flat frequency response so no HF boost had to be added at mastering. A SUPERB LP, and one of McCartney’s best releases, in this rare Nimbus Supercut format.
This album doesn't come up for sale that often especially one in this condition so add it to your Nimbus Supercut collection, like fine wine over time they will only go up in value. When they're gone they're gone so don't miss out.
I have used the same courier service for 16 years as I find them safer and faster, usually next day.
The postage is £9.50 as I will send it by insured courier service or buyer can collect and save on postage. If preferred buyer can arrange own postage/delivery, but I won't be held responsible if it went astray/missing.
Any questions- please feel free to email me.
