Complete Analog disc mastering chain

Pressed in Germany

The Beatles remastering engineers saved the very best for last. Cut from the original 1/4-inch analog master tapes and pressed at Optimal in Germany on dead-quiet 180g LPs, the Beatles' The Beatles (The White Album) is made by and for audiophiles. More collectable than its stereo and digital predecessors, and featuring utterly transparent-to-the-source sound, it is completely different than its stereo analog counterpart by way of the all-analog cutting process and audiophile-focused manufacturing. Purists rejoice: No digital is involved in any part of the chain! This pressing presents the band as it was meant to be heard.
Mastered from quarter-inch master tapes at Abbey Road Studios by Grammy-winning engineer Sean Magee and Grammy-winning mastering supervisor Steve Berkowitz, The Beatles (The White Album) exemplifies sonic transparency and analog purity.  While the recent stereo LP and CDs were created from digital remasters, Magee and Berkowitz cut the records for the The Beatles (The White Album) mono 2LP employing the same procedures used in the 1960s, guided by the original albums and detailed transfer notes made by the original cutting engineers. They did it right!
  Working in the very same room at Abbey Road Studios where most of the Beatles’ albums were initially cut, the pair first dedicated weeks to concentrated listening, fastidiously comparing the master tapes with first pressings of the mono records made in the 1960s. Using a rigorously tested Studer A80 machine to play back the precious tapes, the new vinyl was cut on a legendary Neumann VMS80 lathe. (Some of our staff here at US Recording have used this model lathe..incredible! )

Comprised of material each member wrote on acoustic guitars while on a spiritual retreat in India, The Beatles—most commonly known as The White Album—remains the band’s most expansive, and, for multiple reasons, famous record. While its double-album sprawl suggests indulgence, there are few (if any) missteps. It stands as the group’s last one-for-all, all-for-one effort, even if most of the songs double as solo material given the singing by individual members on many of the tracks. Forty-plus years on, it’s impossible not to love what’s here. And now, with this definitive 2LP pressing, you’ll worship it.

Stepping back to the more basic production techniques of its earlier albums in order to distance themselves from the myriad imitators, the Beatles drop the psychedelic effects and focus on the tunes. Not that further recording-studio advancements don’t assist the band in making history. With the arrival of 3M eight-track machines, front skin removed from Ringo’s bass drums, and tea towels placed on the other drums, the sound is deadened and thickened, characteristics that are transparent on this stellar pressing!

    We Care About What We Ship!
HASSLE FREE SERVICE FROM THE VINYL SOURCE YOU CAN TRUST!

All our vinyl titles are brand new, pristine, factory sealed (not just *sealed* which could be done out back with a sealing machine), stored in a climate controlled environment, and are inspected for any visible jacket damage by two different people before being double boxed and shipped. In addition to other protections, our packaging includes a layer of bubble insulation under the inner box to help protect the LP from the environment.  Our packaging isn't bullet proof, but it's a whole lot better than the way other companies ship vinyl.

All our vinyl titles are premium pressings sold for store sale and are never post-spec *seconds* sold to some mass merchants for internet sales to meet a price point. (These can be "special" pressings on recycled non-virgin vinyl done late in the life of a stamper past it's prime and rated number of stampings and are similar to the "Record Club" pressings some years ago. We hoped this baloney was over with.  )

US Recording never sells any product that's been handled by the public, as you will get from some media chains selling vinyl online from their various locations. US Recording is warehouse distribution only.

We show our own photos, both front and back of actual copies of what you will be shipped, so there should be no question what you will be getting, stickers and all.  Note: These photos may not reflect the exact version some other retailers are shipping, however, so be careful when shopping, especially if they only show you a stock photo of company artwork. (There can be different versions and qualities even with the same UPC Code.)

• US Recording uses Ebay "Hassle Free Returns" for still sealed items.  If your vinyl is still factory and USR sealed (we add another layer of protection) and undamaged, return it per EBAY instructions within our return timeframe, in the same boxes and packing you got it in for safe shipping. Please do not use other retailer's "mailers" to return our product as we value even defective product more than that. Note: No returns accepted on unsealed titles unless it is defective per our definition of defective per Ebay policies unless it has a pressing defect.


• We guarantee all vinyl you buy from us will play. Yes, we are a little more strict about returns but we do NOT reseal returns and sell them as new like other retailers (even some massive ones.) If your vinyl turns out to have a pressing defect, contact us through the Ebay message system (please do not open a case for a return! ) for a return authorization. We will refund your money upon receipt back of the defective copy, all shrink wrap and bags and free items, in the original shipping boxes we used to ship it to you, and within the time frame of our return policy. NOTE::  A pressing defect is only defined as any defect in the surface of the vinyl rendering it unable to play (it skips) such as a piece of label pressed into the grooves or a warp. We do not warrant any surface noise, downloads, free items, user damage, quality of the pressing, and anything to do with the jacket or sleeve.  (Side note: Someone actually wanted to return a $450 box set because a word was misspelled on a liner note...)


• US RECORDING cannot do replacements or swap out titles. If you are returning a defective item or returning something still USR and Factory sealed, you will get a refund. You pay shipping.
  


• ALWAYS wet clean all new LPs before their first use to remove record sleeve dust and other particles from manufacturing. We recommend Lasermedia VNC-4  Vinyl Record Cleaner because it does the job well without harmful solvents.


• Disclaimer:  The product images shown are US Recording Media photos of a copy of the item for sale, but are not actual photos of the actual individual item you will be sent.   If the stickers on the title are an issue to you,  please contact us before ordering to make sure you get exactly what you're looking for!   PLEASE CAREFULLY REVIEW THE PHOTOS BEFORE MAKING A DECISION TO BUY TO ENSURE IT'S THE VERSION YOU WANT.
