CD Reviews

Superhuman milestone

K. Eng | 11/14/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Quote from liner notes:

"Ask Harry: 'The albums we've done for Sheffield Lab are probably the only times I've ever been really satisfied with the recordings. I'd work for these people for nothing to do these records, because it's such a beautiful feeling to hear them.'"

"Harry and the band would record one entire side of an LP in sequence, with only a few seconds pause between cuts as the engineers spiraled the stylus to the next selection. One goof, any goof, required starting the side all over again."

Superhuman, peak-performance virtuosity, pure and simple, captured using the finest analog audiophile recording techniques of its time."

Great CD's
