RARE HIGH QUALITY (see: AUDIOPHILE) Japan pressing
Superior supersonic Japanese vinyl is on the level with audiophile sound quality:
Japanese vinyl releases are premium quality pressings, much sought after by audiophiles and collectors alike. In the 1960s Toshiba pioneered top quality red vinyl pressings using their trademark ‘Ever-Clean’ process this utilized a special ingredient intended to prevent the build-up of static electricity on the vinyl. Japanese pressings are synonymous with quality - the vinyl shines like no other vinyl - everything about their releases feels special. When US audiophile label Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab first released their series of high quality pressings the records were manufactured in Japan. The sonic quality of Japanese pressings is considered to be among the best in the world and, in addition, they are beautifully presented, their covers usually printed on better quality heavy stock paper and often including a bonus lyric insert with dual language Japanese & English text.
This is a NICE collectible that is not getting any easier to find...future investment item....

...The second great album by the legendary JEFF BECK teamed up with a powerful backing band with the powerhouse drumming of Tony Newman who was a force with the mighty MAY BLITZ only a year later....
With the teaming up of Jeff Beck on lead guitar, Rod Stewart on vocals, Ronnie Wood on bass and Tony Newman on drums to form the first Jeff Beck Group, the world witnessed the birth of a new genre in music: a heavy British rock spectacular. With Beck's blistering blues riffs and Stewarts gravelly hobo voice, this is where the SuperGroups first started. This is a must for any serious rock music fan. Admittedly, the sound lacks the dynamism and performance of, say Led Zeppelin, but easily makes up for this in the musicianship, vocals and, not least, the songs. The first album to be released, Truth, features some classic blues rock songs such as I ain't Superstitious and Rock My Plimsoul, whilst at the same time effortlessly slipping into the more soulful Greensleeves and Ol' Man River. Sound dymanics and contrast are an important and oft overlooked ingredient in the best of heavy rock. The arrangements, here, however, are full of light and dark corners and shade. BECK-OLA is a classic album which redefined rock music in the mid/late sixties. Beckola, on the other hand, goes one step further and offers something genuinely innovative and as such can be viewed as a landmark album from 1969. Nicky Hopkins joined the group on keyboards and Rod Stewart was at his zenith as a blues singer and Jeff Beck was rapidly developing into a serious heavy blues guitarist. Whatever music Beck had made before was only leading up to this breathtaking album. The accent, as the sleeve notes explain, is on heavy music. And it doesn't come any heavier than this. Plynth, Hangman's Knee and Rice Pudding are all intelligently arranged songs, avoiding the crash bang wallop school of heavy rock, preferring instead an air of control and suspense. Historically important as this album is, it is still as exciting and fresh as the day it was released.
