Hank Mobley - Soul Station Master Lacquers Blue Note: BN 4031-45
You're bidding on Hank Mobley's "Soul Station" Master Lacquers which were cut from the original Blue Note master tapes by Classic Records for the 45RPM LP reissue. This box set is Limited Edition Serial No. 1 of 1 (Single Sided Lacquers: A1, A2, B1, B2) One of a kind original master lacquers cut from the original master tapes and used by Classic Records to produce stampers that pressed their vinyl reissue editions.
Here's how it works: In real time, the master tape was running along with the cutting lathe cutting the groove modulations in the master lacquer. The master lacquer was then electroplated and produced a Master plate used ultimately to make stampers that press vinyl records. Once the master lacquer has made its metal master it can still be played like an LP and represents the CLOSEST transfer to the original master tape used to cut it! The sound of lacquer is as close to the sound of the master tape as you can ever get - with the least amount of information lost in the transfer and the highest fidelity. The master lacquer of a Classic Records title offers the ultimate collectible given there is only one set per title. For these special editions, the master lacquers have been delicately trimmed down from 14" to 12" in diameter so that they can be played back on any modern turntable. Each disc is single sided and perfectly flat for playback sound that is nothing short of breathtaking. Each set is packaged in its own custom box and sealed and numbered to preserve their collectibility. This is a rare opportunity to procure a genuine, one of a kind collectible that will only grow in value over time because, there will only ever be ONE of them - period!
This set just arrived on Dec. 24th 2014 in New [Sealed] condition. This is the first Lacquers set I have ever purchased. I opened the package to carefully examine the condition of these lacquers. I have decided that it would be easier for me to deal with test pressings as Master Lacquers require special care & handling. These 4 sides are all in new unplayed condition. Sides A1,A2 & B2 are in NM condition. Side B1 has small amounts of black acetone flaking off the very outside edge where the 14" disc was trimmed down to 12". The flaking does not protrude into the record grooves or where the music plays. This Master lacquer set is packaged in a white special edition box and each lacquer comes in a white jacket. The original Blue Note 4031 album jacket also included as a bonus.
ULTRA RARE item... There will only ever be one of these Classic Records 45RPM Master Lacquer Box sets in existence...Good luck bidding!
