Peter Gabriel (2, Scratch) - Classic Records Clarity 45 RPM Box Set - SEALED!

Peter Gabriel (2, Scratch) - Classic Records Clarity 45 RPM Box Set - SEALED!

Peter Gabriel (2, Scratch) by Classic Records.  This is the 45 RPM Clarity SV-P II 200 gram Super Vinyl Profile, hand made box set.  It originally sold for $50.00 US (about $74.00 Canadian at the time of purchase!).

The plastic wrap on this is perfect.  The box itself is flawless and shows no edge wear or shelf storage wear.  There are no corner or edge "dings" or dents.  It is perfect, new and sealed!

The genesis of the new formula came as a result of a visit to High End Audio's self proclaimed Vinyl Guru Michael Fremer's Analog Laboratory. Mr. Fremer demonstrated a Furutech LP demagnetizer. After using the demagnetizer, vocals had so much more texture, bass definition and clarity of every nuance of the recording was vastly improved and there was more low level information than we had ever heard in the recording.

Why did the demagnetizer had the sonic effects on a record? Very simply the carbon black that is ADDED to vinyl for LP manufacture contains trace metals that become randomly magnetized and interfere electrically with the cartridge hanging overhead during play. So... if carbon black and the trace metals contained therein caused playback distortion in the cartridge then why not take out the carbon black altogether? Classic Records Clarity SV-P II Clear Vinyl is the answer!

Clarity Vinyl represents the ultimate in vinyl formulations because it is comprised of over 90% percentage of the highest quality co-polymer available - a key component in vinyl pellets used for manufacturing vinyl records. Further, Clarity Vinyl has no carbon black additive, common in vinyl formulas for LP's. Carbon Black contains trace metals that become magnetized and cause "electrical distortions" in cartridges during playback that smears the sound. By taking out the Carbon Black, Classic Records is able to dramatically reduce the "electrical distortions" and thus bring more "Clarity" to the playback process, providing a more realistic musical experience to the listener and LP enthusiast.

45 rpm records have long been recognized as providing a higher fidelity musical experience resulting purely from the cartridge being able to extract more of the nuance from the complex vertical and horizontal groove modulations in stereo LP's. Further, Classic Records 45 rpm "single sided" pressings dramatically reduce the mechanical resonances created by the cartridge during playback by allowing these resonances to be more fully transmitted to and absorbed by the turntable platter. Classic Records Clarity Vinyl 45 rpm pressings are designed and manufactured to provide the "LOWEST DISTORTION" in every aspect of LP playback resulting in putting the listener as close to the music as possible. 

The Classic Reissue was cut from the original 1/2" 30 ips analog master tapes on the Classic all tube stereo cutting system at Bernie Grundman Mastering by "The Wizard" Bernie Grundman himself.

"The pairing is ideal - the former front man of Genesis, as produced by the leading light of King Crimson. On this, Peter Gabriel's second album, the songs "On the Air" and "D.I.Y." are stunning slices of modern rock circa 1978, bubbling with synths, insistent rhythms, and polished processed guitars, all enclosed in a streamlined production that nevertheless sounds as large as a stadium. Other tunes include "A Wonderful Day in a One-Way World" ,"White Shadow," "Animal Magic," the tense yet catchy "Perspective," and the reflective closer "Home Sweet Home". Transferred for the first time from the original 1/4" analog two-track master tapes by Bernie Grundman using his all tube cutting system. Now available on Classic Records 200g Clarity SV-P II as a 45rpm Four Single-sided Discs Box Set."
