“ABBEY ROAD’S world-renowned engineers have been cutting grooves into discs since the studios first
opened their doors in 1931. This record was pressed from a master cut using a precision technique known
as half-speed mastering. The procedure requires the source master and the cutting lathe to run at half speed
on a specially adapted Neumann VMS-80 lathe.
This rare and specialised technique transforms difficult to cut highend frequencies into relatively easy to cut midrange
frequencies. The result is a cut with excellent high frequency response and very solid and stable stereo images.
In short, half-speed mastering produces a master of the highest quality that enables the pressing plant to produce a
superlative record.”
