One of its features is the use of \"uncolored virgin vinyl,\" which eliminates all coloring agents that affect sound, such as carbon, that are normally used in analog records. Using only pure, straight vinyl chloride as the raw material significantly enhances molding stability.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003e●Another key point is the use of \"metal master pressing.\" By omitting the metal mother and stamper from the process leading up to pressing a normal analog record and pressing directly from the metal master, it is possible to create grooves that are overwhelmingly faithful to the original. However, due to its inferior durability, the number of pressings is strictly limited.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003e●This release also uses 45 RPM, which is used for 12-inch singles, instead of the usual 33 RPM of LPs. This results in a double LP set because the amount of time that can be recorded on each side is shorter, but it allows for wider and longer grooves to be engraved, and the high-speed rotation improves stability, creating a significant advantage in detail reproduction and rich volume.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003e●The audio source is DSD files transferred from the original analog master tapes in 2018 (the two bonus tracks in 2022), and mastered as flat as possible to preserve the freshness and dynamic range of the sound. The goal is to create a natural sound that is faithful to the original.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003e●In short, by thoroughly pursuing every step from the selection of master and vinyl materials to pressing, we have created \"100% Pure LP\" that maximizes the true value of vinyl records. The guts and warmth unique to analog remain, while a truly pure, clear sound unfolds, free from muddiness and impurities.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Press-1","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45223774126262,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0724\/4070\/9302\/files\/TeresaTeng10001.png?v=1782622015","url":"https:\/\/press-1.com\/products\/j-pop-archive-original-best-hits-2-100-pure-lp-limited-edition-only-1000-copies-japan-made-lp","provider":"Press-1","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
