Peter Gabriel Birdy Classic Records Clarity 45 MASTER LACQUER 1 Of 1 Like MFSL

Description: PETER GABRIEL Birdy ( 2002 US Original Master Lacquers 45pm box set. A one of a kind set cut from the original master tapes given to Classic Records by Real World to produce the stampers that pressed their 200gram vinyl reissue editions of this album. Only one set (1 of 1) lacquers cut (1 per LP side - 4 sides: A1 A2 B1 B2). 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 & produced a Master plate used ultimately to make stampers that press vinyl records. Once the master lacquer has made this metal master can still be played like an LP & represents the CLOSEST transfer to the original master tape used to cut it. The sound of a master 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 "one of a kind 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 & perfectly flat for playback sound that is nothing short of breathtaking. Each set is packaged in its own custom box 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. To clarify this is a 1 of 1 metal master lacquer set. 4x single sided discs which are fragile but can be played on a normal turntable. They are metal discs with a lacquer coating. I have opened it and played these discs once. I bought it new/sealed and it comes as it did when I received it just without the plastic shrink. I am a meticulous collector of high end audio equipment and media. Rest assured this comes from a non smoking, pet free, child free household where enormous care is taken.
