Japanese Pressings - Japanese vinyl pressings are highly sought after by collectors and audiophiles for their exceptional sound quality, pristine condition, and unique packaging. Japanese plants historically pressed records using pure, "virgin" vinyl rather than recycled scrap plastic, resulting in dead-quiet playback with minimal surface noise. The mastering is often clearer and have a better spatialization. This is due to a trend in Japan to accentuate high frequencies. Sometime, the bottom frequencies are a bit better also.
Blue Bell Knoll is the fifth studio album by Scottish dream pop band Cocteau Twins, released on 19 September 1988 by 4AD. This was the band's first album to receive major-label distribution in the United States, as it was originally licensed by Capitol Records from 4AD for North American release. The album peaked at number fifteen on the UK Albums Chart, and number one hundred and nine in the United States on the Billboard 200 albums chart. "Carolyn's Fingers" from the album reached number two on the US Alternative Airplay chart.[7] In Japan, the song "Athol-Brose" was released as a single in 1990, accompanied with "Carolyn's Fingers" and "Iceblink Luck", following a feature in a Japanese television commercial.[8]
All of our records are ultrasonically cleaned. Ultrasonically cleaning a record brings back the highs and lows of a record. Ultrasound technology has been shown to be highly effective at removing contaminants from the surface of vinyl records, which can significantly improve by reducing the amount of noise and distortion caused by dirt and debris, ultrasonic cleaners can help you hear your music more clearly and with greater detail. For audiophiles who value every nuance of their music, this is a major advantage.
