Fink The LowSwing Sessions Deluxe Hand-Numbered Limited Edition 45rpm Import 2LP

At the beginning of April 2023, British singer Fink and LowSwing Records' producer Guy Sternberg met to record a very special session. Over the span of two days together with a dream band of musicians — including bass hero Tim Lefebvre (most known from David Bowie's Black Star album) and drummer Earl Harvin (Tindersticks, Seal, Jeff Beck) — they recorded some of Fink's favorite tracks from Bowie and The Smiths, some classic choices by producer Guy Sternberg from Soundgarden and Little Feat, and a couple of Fink's own classic cuts.

As Fink later wrote: "The Session was the catalyst of musical desire...a few days in a real recording studio with some friends, stellar sessionistas, and nothing to think about apart from singing and playing."

The album was recorded and mixed at one of Berlin's oldest studios, Tritonus, where Nick Cave, Erasure, Element of Crime and many others made their records. The recording was done on 2-inch 24-track Studer A827 and was mixed down to a Studer A80 ½-inch machine at 30ips.

Later the record was mastered and cut to lacquer at George Martin's legendary AIR Studios in London.

Fink's The LowSwing Sessions is available exclusively on vinyl. Two editions will be released: a standard, single 33-RPM 140g disc and a "Deluxe" limited edition packaged in a luxurious gatefold cover and pressed on two 45-RPM discs. Both versions are pressed at Optimal Media GmbH.

This album is produced in co-operation with Brinkmann Audio, high-end manufacturer of the world's finest turntables and audio components.
