Flamenco is a collection of two albums of floor dancing and guitar showpieces from JVC: Flamenco Ole and SABICAS. Even after 43 years these recordings have not lost any of their fascination and liveliness. This recording is considered to be the "best Flamenco recording on the planet." The sparkling transience of the Spanish castanets, the tremendous dynamics of the dancers' intricate foot dance, and the fascinated guitar playing by Sabicas were all well-recorded in this recording. It is real Flamenco in the truest sense and at the highest standard. It is a Flamenco classic!
This original recording was remastered by Kazuie Sugimoto at JVC Mastering Center with the original master. The final master was sent to the best half-speed mastering engineer, Miles Showell, at Abbey Road Studios in the UK. Then stampers were made in the UK in one-step plating processing. At last, this Hi Fi Flamenco UHQLP creates an unbelievable sound surpassing other LP formats in terms of better imaging, better dynamic, and much clean sound!
UHQLP - Ultimate Hi Quality vinyl LP
Abbey Road Studios
Half-speed mastering done by award winning engineer Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios in the UK.
Half-Speed Mastering
The cutting lathe running at half-speed (the original being 33 1/3 rpm or 45 rpm) enables the cutting stylus twice as much time to carve the most intricate of grooves. All the difficult, top end frequencies inherently become relatively easy to cut mid range frequencies. This results in vinyl reproduction that in real time, has excellent high frequency response and very stable stereo imaging.
One-Step Processing
Less is more! Instead of the standard three-step lacquer plating process, UHQLP only uses "One-Step." In "One-Step" the Father stamper (the very first stamper plated from the lacquer) is utilized to press the vinyl record. This process ensures the lowest surface noise and more musical detail and dynamics.
UHQLP - Pressed with High-Quality Control
UHQLP is pressed on virgin vinyl with the newest generation, German-made pressing machine, under the supervision of AQCD Technology Company. With the help of an advanced German controlling system, time duration, pressure and temperature are critically set and strictly controlled. UHQLP is a vinyl LP faithfully made to the original master source.
