Prince - Purple Rain (Because Sound Matters One-Step Edition, Indie / D2C Exclusive, LP Vinyl)
One-Step vinyl is the ultimate vinyl pressing.
Because Sound Matters' meticulous One-Step process creates the definitive sounding audiophile version of the all-time classic album, Prince ‘Purple Rain’.
192kHz/24bit files transferred from the original EQ’d analog master tapes have been used to ensure ‘Purple Rain’ has never sounded better!
This initial pressing of this One-Step version is limited to 6,000 copies. The album is housed inside a top quality, uniquely designed numbered slipcase. The enclosed LP will feature an “Old Style” single pocket gatefold tip-on jacket with original artwork, including the original inner sleeve and poster.
Special care has been taken to faithfully preserve the original sound with exceptional clarity and depth, capturing the recording's nuances and subtleties at every step, in order to create the best sounding record possible.
The One-Step process is highly regarded among audiophiles and collectors for its unparalleled sound fidelity and represents the pinnacle of vinyl manufacturing craftsmanship.
