● This best-of compilation from Teresa Teng’s Taurus era (originally released in 1986)—featuring the hit singles “Tsugunai”
and “Aijin”, their B-sides “Waratte Kanpai”
and “Ame ni Nurete”, the city pop–infused “Midasarete”, and seven beautifully re-recorded versions of signature Polydor-era
classics such as “Yoru no Ferry Boat”
and “Gelsomina no Aruita Michi”—is now revived as part of the ultra–high-end 100% Pure LP series. Also included as bonus
tracks are two of her major songs released
after the original album: “Toki no Nagare ni Mi wo Makase” and “Wakare no Yokan”, making this the ultimate selection.
● “100% Pure LP” is a special Made-in-Japan series launched in 2012, widely recognized around the world as a pioneer of
modern high-fidelity vinyl. One of its defining
features is the use of uncolored virgin vinyl, completely eliminating carbon and other pigments typically used in standard LPs
- materials known to affect sound quality.
Using only pure, straight PVC compound ensures remarkable consistency and stability in the pressing process.
● Another major highlight is the adoption of metal master pressing. By omitting the usual intermediate steps - metal mother
and stamper - the grooves are pressed directly
from the metal master, allowing for exceptionally accurate groove formation. Due to lower durability, however, the number
of pressings must be strictly limited.
● This release further elevates fidelity by using 45RPM, a format generally reserved for 12-inch singles. Although the shorter
playback time per side necessitates a 2LP
configuration, the wider and longer grooves—and the increased rotational speed—provide superior stability and deliver
significant advantages in sonic detail and richness.
● The audio sources are DSD files transferred from the original analog master tapes in 2018 (with the two bonus tracks
sourced from 96kHz/24bit WAV files transferred
from the original analog tapes in 2025). Mastering has been kept as flat as possible to preserve freshness and dynamic
range, pursuing a natural and faithful reproduction
of the original sound.
● Through an uncompromising approach to every stage—from selecting masters and vinyl materials to the pressing method—
the 100% Pure LP series extracts the full
potential of the vinyl format. The result is a sound that retains the punch and warmth unique to analog, while eliminating all
muddiness and coloration. What emerges is,
quite literally, a pure and crystal-clear sonic experience.
