Diana Krall’s bestselling 2001 album, her first collaboration with legendary arranger Claus Ogerman, makes its long-awaited return in the ultra high-end
“100% Pure LP” analog format. Backed by tasteful performances from top-tier musicians and lush orchestral strings, Krall delivers exquisite renditions of
standards with her signature smoky voice in this superb vocal album.
"100% Pure LP" first appeared in 2012. It gained attention as a completely new, high-quality record made in Japan, and became a pioneer of modern
high-fidelity vinyl, attracting interest from around the world. One of its key features is the use of uncolored virgin vinyl. Unlike conventional analog records
that use carbon and other coloring agents which can affect sound quality, this LP eliminates all such additives. Instead, it uses only pure, straight polyvinyl
chloride as its raw material, which significantly improves molding stability.
Another standout feature is the metal master pressing method. Unlike conventional vinyl production, which uses a metal mother and stamper, this process presses
directly from the metal master, allowing for exceptionally accurate groove formation. However, due to lower durability, the number of pressings is
strictly limited.
Of course, even the best vinyl and pressing methods are meaningless without a high-quality source. For this release, a 96kHz/24bit WAV file was created
from the original US analog master tape. Mastering was done with minimal processing to preserve freshness and dynamic range, aiming for a natural and
faithful sound reproduction.
Additionally, this release uses 45 RPM instead of the standard 33 RPM. Though this reduces the amount of music per side and requires a 2LP format,
it allows for wider grooves and faster rotation, enhancing stability and delivering superior detail and volume.
By meticulously refining every step—from source material to vinyl composition and pressing—the “100% Pure LP” series brings out the full potential of
analog records. The result is a sound that is fresh and elegant, retaining the warmth and punch of analog while eliminating any muddiness or distortion.
Truly, a pure and clear listening experience."
