The Emperor of the Keyboard, Oscar Peterson, delivers crisp and elegant renditions of standards and bossa nova tunes with his signature beautiful touch and
refined phrasing in this 1964 recording. Featuring the audiophile reference track “You Look Good to Me”, this legendary album—renowned for its superb recording
by master engineer Bob Simpson—has been revived in a super high-end analog format as part of the “100% Pure LP” series.
"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.
