JAPAN - TIN DRUM (HALF SPEED MASTER) Vinyl LP

Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing Half-speed master. Japan's fifth and final album Tin Drum was released by Virgin Records in November 1981. Generally regarded as the group's best work, the album peaked at #12 in the UK and features the single, "The Art of Parties" and the Top 5 single, "Ghosts". Mastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road, each record was cut using a half-speed mastering technique; a specialist artisan process, which results in cuts that have a superior high frequency (treble) response and solid and stable stereo images. In short this produces a very high quality master, which in turn helps to create a very high quality record.
