Reviews :
Long a collector favorite, this early stereo recording now remastered by Abbey Road at half-speed presents a set of lively American light classics: "Mexican Rhapsody (Robert McBride); "Savannah River Holiday" (Ron Nelson); "Kentucky Mountain Portraits (Lyndol Mitchell); "Joe Clark Steps Out" (Charles G. Vardell Jr.).
Half-speed mastering.
In half-speed mastering, the whole process is slowed down to half of the original speed. A typical 33 1/3 rpm record is cut at 16 2/3 rpm. The source material is also slowed down (reducing the pitch in the process) meaning the final record will still sound normal when played back. Slowing the whole process down allows more time, which means the end result sounds better and is more efficient — allowing engineering to minimize the effects of inherent limitations within the vinyl format. The result is a more accurate and more open high-frequency response in the half speed vinyl when compared with a normal speed recording.
