This ultimate authorized production of Famous Blue Raincoat is getting the complete Impex 1STEP treatment! After Bernie Grundman cuts the last lacquers, Jennifer's analogue master tapes will return to her personal vault for good.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImpex has always treasured our work with Ms. Warnes, from the original Famous Blue Raincoat 45 Box, The Well, The Hunter, and her latest LP, Another Time, Another Place. Each of these releases celebrates Jennifer's singular legacy of musical excellence combined with exceptional craft in coordination with the original production team of Jennifer, C. Roscoe Beck, and Bernie Grundman.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor FBR's ultimate release, Impex returned to Jennifer's first-generation analog \"slave\" master tapes and let Bernie work his magic within the laborious 1STEP mastering process on BG Mastering's tube-cutting lathe. We will cut as many refs and test pressings as needed to get the quietest surfaces and intimate detailing. Final discs will be pressed at RTI on VR-900 super vinyl, illuminating every note and nuance of this cherished masterwork.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe three 1STEP LPs and the elegant new 24-page booklet are housed in a deluxe four-sleeve Monster Pack tip-on jacket and booklet with metallic accents and spot gloss applications. Even if you have every version of this pop classic, you will find considerable value and new benefits from this unbeatable production!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 1STEP Process:\u003cbr\u003eThe Impex 1STEP process relies on short, tightly controlled runs that require a new lacquer after each run of 500 pressings. This unforgiving format has the lacquer skipping the regular father-mother process, going right to a single convert and then pressing. Though this dramatically increases mastering and production costs, it also assures each run is more consistent from disc to disc, with less noise, clearer details, and deeper bass.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReducing production complexity to just a single \"convert\" disc between the lacquer and the press greatly improves groove integrity, diminishes non-fill anomalies, and increases signal integrity from the master tape to your system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeatures:\u003cbr\u003eLacquers cut by Bernie Grundman from Jennifer's 1987 analogue master tapes. Each set of lacquers is used for short runs of 500 to optimize detail, dynamics, and soundstage. Doing this required Bernie to cut over 100 lacquers throughout the 1STEP production cycle!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSelections:\u003cbr\u003eSide A:\u003cbr\u003eFirst We Take Manhattan\u003cbr\u003eBird on a Wire\u003cbr\u003eFamous Blue Raincoat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSide B:\u003cbr\u003eJoan of Arc\u003cbr\u003eAin't No Cure for Love\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSide C:\u003cbr\u003eComing Back to You\u003cbr\u003eSong of Bernadette\u003cbr\u003eA Singer Must Die\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSide D:\u003cbr\u003eCame So Far for Beauty\u003cbr\u003eNight Comes On\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSide E:\u003cbr\u003eThe Ballad of the Runaway Horse\u003cbr\u003eIf It Be Your Will\u003cbr\u003eA Singer Must Die (8-track Analog Demo Version)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSide F:\u003cbr\u003eJoan of Arc (Live)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"punk to funk heaven","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44190889214209,"sku":"","price":190.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1837\/1115\/files\/jennifer-warnes-famous-blue-raincoat-1step-numbered-limited-edition-180g-45rpm-3lp-6276885.png?v=1779732250","url":"https:\/\/punktofunkheaven.co.uk\/products\/jennifer-warnes-famous-blue-raincoat-1step-numbered-limited-edition-180g-45rpm-3lp","provider":"punk to funk heaven","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
