RECORD DESCRIPTION

BURT BACHARACH "Casino Royale" Audiophile TAS 200gr 45rpm 4LP Clarity Vinyl Box Set 

One of the most debated and sought after audiophile titles that has graced many Top Ten high-end lists for decades. This quirky soundtrack, to the equally quirky James Bond spoof by director John Huston features the music and arrangements by the prolific and very hip Burt Bacharach. The highlight of the set is the breathy rendition by the late Dusty Springfield on The Look Of Love. The main theme and supporting incidental music by a young engineer, but soon to be super-producer Phil Ramone, is still stunning even thirty years later.

 Clarity Vinyl represents the ultimate in vinyl formulations because it is comprised of over 90 percent of the highest
quality co-polymer available – a key component in vinyl pellets used for manufacturing vinyl records. Further,
Clarity Vinyl has no carbon black additive, common in vinyl formulas for LPs. Carbon black contains trace metals
that become magnetized and cause "electrical distortions" in cartridges during playback that smears the sound.
By taking out the Carbon Black, Classic Records is able to dramatically reduce the "electrical distortions" and
thus bring more "Clarity" to the playback process, providing a more realistic musical experience to the listener
and LP enthusiast. 45-RPM records have long been recognized as providing a higher fidelity musical experience resulting
purely from the cartridge being able to extract more of the nuance from the complex vertical and horizontal groove
modulations in stereo LPs. Further, Classic Records 45-RPM single-sided pressings dramatically reduce the mechanical
resonances created by the cartridge during playback by allowing these resonances to be more fully transmitted to and
absorbed by the turntable platter. Classic Records Clarity Vinyl 45-RPM pressings are designed and manufactured to
provide the lowest distortion in every aspect of LP playback resulting in putting the listener as close to the music as possible.
