TECHNICAL NOTES

What is an Original Master Recording?  

Original master recordings are limited edition, state-of-the-art records of spectacular and unparalleled audio quality. Hearing one played through your own audio system may virtually duplicate the experience of being in the recording studio. They give you all of the pure natural sound that you’ve never heard before, plus freedom from noise and distortion.

Original master recordings give you the opportunity to experience the full audio potential of your system. The better your equipment, the better the sound.

It is not possible to achieve this quality and realism from ordinary records—in fact— the only factor Original Master Recordings have in common with mass-produced records is their shape.

How Original Master Recordings differ from conventional LP’s

1. Original Master Recordings are exclusively transferred from the original master tape that the musicians recorded in the studio, not the second, third or greater copy of that master tape.

2. Original master recordings employ MFSL’s exclusive half speed mastering process to capture very nuance of sound from that master tape. Although more time consuming and critical, this procedure allows every conceivable trace of high fidelity information to be inscribed into the grooves of your Original master recording. If you are seriously are into , half speed special releases are indeed the way to go. That they cut them at half speed on virgin really does make a huge difference in audio detail. MFSL records are worth the cost. You can be sure the pressing quality is excellent.  

3. Quality, not quantity, is the most important consideration in the creation of each Original master recordings. MFSL strictly limits the number of pressings they allow of each Original master recording. The Original master recordings, besides becoming collectors items assure you that the quality of the last pressing matches the quality of the first.

4. Original master recordings are pressed overseas, by the Victor Company of Japan) utilizing an exclusive compound far superior  to the so-called 100% virgin vinyl — for maximum clarity and startling quietness. to demonstrate just how pure  the vinyl of an Original master recordings  is, hold it up to the light—you can actually see through it! Super Vinyl give each Original master recording unsurpassed durability with a lifespan at least five times longer than mass-produced records.

5. Each Original master recording is protectively custom-packaged to maintain flatness and prevent warping. Original master recordings contain a specially constructed heavy duty album jacket that is supported by a rigid cardboard stiffener. as opposed to the shrink wrap that contributes to warpage in ordinary common mass-produced records. To help eliminate dust, and hence surface noise, a unique static-free ‘rice paper’ inner sleeve protects each disc. Buying MFSL is like upgrading from a Chevy to a Cadillac. When you buy a MFSL title, you are paying for quality: heavy flat record, top notch packaging, top notch mastering from the Original .
