Paul McCartney - Flaming Pie (Reissue, Remastered, 2020 Box Set) LP

This record was pressed from a master cut using a precision technique known as half-speed mastering. The procedure requires the source master and the
cutting lathe to run at half speed on a specially adapted Neumann VMS-80 lathe.
This specialised technique transforms difficult to cut high-end frequencies into easier to cut mid-range frequencies. The result is a cut with excellent
high frequency response and very solid and stable stereo images. In short, half-speed mastering produces a master of the highest quality.
In addition to being half-speed mastered, we have cut the main studio album as a double L.P. "Flaming Pie" originates from a period when the CD was
allowing longer running times and as a result this album is a little too long for a good quality single L.P.
While it could be made to fit on one vinyl disc, compromises would need to be employed to the audio. Typically, this would entail a combination of reducing
the level, limiting the amount of low frequency information and narrowing the stereo width. To avoid these compromises, this L.P. has been cut as a double.
