WHY JAPANESE VINYL?

Japanese vinyl pressings are globally renowned for their superior"virgin" vinyl compounds, which provide an exceptionally low "stone silent" noise floor and crystal-clear audio fidelity. During the 1970s and '80s, Japanese plants maintained much higher higher quality control standards than their Western counterparts, using fresh stampers to ensure every copy captured the full dynamic range of the master tapes. These releases are also celebrated for their premium packaging, featuring heavy-duty card-stock covers and archival-grade inner sleeves that preserve the record better over time. For the serious listener, a Japanese pressing represents the pinnacle of audiophile craftsmanship and long-term durability.
