HOLLY COLE Temptation
NM/NM Used One Sided, 8 Disc Audiophile Pressing - 45 RPM Series

Record Label: Classic Records/Blue Note JP 5003 45

Highly collectable and now out of print release from audiophile label, Classic Records. This title was mastered at Half Speed from the original source master tapes. An all-analog, tube amplification process was used at every step, then pressed on high quality virgin vinyl, 200 grams Clarity Vinyl at 45 RPM on eight single-sided discs, for the highest possible audio quality.

Classic Records used a proprietary vinyl that guaranteed virtually no surface noise and sonically superior dynamics.

In short, this is as good as this album is ever going to sound on vinyl. Don't wait... this four record set is long out of print and growing harder to find - especially in this Near Mint condition.

This 8 record set is like new with the seal broken. Box is perfect... there are no flaws or imperfections. Records have never been played. Near Mint (Our highest rating for records NOT new and still sealed)

Review: Over the past decade, new talents such as Cassandra Wilson, Patricia Barber, and Holly Cole have redefined the world of female jazz vocals. Cole’s Temptation, a 1995 Blue Note release, is her musical tribute to the writings of Tom Waits. Besides being a superb audiophile recording (perfect in every production detail, from the rendering of Cole’s amazing voice to the incredibly natural sound captured by producer Craig Street’s team), this album has garnered kudos for her interpretation of Waits? unique compositions. Standouts include a catchy version of Jersey Girl, which made it onto a number of radio playlists, and a rendition of The Briar and the Rose, brilliantly augmented by the Canadian Brass. Also included are Take Me Home, Train Song, Temptation, Falling Down, Invitation to the Blues, Frank’s Theme, Little Boy Blue, I Don’t Wanna Grow Up, Tango ‘til They’re Sore, The Heart of Saturday Night, Soldier’s Things, I Want You and Good Old World. This beautiful sounding recording is available for the first time on Classic Records 200g Clarity Vinyl at 45rpm as an eight single sided discs box set.

About Clarity Vinyl: 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.
