Record Debut: In a recent interview published in Goldmine Magazine, Herbert A. Belkin, former President of Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab, recalled the debut of the MFSL Original Master Recording LP of Dark Side of the Moon. He was quoted as saying, "We presented Dark Side of the Moon at the Chicago Consumer Electronics Show in June of 1979. The response was so amazing. The commercial response was so amazing that the company literally was turned upside down, and these two fellows, neither of whom had a great deal of business experience, were swamped. I wound up spending more and more time helping them. Late in the fall, Brad Miller asked me if I would come in and take over the running of the business for an equity position and a salary. On January 1, 1980, I became the president of Mobile Fidelity."
Record Production Process: The MFSL Original Master Recording record production process began with the use of the original stereo master tape. Herbert A. Belkin, who had worked for Capitol Records and ABC Records before becoming President of Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab, originally worked for MFSL as a consultant and helped MFSL gain access to the original master tape for Dark Side of the Moon in 1978. Using the original master tape, MFSL cut a disc lacquer. This was done on a disc cutter turntable, which was driven by a quartz-lock motor that rotated the turntable at 16 2/3 rpm, one half the speed an LP plays at (33 1/3 rpm), while the master tape was played at one-half the actual recorded speed. This half-speed disc cutting process allowed the cutting stylus twice as much time to carve an accurate groove in the disc. Although half-speed cutting uses only one quarter of the power needed for normal speed cutting, two 600 watt per channel cutting head amplifiers were used, producing significantly better top end and overall frequency response. No transformers, limiting, or compression were used during the process. Immediately after the metal lacquer was cut, it was refrigerated for protection. For the plating process, the metal lacquer was sent to Japan where the metal master (negative), and the mother stamper (positive) were created by the Victor Company of Japan (JVC) for MFSL. A test pressing was then made for approval by the MFSL production department. After their approval, the vinyl records were stamped. The system used for cutting the albums was made by Ortofon, and used 17 op amps in series with the gain path.
