Description
THE DEFINITIVE AUDIOPHILE PRESSING: 1976 MONARCH / TML MASTERING If you want to hear Frampton Comes Alive exactly as it sounded in the mastering suite in 1976, this is the copy. This rare Monarch (MR) pressing features the prestigious TML (The Mastering Lab) stamps on all four sides, ensuring the highest possible fidelity from the original master tapes. RARE "TML" & MONARCH DEADWAX SPECS:
- Mastering: Stamped TML-M (Master Lathe) and TML-S (Slave Lathe). These were cut at Doug Sax's legendary Mastering Lab, known for the most transparent sound in the industry.
- Pressing Plant: Stamped "MR" (Monarch Record Mfg.) with matching Delta ( △ △ ) numbers (20307/20308). Monarch pressings are prized for their superior plating and "hot" output.
- Labels: Features the early A&M White Labels, signifying a premier first-run pressing.
- Ultrasonic Cleaned: Deep-cleaned in a 35kHz distilled water bath to remove decades of microscopic debris.
- Anti-Static Protection: Both LPs are housed in brand-new Anti-Static archival inner sleeves to prevent "paper scuffs" and static pop.
- The Sound: From the talk-box solo on "Show Me The Way" to the acoustic clarity of "Wind of Change," this TML Monarch press outperforms standard mass-market copies.
- Original EX Gatefold Jacket (beautifully preserved colors).
- Original A&M "Dog" Inner Sleeves (clean and crisp).
- New 3-mil Outer Sleeve included for protection.
