Most of the current CDs are recorded with multiple microphones in a dead-sounding studio, with reverb and overdubs added in the mix. We decided that partnering with a audiophile record label vs. building and mastering a CD from scratch ourselves would end up sounding better and be better for you as a competitor.
After looking at a wide variety of labels, other audiophile labels do great recordings, too, but few capture the full-bodied tonality that we were looking for. And fewer still have signed an eclectic array of artists. We selected Chesky Records to partner with to build this disk.
Chesky's approach is purer: It records in the natural reverberance of St. Peter's Church in Manhattan, using custom-made vacuum-tube recording gear, a single microphone (in most cases), and no audio processing or overdubbing. The result is a spacious, natural sound you simply cannot hear in ordinary commercial recordings. (See Equipment List.)
As you can see from the track listing, we have a wide variety of artists and some new takes on some old favorites from artists such as Al Green, Fleetwood Mac, Bob Marley, Elvis Presley and U2.
The CD is in stock and shipping now. Please contact us if you want to purchase it internationally.
