What follows was that the band searched for the original master tapes, recorded in England in 1982, which Tamás Barabás, a sound engineer internationally renowned for Djabe recordings, used to create a new master worthy for audiophile release. Cutting the master lacquer and pressing were done by the Record Industry, the best such factory in Europe.
After listening to the test records, based on the unanimous opinion of several fans, this is the best sounding version of all the releases. But that’s for those to decide who buys the 180-gram solid red record that harmonizes with the cover.
The publisher also went back to the roots to print the cover and reproduced the original design in excellent quality by re-photographing the original artwork.
The vinyl record is of special value, as only 1,000 individually numbered copies are made of it.
