Beatles/Sgt. Pepper’s Lonley Hearts Club Band Nimbus Supercut

“SGT. PEPPER’S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND”, which has long been called “The Beatles’ masterpiece” or “a masterpiece representing the 60s,” has become popular since the beginning of the 21st century, along with “REVOLVER” and the White Album. I can’t deny the feeling that they are being pushed by “THE BEATLES”. However, it is still a masterpiece full of charm that they created by stopping their concert activities and immersing themselves in recording, and that is why enthusiasts have continued to explore to listen to it with the highest possible sound quality. Previously, if you want to listen to “SGT. PEPPER’S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND” (hereinafter referred to as “Sargent”) in high quality! Mobile Fidelity’s Ultra Box has been touted, but in the past 10 years, major changes have occurred. First of all, the German Gold Parlophone (hence the nickname “Gold Paro”), which has high sound quality and is relatively easy to obtain, has become a “start with this” item, and is a high-class item for advanced players. Nimbus’s “Sergeant”. The reason why this mega-rare version of “Sargent” LP was created is that in 1984, British audio magazines “PRACTICAL HI-FI” and “HI-FI TODAY” planned to release the masterpiece using the highest technology at the time. To promote this, Nimbus Records, a small but highly skilled label, made full use of its unique technology called “Supercut” and high-quality vinyl to create high-quality pressings, limited to 1,000 copies (as an added bonus for readers). It was released via mail order only). One of them was “Sgt.” In this way, it was a rare item from the beginning, and the year it was released in 1984 was the time when Mobile Fidelity’s Beatles LPs were starting to be popular, and it was a limited release. At the time, Nimbus Press received little attention. In fact, it was more than 20 years after its release that Nimbus’ “Sargent” began to attract attention. Records that don’t attract much attention when released tend to increase in value over time, and Nimbus Press is a typical example of this. Unfortunately, as soon as it became known that not only were there only a small number of copies pressed, but also that they had produced a record of “Sgt.” with unprecedented sound quality, Nimbus Press’s popularity skyrocketed and prices skyrocketed. . There are now more than 800 WANT users on Discogs, and at the time of writing this, the price in Japan is as low as 250,000 yen (at one point it was as high as 300,000 yen), making it a very easy-to-handle item. do not have. Due to the rise of these items, the Beatles’ Mobile Fidelity records are no longer as popular as they used to be, and this is largely due to the fact that although the sound quality is certainly high, it lacks rawness and tends to be overly organized. In fact, the popularity of UK originals and Nimbus continues to rise. Nimbus Press is certainly a mega-rare existence. However, if you can listen to “Sgt.” with the best sound quality, it is natural that everyone will want to try it. However, it is not easy to obtain…This groundbreaking release will lower the appetite of such enthusiasts. This Nimbus Press disc in super mint condition was provided to us by an overseas enthusiast, and we performed the transfer with the utmost care. First of all, we recorded the discs in carefully selected conditions, so we were able to create an extremely clean CD before any unnecessary noise removal work, and you may be speechless at how ultra-clean it is without a single speck of dust. not. Nimbus Press, the holy grail of this divine transfer sealed in a CD…it’s an incredibly wonderful sound. The sound is so different from the 2009 remaster that you can tell at first listen. If they restore old paintings and bring back the luster of yesteryear, then Nimbus is a painting that has just been painted. Or, if remastering is “organized and beautiful sound”, then Nimbus is “realistic and vivid sound”. Unlike “ABBEY ROAD,” which had evolved greatly from the original recording technology, “Sergeant” was an album created by cramming as much sound as possible into four tracks. Therefore, the sound tends to become muddy due to differences in pressing and remastering. In that respect, Nimbus is natural, yet has a clearness and spacious sound that will make you feel like your eyes are wide open. This overwhelming sound resolution easily surpasses that of Mobile’s Ultra Box. For example, on songs such as “Getting Better,” each instrument sounds very natural, and the sound can be heard from every corner. In that respect, the remastered version is organized and easy to listen to, but it doesn’t have the freshness and clarity of Nimbus. Indeed, since such a high-quality “Sargent” was released in a limited edition, it is no wonder that it is popular. What I’m saying is, even if you were lucky enough to get the original Nimbus Press LP, you wouldn’t be able to appreciate it as clearly as the version contained on this CD. Although it was a much more modern release than the original UK release, it is still nearly 30 years old. Under such circumstances, it is extremely difficult to obtain a Nimbus Press that can be played in extremely clean conditions. For example, when playing a delicate and quiet song like “Within You Without You,” scratch noise is inevitable. However, with this God transfer, there is no such noise at all, and you can clearly hear George’s count in the song. Also, there is no deterioration of the circumference at the end of each side. In addition, for this release, we have added the loop of “Inner Groove”, which was not included on Nimbus, from the UK original LP to make sure that the content is perfect. The ultimate CD version where you can easily enjoy the mega-rare Nimbus Press “Sargent” in extremely clean condition. 1984, for readers of the British audio magazines “Practical Hi-Fi” and “Hi-Fi Today” This is a direct transfer from the ultra-rare UK edition “Nimbus Supercut”, of which only about 1000 copies were released via mail order. The Nimbus Supercut disc is legendary among audiophiles as a high-quality disc that surpasses Mobile Fidelity. Digitized from an LP in excellent condition owned by an overseas enthusiast.
