Haircut 100 – Pelican West 40 (Half-speed Master Edition)

Description

Half-speed master edition of ‘Pelican West’, Haircut 100’s much-loved 1982 debut album. In less than six months, the group moved from being London underground darlings to chart sensations, and within a year had disappeared into pop’s ether, leaving behind one memorable album and four Top 10 UK singles. This edition of the album has been newly mastered by Phil Kinrade, and expertly cut using transfers of the original half-inch digital audio tapes using precision half-speed mastering by Barry Grint at AIR Mastering. The equipment at AIR Mastering uses balanced mains power for improved performance and lower noise and the digital equipment is locked to an extremely accurate digital clock to reduce jitter. The Neumann VMS80 lathes and cutting amplifiers used have been fully renovated and modified to enable half-speed mastering.
