Half Speed Mastering

One of the HS Masters I have is Radiohead Hail To The Thief think I will spin it now, love it.

@millercarbon these Hot Stampers are they worth the $$$. ???

What label and what title is it?

Tower of Power Back to Oakland

Warner Bros...pressed by Direct Disk Labs

I beg to differ. I've been underwhelmed by a number of half speed mastered recordings. Joe Harley from Music Matters and the Blue Note Tone Poet series commented on the challenges of half speed mastering in a recent video interview...I think with Ken Micallef. 

Recently, I purchased the half speed mastered Peter Gabriel - Us, fantastic music, disappointing sound quality. The old Classic Records PG records all sound far better. Cheers,

Decca half speed mastered their classical LPs (London too). This was to avoid a resonance issue in their cutter system. Apparently it worked.

depends on many variables, mostly skill and execution. Direct Disc Labs had skill, talent and ears…..
