Back to Vinyl-MFSL Beatles Black Box




Is there anyone else on the web that bought a copy of the Beatles Black Box Collection from Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs? ( MFSL ). If you don't know what this is, MFSL is a record company that choose the best sounding Original Master 1/2" audio tapes, played them at 1/2 speed, at the same time ran the lathe that cut the metal negative albums that would be used to stamp the vinyl positive albums that we used to play on our turntables.This would give the lathe twice the time to carve every nuance of sound from the master tapes.The vinyl used was special from Japan that you could see through if held up to a light.To make a long story short, they did this with the original master tapes from the 13 English Beatle albums and the sound was amazing.There's a web site that MFSL is running now that tells what albums besides the Beatles that were made & now they record old & new albums on gold plated CD's, again using only original 1/2" master tapes.
