NORAH JONES Come Away With Me (2009 US exclusive limited edition 14-track 4-LP set pressed on SINGLE-SIDED 45-RPM Clarity CLEAR Vinyl SVP-II 200gram VIRGIN VINYL – Norah’s 2002 debut longplayer gets the ultimate audiophile treatment, and here’s how: Clarity Vinyl represents the ultimate in vinyl formulations because it is comprised of over 90% of the highest quality co-polymer available – a key component in vinyl pellets used for manufacturing vinyl records. Further,Clarity Vinyl has no carbon black additive, common in vinyl formulas for LPs. Carbon Black contains trace metals that become magnetized and cause electrical distortions in cartridges during playback that smear the sound. By taking out the Carbon Black, Classic Records is able to dramatically reduce the distortion and thus bring more clarity to the playback process, providing a more realistic musical experience to the listener and LP enthusiast. Amazingly, this superbly presented deluxe item in stickered 13″ x 13″ box with card belly band is still sealed fifteen years on!.
