Miles Showell also did a Half Speed Vinyl Pressing from the Rolling Stones 'Exile On Main Street' masters. I have the Vinyl Pressing, still in wraps, have pre-ordered Sgt. Pepper and awaiting its arrival. When it gets here, I will set up my new sound system and new phonograph set up, pop open some bubbly, sit back and listen to the greatest recordings ever made in the history of Rock, in their most perfect form. I thank all those that worked on these behind the scene ventures to provide us all with the ultimate in professional recordings made directly from the real masters. Happy listening everyone!

Following a quick 5 minute word with Miles that I just had, he had the following to say about limiting on the release. The version that is on all digital media is peak limited, but far from excessively, as the brief was to allow it to still breathe and not to slam the life out of it (around 2.4 dB on most songs, some considerably less than this). Around 2/3 of the way through mastering this album, a new and slightly nicer sounding limiter was acquired and the decision was taken to replace everything that had been done to that date using the newer limiter. The limiting was done at the request of the artist, producer and mix engineer. They (Paul, Ringo, Yoko and Olivia) have all heard and approved everything and given feedback. Before it was sent to the band, Giles Martin and Sam Okell gave their input, and towards the end of the process approval copies went to Apple Corps. If any of the band or their widows or the label had an issue with the audio which Giles, Sam or Miles could not resolve, this release would not have gone ahead. It is their record and this is how they all wanted it to be presented. However, because vinyl records are a format which never quite sounds the same twice and given the near infinite choices of turntable, arm, cartridge and phono pre-amplifiers available, Miles made an executive decision to also capture the audio without limiting on a parallel stream in his workstation. This is something he regularly does on albums where he will be asked to cut vinyl masters. The logic being that full scale non-limited digital audio is already too loud to cut for an LP so why boost it further only to reduce even more? Hope this helps.

Craig Smith think about it. Will the dynamic range available in 24 bit even be necessary? The noise floor of analog tape is well above that by at least 20 dB or more so what would even be the point, except to get back the 2.5 dB sheered off occasionaly by the limiter. limiter.

@@ksteiger The Beatles' music is not very dynamic to begin with, so it could easily fit on 16 bit with no dynamic range compression at all, as could any album ever released, as no commercially available album has ever exceeded the dynamic range of a CD. The highest dynamic range I've ever heard of, which was a CD found by one of the grand old men in audio discussions, was a Beethoven recording with a dynamic range of 85 dB.

@@VintageBoxingTM Yes, the vinyl edition of this 50th Anniversay edition of "Sgt. Pepper's" doesn't have dynamic range compression. Even though many people talk about how horrendous it is, I don't think you would be able to hear the dynamic range compression at all. I've already done some experiments where I've heavily dynamically compressed several uncompressed songs with a very basic limiter, and in some cases it was just barely audible, in other cases it was inaudible, and with one specific album it was very audible, but that was also the only case. I'm planning to do a video about this soon, so you can either subscribe to my channel or I can write a comment here when it's ready (if I don't forget).

"... with no digital peak limiting ... you don't need that on vinyl." You don't f@@@ing need that on CD either! You've got 96dB of dynamic range and you *don't* need to push everything to fit in the top 10dB. And 'just obeying orders to make it loud' isn't an excuse - educate your customers if you have to, but your first priority needs to be to do a good job.

Yes, it's a complete misunderstanding of the two medias' capabilities: Vinyl has low dynamic range and CD has higher, yet the music was released on CD with less dynamic range than on the vinyl record :-/

You did a half speed master of Tori Amos Under the Pink. It sounds great but I was bummed that they screwed up two tracks somehow on the vinyl. Probably something before you got it to cut.

@@saint6563 What he means is "brickwall limited", meaning the CD version has been dynamically compressed/limited, so if you look at the waveform for one of the songs in an audio editor it looks like a brick, because all the peaks have been flattened. "For the Benefit of mr. Kite" is the most dynamically compressed, which measures DR6 with the DR Meter. I would have liked the CD to have had its full dynamic range intact, but ... It is indeed confusing that those two terms are used about two different things.

I should return it but unfortunately (and typically) I didn't buy it locally so it's awkward. Plus I suspect any other copy that shop has is likely to be from the same batch. Given the travel costs it will probably be cheaper just to pick up another copy, if I decide I really want it. I have the CD boxset anyway. The surface noise is low frequency and kind of "grind-y". I actually thought there was something wrong with my deck but everything else I tried was sounding just fine.
