BRIAN ENO – -COLLECTORS 1ST EDITION EVER IN A AUDIOPHILE DSD MASTERED CD – COLLECTORS OUT OF PRINT FOR OVER A DECADE LIMITED EDITION THIS IS A SPECIAL LISTING IS FOR THOSE LOOKING FOR RARE JAPAN ORIGINAL LABEL RELEASES ON THIS RARE SPECIAL ONE TIME OFFER. WHAT IS A JAPAN “MINI/REPLICA-LP-SLEEVE” CD? Have you ever lamented the loss of one of the 20th Century’s great art forms, the 12″ vinyl LP jacket? Then “mini-LP-sleeve” CD’s may be for you. Mini-sleeve CDs are manufactured in Japan under license. The disc is packaged inside a 135MM X 135MM cardboard precision-miniature replica of the original classic vinyl-LP album. Also, anything contained in the original LP, such as gatefolds, booklets, lyric sheets, posters, printed LP sleeves, stickers, embosses, special LP cover paper/inks/textures and/or die cuts, are precisely replicated and included. An English-language lyric sheet is always included, even if the original LP did not have printed lyrics. Then, there’s the sonic quality: Mini-sleeves have dedicated remastering (20-Bit, 24-Bit, DSD, K2/K2HD, and/or HDCD), and can often be superior to the audio on the same title anywhere else in the world. There also may be bonus tracks uvailable elsewhere. Each Japan mini-sleeve has an “obi” (“oh-bee”), a removable Japan-language promotional strip. The obi lists the Japan street date of that particular release, the catalog number, the mastering info, and often the original album’s release date. Bonus tracks are only listed on the obi, maintaining the integrity of the original LP artwork. The obi’s are collectable, and should not be discarded. All mini-sleeve releases are tremendously limited editions mainly pressed on future orders only and once released immediately out of print. This fact along with other latter features we’ve mentioned make these titles rare collectibles that sell in the collectors markets for $100’s of dollars apiece BEFORE AND AFTER SCIENCE – Detailed item info Track listing 1.

CD comes in Jpn LP Sleeve. Eno’s last glam-pop album before devoting himself entirely to ambient experimentation, BEFORE AND AFTER SCIENCE showcases two sides of Eno’s musical personality. The first half of the disc is characterized by floppy, pop-tinged romps reminiscent of his earlier albums (and heralding later Eno-piloted projects such as the Talking Heads’ SPEAKING IN TONGUES). Tunes like “Backwater” and “King’s Lead Hat” (a song whose lyrics are reputedly about the Talking Heads, the title an anagram of the band’s name) feature bouncy beats and keyboards, silly, riddle-like lyrics and Eno’s Muppet-ish vocals. The second half is considerably more subdued: the tender, airy feeling of tracks like “Julie With” and “Spider and I” indicate Eno’s softer, abstract, synthesizer-dominated direction. Taken together, the fine tracks of this disc frame two sides of Eno: the pop songster and the ambient composer. Japanese limited edition in an LP-style slipcase. The music is not ‘remastered’ but instead has been re-transferred by Simon Heyworth from the original analogue masters, as they are not technically re-EQ’d but transferred to the digital domain using the best technology currently available. Editorial reviews 4 stars out of 5 – ‘No One Receiving’ and ‘Here He Comes’ are simply great pop tunes. Mojo Special VERY RARE LIMITED EDITION E-BAY STORE .
