●Meiko Nakahara's 1982 second album, packed with songs that have garnered particular attention amid the recent global city pop revival, including "FANTASY," "Jigoro," "Go away," and "FRIDAY MAGIC," is now available on the super high-end analog record "100% Pure LP" that made a comeback last year! Bonus tracks include re-recorded versions of "TIME LIMIT" and "CITY NIGHT" from the previous album "COCONUTS HOUSE," originally released on the high-fidelity "DAM45" record at around the same time as this album.

●100% Pure LP is a special Made in Japan product that debuted in 2012 and attracted significant attention from around the world, making it a pioneer of modern high-fidelity records. One of its features is the use of "uncolored virgin vinyl," which completely eliminates coloring agents such as carbon normally used in analog records that can affect sound. By using only pure straight polyvinyl chloride as the raw material, it reliably enhances molding stability.

●Another key point is the adoption of "metal master pressing." By omitting the metal mother and stamper from the process normally required to press analog records and pressing directly from the metal master, it enables the molding of grooves with overwhelming fidelity. However, because it is less durable, the number of pressings is strictly limited.

●This release also uses 45 RPM, typically used for 12-inch singles, rather than the 33 RPM used for standard LPs. Although this means it is a two-disc set because less time can be recorded on each side, it allows for wider and longer grooves, and by rotating at high speed, it also improves stability, creating a major advantage in reproducing details and richness of volume.

●The sound source is based on the latest 96kHz/24bit WAV files newly transferred from the original analog master tapes, and it is mastered as flat as possible to preserve the freshness of the sound and the dynamic range. It pursues a natural and faithful reproduction of the original sound.

●By thoroughly pursuing the entire process from the selection of master and vinyl materials to pressing, "100% Pure LP" brings out the true value of the record to the maximum. While preserving the guts and warmth unique to analog, it delivers a literally pure and clear sound, completely free of muddiness and impurities.
