Made on Analogic 16-Bit ADC with Three-Bit Sync Pattern and Even Parity to Form 20-Bit Word: Audiophile 180g Vinyl LP of 1812 Overture Cut on Stan Ricker's Equipment, Pressed at Optimal in Germany

Craft Recordings honors the legacy of Telarc Records by re-releasing four of its most famous titles in their long and storied catalog on vinyl LP for the first time in over thirty-five years. These Telarc LPs were made on an Analogic MP8016 16-bit Analog to Digital convertor with a three-bit sync pattern and an even-parity bit added to form a 20-bit word. Cut by Eric Boulanger on Stan Ricker's (who cut the original master) equipment, purchased from Ricker's estate after his passing. Pressed by Optimal in Germany to ensure audiophile quality. Hear these famous performances with intense dynamics intact.

Featuring the superb musical performance by the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, the use of original 19th century cannon (for true authenticity), and Telarc's amazing sound quality Erich Kunzel's 1812 Overture quickly became a musical sensation, one of the most in-demand demonstration discs ever recorded, as well as a highly sought-after collector's item. The original pressing went on to become the highest selling album in Telarc history, moving over 800,000 copies since its original vinyl release in 1981. The dynamic range of this recording presented challenges to Boulanger in keeping the sound as fully dynamic as the original while keeping the sound as close to the original as possible.
