Björk Re-releases Solo & The Sugarcubes Heavyweight Vinyl Albums

Leslie Cheung almost 17 years ago

After the surround sound treatment on Surrounded, and format conquering CD+DVD+vinyl single bundle, Björk will release 17 heavyweight vinyl album and 2 editions of The Sugarcubes single boxsets on June 30. The vinyl reissues are part of the One Little Indian direct metal mastering reissue series.

Using the newest technology in vinyl manufacturing - Half Speed Direct Metal Mastering. The groove is cut directly in copper metal. Transient response is greatly improved. Stampers are plated directly from the DMM Copper Master, eliminating two of the three plating steps required for lacquers. In short, DMM yields better detail resolution and a lower noise ratio. This is especially good for long play albums, or audiophile material. All albums are remastered direct from the original master tapes and pressed on 45rpm heavy weight 200g virgin vinyl audiophile discs.

The reissue titles are:
