In The Nursery
Crate Digger's Guide
- Studio Medium:
- In The Nursery primarily used digital audio workstations along with analog synthesizers during their peak recording era.
- Pressing Plants:
- Core records were mainly pressed at facilities like MPO and Damont.
- Lacquer Cut:
- Their compositions often include low-frequency content which can impact inner-groove tracking, requiring precise cutting techniques for optimal playback.
- Matrix Runout:
- Look for etchings such as 'ITN' or unique codes indicating the pressing plant for authentic first pressings.
Vinyl Collector Intelligence
- Grail Pressing:
- Securing an authentic 1988 first pressing on the Third Mind imprint remains the ultimate pursuit for anyone hunting down In The Nursery on wax.
- Best Reissue:
- Recent deluxe Mute Records catalog remasters successfully preserve the depth of the original In The Nursery audio master tapes.
- Mastering & Translation:
- The dense multitrack vocal harmonies and electronic sub-bass frequencies characteristic of In The Nursery's production demand a stable microlinear stylus to prevent high-frequency sibilance.
- Shelf Alternatives:
- Collectors tracking this era typically search out companion pressings from Front 242 (Wax Trax!) alongside Cabaret Voltaire (Virgin).
