Various
Crate Digger's Guide
- Studio Medium:
- Various artists utilized analog multi-track magnetic tape during the peak recording eras of the 1960s to 1980s.
- Pressing Plants:
- Core records were primarily pressed at facilities like RCA, Columbia, and United Record Pressing.
- Lacquer Cut:
- Frequency ranges in blues and jazz affect inner-groove tracking, requiring careful balancing to prevent distortion in the lacquer cut.
- Matrix Runout:
- Collectors seek matrix runout codes like 'A/B' or etchings from notable engineers to verify authentic 1st pressings.
Vinyl Collector Intelligence
- Grail Pressing:
- Columbia's historic 1967 production run represents the rarest and most sonically complete physical master in the Various discography.
- Best Reissue:
- The modern 2020 colored vinyl reissues from Craft Recordings offer a sonically faithful pressing for Various listeners.
- Mastering & Translation:
- The dense multitrack vocal harmonies and electronic sub-bass frequencies characteristic of Various's production demand a stable microlinear stylus to prevent high-frequency sibilance.
- Shelf Alternatives:
- Your physical shelf space will pair seamlessly with classic releases from B.B. King on ABC-Paramount or Muddy Waters on Chess.
