VIA PRESS RELEASE | Interscope-Capitol Records today unveils the next installment in its acclaimed Definitive Sound Series (DSS), a premium audiophile limited edition of Beck’s Morning Phase, available December 12.
Widely regarded as one of Beck’s most acclaimed works, Morning Phase earned praise for its warm harmonies, expansive arrangements and cinematic scope. Produced by Beck, the album won three Grammy Awards: Album of the Year, Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical, and Best Rock Album.
Mastered by Levi Seitz at Black Belt Mastering from the original 96kHz/24-bit vinyl file created by the legendary Bob Ludwig, the AAA 180-gram high-definition vinyl LP ($99.98) was pressed at Record Technology, Inc., using the state-of-the-art One Step process, eliminating multiple stamper stages to delivering Beck’s sweeping compositions and layered production with heightened clarity and unmatched depth and clarity.
This edition marks the first DSS title presented in a heavyweight Tip On single-pocket gatefold jacket with the original photo insert, housed inside a uniquely designed slipcase. Limited to 3,000 hand-numbered copies, each DSS edition includes a certificate of authenticity detailing the mastering, plating, and pressing chain.
“The Definitive Sound Series represents the pinnacle of vinyl craftsmanship,” says Xavier Ramos, EVP D2C and eCommerce Strategy at Interscope/Capitol. “We’re proud to invest in these collectible pieces that reflect our respect for these iconic artists, their groundbreaking music, and the fans whose passion continues to keep these albums as relevant today as when they were first released.”
