Sade Promise: Half-Speed Master

Sade's 1985 Second Album Promise on 180g LP. Half-Speed Mastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios with Oversight from the Band.

Sade’s second album originally released in 1985. Includes the hits “Sweetest Taboo” and “Never As Good As The First Time.”

The album was recorded at Power Plant Studios (England) and Studio Miraval (France). The vinyl audio uses high resolution digital transfers of the stereo master mixes, from the original studio recordings, remastered at half-speed at Abbey Road Studios. The elaborate, half-speed mastering process has produced exceptionally clean and detailed audio whilst remaining faithful to the band’s intended sound. No additional digital limiting was used in the mastering process, so the album benefits from the advantage of extra clarity and pure fidelity, preserving the dynamic range of the original mixes, presented on pure 180 gram heavyweight black vinyl. The original album sleeve and packaging elements have been meticulously reproduced in exact detail with authentic paper and printing methods.
