Dr. Dre The Chronic: Definitive Sound Series One-Step

Dr. Dre's The Chronic on One-Step 180g 2LP: Definitive Sound Series Edition Limited to 3,000 Numbered Copies, Sourced from the Original Analog Master Tapes, Mastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering, and Pressed at R.T.I.

The Definitive Sound Series (DSS) One-Step process creates the definitive sounding audiophile version of all-time classic albums. Dr. Dre's The Chronic was mastered from the original analog master tapes to ensure The Chronic has never sounded better.

This DSS version is limited to a one-time pressing of 3,000 numbered copies, includes a top-quality heavyweight tip on double gatefold jacket for the first time, and is housed inside a unique slipcase.

Special care has been taken to faithfully preserve the original sound with exceptional clarity and depth, capturing the recordings nuances at every step, in order to create the definitive sounding record.

When originally released back in 1992 The Chronic was a single LP with long sides. It was a gift that vinyl even existed for the original release - CDs ruled the day. By 2001 this landmark recording was split across 4 sides which allowed for a more authentic audio listening experience to what Dr. Dre had created.

Now we have The Chronic One-Step release which takes Dr. Dre’s production to a whole new listening level. The original analog master tapes were completely sequenced and in great shape - ready to cut! Of course we used Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering where every version of The Chronic had been mastered, to put the magic of the tapes onto the Definitive Sound Series One Step.
