This UHQR is remastered by Sterling Sound's Ryan K. Smith from the original analog master tapes.
Each UHQR is pressed at Acoustic Sounds' industry-leading pressing plant Quality Record Pressings (QRP)
using hand-selected Clarity Vinyl® with attention paid to every single detail.
These records feature the same flat profile that helped to make the original UHQR so desirable.
From the lead-in groove to the run-out groove, there is no pitch to the profile,
allowing the customer's stylus to play truly perpendicular to the grooves from edge to center.
Clarity Vinyl allows for the purest possible pressing and the most visually stunning presentation.
Every UHQR is hand inspected upon pressing completion, and only the truly flawless are allowed to go to market.
Each UHQR is packaged in a deluxe box and includes a booklet detailing the entire process
of making a UHQR along with a hand-signed certificate of inspection.
In addition to the UHQR booklet, the package includes an 8-page 12" x 12" booklet containing new liner notes
by musician and Marley biographer Leroy Jodie Pierson, together with exclusive photos by Kim Gottlieb-Walker.
