TUBBY HAYES – 11 ORIGINAL TEST PRESSINGS (THE FONTANA ALBUMS 1961-69 RE-MASTERS, 2019)

The 11 white label test pressings of the re-mastered Fontana Albums, re-mastered from the original tape masters and released in 2019.

Mastering Notes: The recordings have been lovingly remastered at Gearbox Records’ Studios, London, directly from the original tapes, using a Studer C37 ¼-inch stereo tape machine. They were then equalised through an all-valve mastering desk built bespoke for Decca studios in the late 1950s, Vintage Lang Pultec EQ, Prism Maselec EQ and Telefunken U73b valve limiters from 1959. The LP lacquers were cut on a beautifully restored Haeco Scully Lathe from 1967 with Westrex (Western Electric) head and cutting amps: the same go-to lathe that Rudy Van Gelder used

LP1: Tubbs (1961)

LP2: Equation In Rhythm / Palladium Jazz Date (A side: Southern Suite Pts. 1 & 2, B side: Tubby Hayes’ Palladium Jazz Date tracks) (1961 & 1962).
