Bryan Ferry

Comes from 'UK' 7" vinyl

Extended Play - Metal Mother Positive

BRYAN FERRY Extended Play (Incredibly rare original 1976 Metal Mother Positive for side one of the vinyl EP. These were the master moulds from which the negative stampers were created to press the vinyl & are a nickel alloy first generation positive taken from the first negative metal master peeled off of the original soft lacquer cut. What does all this technospeak mean ? Well, a stamper is a negative image & not playable, this is a POSITIVE image & IS playable. Instead of vinyl, this is a nickel alloy layer electroplated on to a brass 'blank' & is the first playable stage after the original master tape & soft lacquer. From these were made the stampers to press the vinyl. Needless to say, these are extremely rare as normally only up to four are made & they seldom leave the record plant library to hit the open market IEP1)

More Info on the vinyl record manufacturing process :-

The manufacturing process starts with the lacquer disc created in the cutting room. This is too delicate even to play without damage and needs toughening up.

So the lacquer disc is coated with silver, which makes it conductive for the next process, which is electroplating with nickel. The nickel is then separated from the lacquer, giving a disc with ridges where the grooves would normally be - a 'negative' copy. Even though it is made of metal, it is too delicate to use to make pressings. This disc is known as the 'master' and there is only one.

The next stage is the 'mother'. This is made from the master by a similar process of electroplating. It is feasible to create up to around four mothers, but for the highest quality recordings this is restricted to two. The mother has grooves once again and is playable.

From the mother, 'stampers' are produced - up to six from each mother. Once again these are negatives, and are given a smooth chromium surface.

The stampers, two per record, are placed in presses and heated with steam before clamping down onto a cake of vinyl raw material. The result is a 'pressing' which after trimming and packaging is the record that is sold in the shops or played on the DJ's turntable.
