Tracklisting & More Information

Platinum SHM-CD [Super High Material CD] is the ultimate compact disc utilizing platinum in place of the aluminium to form the reflective coating in addition to the proven SHM-CD technology, which features enhanced audio quality through the use of a special polycarbonate plastic. Using a process developed by JVC and Universal Music Japan discovered through the joint companies' research into LCD display manufacturing, SHM-CDs feature improved transparency on the data side of the disc, allowing for more accurate reading of CD data by the CD player laser
head.

The label surface is printed a turquoise blue colour, this helps to absorb the unwanted pickup/stray light which is reflected by the playback machine.

Platinum SHM-CD is fully compatible with standard CD players. However, it will not play on CD players that are not compatible with CD-R (Compact Disc-Recordable) discs.

DSD flat transferred from UK original analogue master tapes by Richard Whittaker at FX Copyroom, London, in 2013. Edited in DSD by Manabu Matsumura at Universal Music Studios, Tokyo, in 2013.
