Only a ¼” EQ’d analog master tape was ever delivered to Warner Bros. by Prince – clearly a sign that was the source he ALWAYS wanted to be used in manufacturing. After 40 years, we did not want to run the risk of additional wear and tear on this iconic tape as several playbacks would be necessary in the One-Step process – so, we used an original 192kHz\/24bit file transfer, as opposed to a more recent 96kHz\/24bit update. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe listened and analyzed many different vinyl LP pressings. Most of those sounded very good, but what we accomplished was being able to surpass the sound of original 45rpm 12” pressings of the singles. Not an easy task considering the length of sides on ‘Purple Rain’… we hope you agree we did, and in the process created the best sounding version of this iconic record ever. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Prince","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46799151759529,"sku":"603497811298","price":99.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/7672\/0297\/files\/ONESTEP_PURPLERAIN.jpg?v=1771008317","url":"https:\/\/shop.warnerrecords.com\/products\/purple-rain-one-step-vinyl","provider":"Warner Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
