180g 45rpm 2LP Pressing of Audiophile Favorite’s First Album Since 2007: Mastered from the 1/4 Inch 30 ips Original Stereo Master Tapes by Bernie Grundman
Jacintha’s first new album since 2007 features a sublime selection of hits from the James Taylor catalog including: “You’ve Got A Friend,” “Sweet Baby James,” “Walking Man,” “Fire & Rain,” “Shower The People” and several other popular choices. Jacintha’s inaugural popular vocal album represents a striking change of pace for the Singaporean audiophile favorite, albeit with the same stunning results.
And to top if off several of the best LA-based musicians associated with James Taylor during his accomplished career appear on the album: Lee Sklar (bass), Russ Kunkel (drums), Jim Cox (keyboards & currently touring with JT), and Dean Parks (acoustic guitar & currently touring with JT). All of the material was arranged by Tim Pierce (Vanessa Fernandez’s Use Me and When The Levee Breaks) who also plays acoustic guitar on several tracks.
The entire album was recorded 100% pure analogue at The Henson Studios in Hollywood, formerly know as A&M. It was tracked to 2 inch multi-track analogue tape running at 30 ips and mixed down to 1/4 inch tape also running at 30 ips. All of the tracking and mixing was done at Sunset Sound by recording engineer/co-producer Michael C. Ross. The results were mastered by Bernie Grundman at Bernie Grundman Mastering using the 1/4 inch 30 ips master.
