Murray Head's Nigel Lived 2-Disc 45 RPM Set Sweepstakes
According to the company:
Murray Head's Nigel Lived is a groundbreaking classic and one of the boldest, most daring and inventive albums of all time. Recorded by the great recording engineer Phill Brown, Nigel Lived is from the golden era of all-analog recording, a sonic and musical masterpiece that every music lover and audiophile simply must have.
Nigel Lived is an ambitious, experimental album full of great songs that required stunningly diverse recording techniques and instrumentation on every track. There are beautiful acoustic works that draw a straight line to Murray's later albums like "Ruthie" and "When You Wake Up In The Morning," there are straight-up rockers and amazingly innovative tracks like "Religion" and the sprawling "Junk."
Nigel Lived was mastered directly from recording engineer Phill Brown's 1/4" 15-ips analog tapes from 1972. Phill was gracious enough to let Intervention and CoHEARent Audio's Kevin Gray cut directly from these beautiful-sounding tapes. Intervention early on made the decision that Nigel's re-release had to be a double LP set at 45 RPM to preserve the magnificent sonics Murray, Phill and Co. put on tape and make the best-sounding Nigel possible.
Nigel's original vinyl release was very challenging to cut with side 1 at over 22 minutes and side 2 at an amazing 27 minutes of run time! There's no doubt, especially on side 2, that levels had to be dropped, and the bass had to be filtered on the original LP. Our 45 RPM cuts required no comprimises of any kind, so people today can hear Nigel at his best on his 45th birthday!

A big fan of what Intervention Records is doing with reissues.
I've already pre-ordered it from Mr. Bezos's Company-out-to-take-over-the-World-of-Retail but I would rather be able to cancel the order and do less to support that Company. So, give it to me please.
Would be heavenly if I won.
I have the original version released in '72 but it's a bit beat up now. Would love to hear a clean version on vinyl of this most remarkable album.
Wouldn't mind a copy of this myself :)
One of the great, undiscovered classics.
never heard this particular record so would love to win.
I am sure it sounds awesome, plan to purchase regardless.
I've never heard this album, but if Mike says it's great then that's good enough for me.
I'll have one. Don't mind if I do!
I would love a copy.
Jesus Christ Superstar, I would love to win this!
hopefully me! Thank you Intervention Records and Analog Planet.
Sounds amazing!
I admit I didn'tknew the record before I read Phill Brown fantastic book. I am still looking for original but this rerelease is something I don't want to miss.
