Keane Go Analogue For Legendary United Record Pressing In Nashville
Friday, 17 August 2012
Written by Jon Stickler
Keane are proud to announce their forthcoming release ‘Upstairs At United - Vol. 5’, a special edition 4-track vinyl recorded in analogue for Nashville based label 453 Music, a division of United Record Pressing and available through www.keanemusic.com and www.urpressing.com from 18th September.
The band performed a stripped-down version of four catalogue songs for an exclusive ‘Upstairs At United’ series of all-analogue recordings in one take straight to tape, inside the historic United Record Pressing plant in Nashville, Tennessee.
All recordings are captured directly to analogue tape under the leadership of mastering engineer Chris Mara of analogue recording studio Welcome to 1979, then cut to 12” EP’s at 45 RPM.
The vinyl, presented in a Kraft-style packaging that highlights the authentic approach used in making these records, include session specific inserts with colour photos from the recording session, and come in archival quality re-sealable poly bags.
