DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The shocking album released in 1989 by THE TIMERS, a masked band led by "ZERRY," a figure strikingly similar to Kiyoshiro Imawano, is now available on super high-end analog vinyl, "100% Pure LP"! Based on the concept of "Hugo of Rock, Blues, Enka, and Jari-Tale Pop," the album features exhilarating original songs that satirize society without mincing words, often incorporating rhymes. Among them, the cover of The Monkees' "Daydream Believer," said to be a song about feelings for one's mother, stands out.
The "100% Pure LP" is a special Made in Japan product that debuted in 2012 and is a pioneer of modern high-fidelity records, attracting significant attention from around the world. One of its features is the use of "uncolored virgin vinyl," eliminating all colorants that affect sound, such as carbon, which are normally used in analog records. By using only pure straight vinyl chloride as the raw material, the stability of the molding is significantly enhanced.
Another key point is the use of "metal master pressing." By eliminating the metal mother and stamper from the process leading up to the pressing of a normal analog record, and pressing directly from a metal master, it is possible to create grooves with overwhelming fidelity. However, due to its inferior durability, the number of pressings is strictly limited.
Furthermore, this release uses 45 RPM, the same as 12-inch singles, instead of the usual 33 RPM of LPs. Although this results in a double LP set with shorter recording time on each side, it allows for wider and longer grooves, and the high rotation speed improves stability, creating a significant advantage in detail reproduction and rich volume. The audio source uses the latest 96kHz/24bit WAV files newly transferred from the original analog master tapes, and is mastered as flat as possible to avoid compromising the freshness of the sound and dynamic range. We pursue a natural sound that is faithful to the original sound.
In summary, by thoroughly pursuing every step from the selection of master and vinyl materials to pressing, we have created "100% Pure LP," which maximizes the true value of vinyl records. While retaining the guts and warmth unique to analog, it unfolds a truly pure and clear sound, completely free of muddiness and impurities.

Beautiful vinyl. Good price. Came packaged well.
Really happy with the vinyl box set. It was sent quickly, well packaged and made it to Australia unscathed 😊
Came exactly as described and in perfect condition, the best shipment service on vinyls I’ve ever had. Fast and accurate, I’ve had records ordered for almost a month with another store and these guys continually beat out all other stores for shipment. I just ordered again from them, highly recommend.
The album arrived well packaged, in impeccable condition. Love the service. Love this album!
