Eschewing the crystalline sterility of digital recordings of the time, Anderson's sound is always warm, natural, and lacking unforced \"hype.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLike Anderson, Impex aims to present great recordings that are as natural as possible. And we couldn't wait to put our favorite Patricia Barber release, using Jim's analog mix-down master tapes, on 180 grams of VR900 Super Vinyl. The deep, inky black backgrounds and absence of surface noise will pull listeners right into those three evenings in 1999, capturing a seminal modern jazz artist at a creative and professional peak and reveling in a perfectly rendered and joyous audio time capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFinally, our deluxe Impex Treatment packages the whole party with a lovely outer slipcase, a booklet containing a new note from Patricia, and a dazzling array of photographs from the evenings by frequent Barber collaborator Valerie Booth, exclusive to our 1STEP. Heavy paper stock with spot gloss coating and a faithfully recreated exterior design will satisfy original fans and aesthetes throughout the music-loving world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe 1STEP Process:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Impex 1STEP process relies on short, tightly-controlled runs that require a new lacquer after each 500 pressings. This unforgiving format has the lacquer skipping the regular father-mother process, going right to a single convert and then pressing. Though this dramatically increases mastering and production costs, it also assures each run is more consistent from disc to disc, with less noise, clearer details and deeper bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReducing production complexity to just a single \"convert\" disc between the lacquer and the press greatly improves groove integrity, diminishes non-fill anomalies and increases signal integrity from the master tape to your system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"features\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNew, deluxe edition of Patricia Barber's famed live recordings at The Green Mill in Chicago in 1999\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMastered from the analog mix-down tapes (of the original digital recording) by Bernie Grundman at Bernie Grundman Mastering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTwo 45-rpm 1STEP LPs pressed on VR900 super vinyl by RTI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNew lacquers cut after each run of 500 pressings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDistinctive ultra-luxe Impex 1STEP packaging featuring a deluxe 16-page booklet with exclusive concert photography by Valerie Booth, a remembrance from Patricia Barber, a heavy-stock three-sleeve Monster Pack jacket and striking color-matched slipcase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStrictly limited to 5,000 copies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"musicians\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMusicians\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cth data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePatricia Barber\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003epiano, vocals, Hammond B-3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cth data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMichael Arnopol\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ebass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cth data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJohn McLean\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eguitar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cth data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEric Montzka\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003edrums\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cth data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRuben P.
