 BBR Space Light Color Vol. 1 • 45rpm Reference Grade Test Pressing Edition – First Galvanic Growth (20 Copies)

This limited edition features the 20 official Test Pressings obtained from the First Galvanic Growth. These are the very first copies ever pressed: produced when the galvanic masters are at the peak of their integrity, they ensure unparalleled groove freshness. Compared to the standard run, these Test Pressings offer the most faithful and dynamic version of the original recording, captured before the natural production wear can alter even the slightest micro-definition.

Sustainability and Performance: 140g Bio VinylThe chosen medium is 140g Bio Vinyl, pressed at Optimal. This solution combines environmental consciousness with an extremely quiet and dense compound, essential for a Reference-class listening experience.

Why 140 grams? The choice of precision.In a Reference Grade production, every detail must serve the sonic performance. The choice of the 140g format is not a compromise, but a precise technical decision linked to Optimal’s pressing quality:

  • Thermal Stability: A 140g disc cools more uniformly and rapidly than a 180g one. This process allows the Bio Vinyl compound to stabilize perfectly, eliminating the risk of material micro-shrinkage that causes surface noise.
  • Groove Geometry: The 140g weight ensures optimal planarity. A perfectly flat surface allows the stylus to track the groove with maximum linearity, drastically reducing mechanical distortion.
  • Transient Response: Thanks to the density achieved with 140g pressing, the vinyl delivers a faster and more precise response, fundamental for capturing the dynamic details of our full-analog mastering.

Technology and FormatThe 45rpm format ensures maximum dynamic range and spatial resolution free from saturation. The first-stage galvanic process allowed every detail of the analog mastering to be transferred onto vinyl, eliminating the duplication steps that typically increase floor noise.

Packaging and Exclusive ContentsThe edition is presented in a prestigious luxury box made of Cialux® cloth, a premium material that guarantees perfect preservation and a superior tactile aesthetic. Every detail of the packaging is designed to reflect the technical value of the content, which includes:

  • Numbered Certificate of Authenticity, guaranteeing its status as one of the 20 Test Pressing copies.
  • 16-page Booklet with unreleased content on the genesis of the work.
  • Technical Notes signed by Producer and Recording Engineer Massimo Piantini and Mastering Engineer Lorenzo Vella, featuring an in-depth analysis of the analog chain and the dynamic advantages of the 45rpm transfer.

  • Matrix: First Galvanic Growth.
  • Medium: 140g Bio Vinyl – Pressed by Optimal.

Space Light Color Vol. 1 - Vinyl (BBR & BlueMoon Records Edition)

A masterpiece embodying the art of sound, born from rigorous standards and ultimate fidelity. This album represents the pinnacle of a solid synergy between Bird Box Records (BBR), a beacon of pure analog sound, and BlueMoon Records by Bruno Fazzini and Massimo Piantini.

With over forty years of combined experience, these two entities share a singular vision: "to capture and recreate sound with the fidelity and raw emotion of a live performance."

Space Light Color Vol. 1 does not feature unreleased tracks; instead, it taps into the heart of our collective musical memory, offering new and intimate interpretations of iconic songs. This album is a journey through hits spanning from Jazz to Pop-Rock:

  • Side A: Features tracks that resonate with history, such as the energetic "Tequila", the intense "Killing Me Softly with His Song", and the famous "From the Beginning" (popularized by Emerson, Lake & Palmer). It also includes the captivating "Georgy Porgy".
  • Side B: Continues with classics like "Black Queen", the evergreen "On Broadway", and the romantic standard "My Funny Valentine", concluding with the jazz tribute to Charles Mingus, "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat".

Each piece is presented through the unique lens of the Acoustic Workshop, transforming well-known songs into fresh sonic experiences, rich in environmental realism and analog dynamics.

A Sonic Experience of Maximum Dynamics and Realism:

  • The Venue: The album captures the essence of a historic performance recorded in a unique and atmospheric setting: the Il Cassero Museum in Monte San Savino.
  • Environmental Realism: Thanks to meticulous recording and post-processing, the record offers a stunning sense of environmental realism, allowing the listener to perceive the spatiality and acoustics of the recording location.
  • High-Fidelity Mastering: The original 2002 recording was recovered and optimized for vinyl through a meticulous analog mastering process on 1/2-inch tape, curated at Nightingale Studios.
  • The Process: This workflow ensures exceptional dynamics, allowing the vinyl to maintain the original impact and depth while enhancing the full dynamic range of the music as captured on the master tape.
  • Audiophile Equipment: To guarantee maximum signal integrity and purity, legendary audiophile equipment was used, including the iconic Ampex ATR102 reel-to-reel recorder and high-end tube and solid-state mastering outboard gear.

An essential work for the audiophile seeking the unaltered emotion of a live performance and the absolute purity of analog sound.

      Capolavoro

      Sono tra i fortunati possessori di uno dei 20 test pressing. L’ho acquistato perché incuriosito dalle parole di Lorenzo in fiera che spiegava tutti i processi di realizzazione di questa magnifica opera. Che dire sono rimasto a bocca aperta. La spazialità, la profondità, la precisione, la dinamica il dettaglio dei piani sonori ti immergono in una vera e propria esperienza. La cura del packaging inoltre è la vera e propria ciliegina sulla torta. Felice di averlo nel mio scaffale dei vinili importanti.
