Nimbus Supercut LPs were
released as a mail order only promotion to Practical Hi-Fi
and Hi-Fi today magazine readers during the early 1980s.
All Nimbus Supercut releases were available in limited
quantities of around 1000 pressings per title, and as
such, many are rarely seen for sale and are arguably rarer
than releases from Mobile Fidelity, Nautilus, DCC, etc.
Nimbus established the need for high quality vinyl
pressings at a time when most mainstream vinyl which was
haphazardly mastered and pressed on poor quality recycled
vinyl.
In contrast, Nimbus Supercut releases were mastered from
the the original master tapes, through an all valve
mastering process, using no limiting, to result in a high
quality pressing which was as close as possible in sound
to the original recording. Nimbus also had ICI produce an
extremely pure vinyl for this release, which has
exceptional frequency reproduction and is virtually noise
free.
