| COMMENTS | (Adapted from the CollectorsFrenzy sales description) Nimbus Supercut LPs were offered exclusively by mail order to readers of Practical Hi-Fi and Hi-Fi Today during the early 1980s. Production quantities are generally reported to have been around 1,000 copies per title. Keeping production runs small may have helped maintain pressing quality by limiting the effects of stamper wear; this explanation remains an inference rather than a confirmed Nimbus policy. The linked sales description discusses the mastering of the Supercut series and cites Joan Armatrading as an example of bass information retaining its original stereo placement. This is a series-level example and does not establish the specific mastering settings used for this Sgt. Pepper edition. The same sales description reports that Nimbus used a special vinyl compound supplied by ICI. Claims about its composition and performance are attributed to that source. The series is now sought after by collectors. The August 1984 issue of Hi-Fi Today offered this album as PHF 27. If the release schedule seen in advertisements for other issues continued, the issue probably went on sale around 21st July 1984. Allowing for ordering, processing, and delivery, copies may have reached readers from around mid-August through September 1984; the exact delivery dates remain unconfirmed. Further information on the series and its chronology is available in the Nimbus Supercut analysis page. |
