Reviews :
“Now, I can truly attest that AP’s mono and stereo UHQR (Ultra High Quality Record) releases of Axis: Bold As Love are anything but a “cash grab.” AnalogPlanet editor Michael Fremer and I compared original stereo British Track and American Reprise (“ tri-color steamboat” label) pressings, George Marino’s 2010 all-analog cut (plated and pressed at RTI, not QRP), DSD and Redbook layers of the SACD’s stereo portion, and the new stereo UHQR 200 gram vinyl pressed using the same mastering as the SACD, but of course all-analog.
MF and I agree that the SACD’s Redbook layer and the Marino master are the worst, with their respective low resolution and extremely exaggerated highs. The original British pressing is too “polite” for its own good, but the DSD and original American “steamboat” pressing both offer outstanding transparency and EQ balance.
However, AP’s UHQR mastered by Bernie Grundman towers above the rest. During our listening session, I told MF, “if someone doesn’t like this record’s sound, their listening situation is crap.” It’s everything the SACD offers and more, minus the slight digital sheen, and shockingly quieter (Yes! The vinyl produced blacker backgrounds than did the SACD, hence the "shock"—Ed). In addition, the packaging (which was sent in an unfinalized version) is stunning; the album itself is housed in a Stoughton tip-on gatefold while the outer two-piece box is of excellent build and features a beautiful wooden spine.
Fremer and I also compared the 2013 mono LP mastered by Bernie Grundman to Grundman’s new mono UHQR cut. Both were excellent, but the UHQR edged the 2013 LP with more detail, less smoothness, and slightly quieter vinyl.” Malachi Lui, Analog Planet, Dec 21, 2018
“Jimi Hendrix's second album followed up his groundbreaking debut effort with a solid collection of great tunes and great interactive playing between himself, Noel Redding, Mitch Mitchell, and the recording studio itself. Wisely retaining manager Chas Chandler to produce the album and Eddie Kramer as engineer, Hendrix stretched further musically than the first album, but even more so as a songwriter. He was still quite capable of coming up with spacy rockers like "You Got Me Floating," "Up from the Skies," and "Little Miss Lover," radio-ready to follow on the commercial heels of "Foxey Lady" and "Purple Haze." But the beautiful, wistful ballads "Little Wing," "Castles Made of Sand," "One Rainy Wish," and the title track set closer show remarkable growth and depth as a tunesmith, harnessing Curtis Mayfield soul guitar to Dylanesque lyrical imagery and Fuzz Face hyperactivity to produce yet another side to his grand psychedelic musical vision. These are tempered with Jimi's most avant-garde tracks yet, "EXP" and the proto-fusion jazz blowout of "If 6 Was 9."” AllMusic Review by Cub Koda
UHQR :
UHQR pressing is inspired from JVC Japan, which 30 years ago was the pinnacle of high-quality vinyl. Each UHQR vinyl is pressed, using hand-selected vinyl, on a manual Finebilt press with attention paid to every single detail of every single record. The 200-gram records feature the same flat profile that helped to make the original UHQR so desirable. From the lead-in groove to the run-out groove, there is no pitch to the profile, allowing your stylus to play truly perpendicular to the grooves from edge to center. Every UHQR is hand-inspected upon pressing completion, and only the truly flawless are allowed to go to market.
