Petty, Tom - Wildflowers

One-Step vinyl is the ultimate vinyl pressing. Because Sound Matters' meticulous One-Step process creates the definitive sounding audiophile version of the all-time classic Tom Petty album, ‘Wildflowers’. The original analog master tapes have been used to ensure ‘Wildflowers’ has never sounded better! The initial pressing of this One-Step version is limited to 6,000 copies. The album is housed inside a top quality, uniquely designed numbered slipcase. The enclosed LP will feature an “Old Style” double pocket gatefold tip-on jacket for the first time. Special care has been taken to faithfully preserve the original sound with exceptional clarity and depth, capturing the recording's nuances and subtleties at every step to create the best sounding record possible. The One-Step process is highly regarded among audiophiles and collectors for its unparalleled sound fidelity and represents the pinnacle of vinyl manufacturing craftsmanship. 
 
Notes For This Release: ‘Wildflowers’ was originally recorded, mixed and mastered on analog tape, so this One-Step version is a true All Analog presentation as Chris Bellman carefully cut 7 lacquers from the original master tapes as the source for this incredible sounding release! Tom’s audio archivist Ryan Ulyate was involved at every step and provided invaluable information and research along the way – including keeping a close eye on the master tapes as lacquer after lacquer was cut.

‘Wildflowers’ original album package designer, Jeri Heiden was brought in to create the beautiful double gatefold jacket. We listened to and analyzed many different vinyl pressings, CDs and Hi Rez audio to be certain the magic coming off the tapes would transcend every other pressing – all of which sound great. We hope you agree that we accomplished the goal of creating the best sounding version of ‘Wildflowers’ ever.
