About

The three cubes combine to present all 122 albums remastered in the 1990s by Mercury Living Presence’s original producer and remastering supervisor Wilma Cozart Fine. But that is not all…

Working with Wilma Cozart Fine’s son, Thomas Fine, and Andrew Walter at London’s Abbey Road Studios, we are proud to present 10 new albums, never before on CD, mixed down from the original tapes, restored and remastered.   

This has involved the application of new technology combined with delicate handling of these fragile tapes, some untouched since original release in the late 1950s, to secure the best possible sound. The results are remarkable and beyond all expectation, due in part to new processes which can eliminate the mechanical distortion, wow and flutter and smearing inherent in the recording techniques of the 1950s without destroying the original, bright, clear sound which made the label so famous.

Illustrated with contemporaneous photographs, the booklet offers an exceptional level of detail. This includes a paragraph on each and every recording, setting out the location, the dates, the tapes, the microphones, the engineer, the producer – in fact everything the collector loves to read. Clarification is also given regarding the original catalogue numbers – this is of course important in cases where two albums have been reduced down to a single CD. The history of the label in its later years is also told with refreshing insight and honesty.

The set is presented in a 53CD  box with hinged lid (as previous Mercury Presence) and original sleeves.
