３月にスティングの広島公演に友人と行くので復習中。本日はpoliceのベスト盤のSide Bです。１９７９年、１９８０年のヒット・シングル。引用はWikiPediaから。当方の入手したアナログ・レコードはオリジナルではアナログ・レコードではなくCDで、マスターからアナログ・レコードにしたものです。１８０ｇ重量盤。オーディ・テクニカ社の説明では音質の向上は微妙のようです。
重量盤
通常盤の12インチは140g程度だが、180gやそれ以上の重量がある盤のこと。通常盤に比べ厚みがあるため盤の歪みが少なく、しっかりと針が音を拾う事ができる、また重量がある分安定した回転ができる。リスニングには良いが、DJにとっては厚い分操作性が落ち、好まれないこともある。
