Analogue Productions presents it's first UHQR title - Jimi Hendrix's 1967 masterpiece, Axis Bold As Love, now as a 45 RPM edition, in both stereo and mono versions. This UHQR is newly remastered by noted mastering engineer Bernie Grundman from the original analog master tapes. Each UHQR will be pressed at Acoustic Sounds' industry-leading pressing plant Quality Record Pressings (QRP) using hand-selected Clarity Vinyl, with attention paid to every single detail of every single record. The 200-gram records will feature the same flat profile that helped to make the original UHQR so desirable.

Each UHQR will be packaged in a deluxe clamshell box and will include a booklet detailing the entire process of making a UHQR along with a hand-signed certificate of inspection.
