It is with great enthusiasm, honor, and a sense of responsibility that we share this exciting news: starting in the summer of 2027 (though we are working to begin earlier) and continuing through 2028, we will release a series of 10 RCA Living Stereo titles, plus one box set.
Having gained access to the entire RCA Living Stereo catalog, we selected these 11 titles based on sound quality, performance, and their popularity among enthusiasts. Many of these have already seen various releases on both 45rpm vinyl and tape; however, none have been produced using the 1-Step process—and the meticulous care we put into our editions is becoming well-known among audiophiles.
The release schedule for the titles will be announced progressively, and pre-orders will open soon.
However, you can pre-order the entire series right now; doing so guarantees you the same serial number for every release, starting from number #20.
Each 1Step 45rpm record will be a strictly limited edition. UHQCD production runs will start at 500 copies. As always, the tapes will be recorded onto RTM SM900 tape and duplicated in our usual 1 to 1 process (Otari MRT15-MTR15).
