We were delighted when Universal approached us about pressing the latest Paul Kelly album, Fever Longing Still on bio-vinyl compound.
This project is part of Universal's commitment to a cleaner future
There has been a significant push within the manufacturing industry to develop more sustainable and environmentally friendly compounds for making records.
This compound we have used for this pressing, reduces the Co2 output of vinyl record compound by 92.5% compared to the standard available compound on the market. This is achieved by improvements in the manufacturing processes for compounds which reduce energy and water usage, new stabilisers that do not use metals of any kind, bio based lubricants, and the replacing of some fossil fuel raw materials with bio based materials in the base compound.
There is no impact to production, visually the records look as beautiful as ever and most importantly, there is no discernible difference to audio quality on this gorgeous record.
Here's what you need to know about the album and you can buy it here
The fire of love. The pain of love. Love of family. Love entwined in memory and place.
Love has always been at the heart of many of Paul Kelly’s greatest songs. "To Her Door", "How to Make Gravy", "Careless", "If I Could Start Today Again", "Deeper Water", "When I First Met Your Ma", "Sweet Guy", "Dumb Things", "Firewood and Candles", "The Oldest Story in the Book."
All with a different angle on that most boundless subject of them all.
Kelly’s latest album, Fever Longing Still, his first of new original material since 2018’s Nature, delivers 12 additions to that superb catalogue of love songs spanning more than 40 years.
The album’s title comes from a line in Sonnet 147 by Shakespeare, whose writing has thrilled and inspired Kelly ever since schooldays.
