Dear Analog Tape Enthusiast:
Coming October 1st from Opus 3 Records is the "One" Sampler Vol. VI Analog Tape. The 6th (and last) Analog Sampler Tape in this series from Opus 3 Records features 7 tracks from the coveted Tape Vault of Opus 3 Records.
Besides being a Showcase for what Opus 3 Records recorded strictly analogue, these Sampler Tapes have also proven to be a great demo-tape for HiFi shops, who really wants to show their customers how good Hi Fidelity can be!! During the analogue years, Opus 3 recorded 51 albums - so there was a lot more to choose from!
"One" Open Reel Selection of Opus 3 Analogue Recordings, Vol. VI
Retail Price: $250.00 USD
This Master Copy includes music from Eric Bibb, Lars Erik Larsson, Tomas Ornberg's Blue Five and many more artists round out this last Sampler Tape from Opus 3 Records.
Opus 3 Records Offers Analogue Copies from their original Analogue Masters. Over many years they have from time to time been asked if they can offer Analogue Tape Copies. At the end of 2011 they decided to start offering Analogue Tape Copies and their first copies were sold in Sweden and the response was overwhelming!
Opus 3 Records recorded analogue longer than most Audiophile Labels, and it was not until SACD was launched in year 2000, that they started to record digital. Their last analogue recording was Eric Bibb, "Just Like Love", SACD 22002. All in all, they have 50 albums recorded analogue!
When Opus 3 Records creates an Analogue Tape Copy, it is always a One to One Copy where for example no analogue sub-master is in between - they want to make it as good as possible, with no added distortion, noise and wow and flutter etc.
The drawback to this process is that it takes a lot of time, because all the tracks have to be copied one by one which is the reason why their Analogue Tape prices might be a little higher than other companies. Because of the way they do this, they will also have to limit the number of Analogue Tape Copies created per release to a maximum of 50 pieces. The upside to this process is that you are guaranteed to have the best sounding Analogue Tape Copy!
See attached document for the full list of songs included on "One" Open Reel selection of Opus 3 Analogue recordings - Vol VI. If you have any questions about this new title or need any additional information please don't hesitate to contact me.
Thanks for your interest and support!
Good listening!

Showcase 6
1. East of the Sun( Brooks - Bowman)
From: Lars Erstrand Quartet, feat. Kjell Öhman, ”Dream Dancing”5´09
CD 9101
”Erstrand´s always unhesitating, fluent playing gives the unfailing impression of a musician in total control. He can depict the most ethereal moods, as in the title piece, Dream Dancing.... An obvious candidate for Recording of the year!” (Audio Video)
We are fortunate to have Kjell Öhman on piano, who very sadly left us late last year....
2. Nobody´s Blues But Mine (C. Williams))
From: ”Tomas Örnberg´s BLUE FIVE and friends, CD 191024´53
”This is the most consistently satisfying CD album of the 1920´s small band jazz by a contemporary band this writer has heard in years! This collection of performances contains a winning combination of hot group ensembles and individual solo work.
Highly recomended!” (Mississippi Rag)
3. Going Home (Trad. Arr. By Eric Bibb)
From: Eric Bibb, ”Rainbow People”, SACD 77234´43
”For all of you who have been following my music, “Rainbow People” will give you an idea of how far I’ve come on my musical journey. For me, musical ideas are like children; for those of you who are hearing me for the first time, you might want to have a listen to some of my recent work to hear how the children of the ”Rainbow People” have grown.”
Eric Bibb, 2009
Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy (1809-1847)
4. Allegro di molto (Excerpt) – ”Lieder ohne worte”.
From: Stockholm Guitar Quartet, (Medelssohn-Brahms-Debussy)1´59
CD 9001
”In this recording the Stockholm Guitar Quartet presents an entirely new family of instruments which they themselves have played a part in developing together with Lars Jönson, today one of Sweden´s foremost guitar makers. The sound is convincing in every way! In the music of Brahms and Mendelssohn, the group evokes moods which, I am convinced are very hard to create on the piano”Rating: First class” (Gitarre und Laute)
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791)
5. Allegro (Excerpt) – ”Clarinet Quintet in A-major, K.V. 581”
From: Kjell Fagéus (Basset Clarinet) & Zetterqvist Quartet, CD 193014´06
”Kjell Fagéus is one of Sweden´s most sensitive and perceptive clarenettists. He has already shown as much in previous recordings, and this time he has addressed the very finest chamber works in the history of music!”
(HiFi & Musik)
Lars Erik Larsson (1908-1986)
6. Ballad: Moderato, - ”Concertino for double bass and orchestra.”4´46
From: Thorvald Fredin & The Oskarshamn Ensemble, SACD 8522
Conductor: Jan-Olav Wedin
In this highly unusual recording, featuring the double bass as solo instrumnet, we hear music by the Italian Giovanni Bottesini and two Swedish composers – Erland von Koch and Lars Erik Larsson.
7. Dr. Jazz (W. Melrose - King Oliver)5´01
From: ”Kustbandet Live in Stockholm”
(only available on MasterCopy or DSD128)
In April 1975, a year and a half before Opus 3 Records was founded, we had the pleasure of making a live recording of Kustbandet. It was a really swinging event and as the well known character from the era Fats Waller put it….”The joint was jumpin”.
