From the half-sheet insert card:
"Dear Listener:
This vinyl copy of Downward Is Heavenward was created from 1/2" analog masters that were sequenced and edited using a razor blade and splicing tape. The mastering process utilized only analog technology, with the lacquer for each side cut directly from analog masters. At no time were the stereo masters digitized.
This is not the cheapest, fastest, or easiest way to make a vinyl LP, but it's a process that I enjoy and one that provides its own special set of rewards. I hope that you enjoy the resulting unique listening experience. Making this special copy of Downward available for you, after all these years, and the enthusiasm with which it is being received, is humbling and more gratifying than you can know.
With warmest regards,
Matt Talbott

Edited one year agoThis pressing is absolutely superb. I can’t imagine this album sounding better. -
Edited one year agoProbably one of the best sounding records I own, it's a great pressing. -
Edited 3 years agoProbably one of the top 10 best-sounding records I own. Spinning this is always a pleasure. Agreed marc.hedman; be sure to buy this through Polyvinyl or Earth Analog (when it's available). -
DO NOT pay more than $37 for this. It's currently available through Polyvinyl's website. Amazing record, amazing pressing.

Edited one year agoechoing the comments on previous pressings, but this sounds stellar. great fullness and no noise, thoroughly enjoyed. -
-
Edited 3 years agoJust curious if the first run of these blue LPs included the half sheet card signed by Matt that came with the first run of black Earth Analog vinyl. Just grabbed one of these from Polyvinyl in 11/21 and no card. -
Unreal! Bringing 1997 back crystal clear with a blue tint!!
Blown away by the clarity of the opening of Comin Home. And seperation of if You Are too Bloom.
Wow this is a great EVERYTHING IN A RECORD.. -
Absolute perfection, like the band is right in front of you. Crystal clear, dead quiet, muscular.
