Eric Bibb And Needed Time – Good Stuff / 45RPM 2LP Opus 3 Records

Released in 1996, the album “Good Stuff” is the second extremely successful album in Eric Bibb's career after “Spirit And The Blues” (which won the Record To Die For Award in the USA, among others). “Good Stuff” captivates

above all with the incredibly sensitive accompaniment of “Needed Time” under its exquisite leader, Göran Wennerbrandt. Clive Davis, chief critic of the Sunday Times, named “Good Stuff” the best blues album of 1997! The enthusiastic

reviews in the German trade press should also be emphatically mentioned here once again! More blues-oriented than on the previous album, Eric Bibb presents mainly his own material – music in the tradition of Taj Mahal or Ry Cooder!

“A fantastic sounding, soulful album.” (AUDIOphile 4/2000)
“This record is an extraordinary experience in every respect.” (Matthias Böde in Stereo 10/2000)

The double HQ-LP (180-gram vinyl, 45 RPM), which boasts outstanding sound quality, was pressed by Optimal Media. Andreas “Lupo” Lubich (Calyx Mastering, Berlin) is responsible for the lacquer disc cutting.

Opus 3 is an independent Swedish music label dedicated to recording timeless acoustic music such as jazz, blues, folk and classical. Founded in late 1976 by sound engineer Jan-Eric Persson, the label has made it its mission to reproduce voices

and instruments as naturally as possible. To achieve this, Opus 3 selects recording environments with good natural. The label's recording techniques were developed specifically for acoustic music and were originally based on the use of tube gear

and “Blumlein” miking. In 2001, Opus 3 switched to digital eight-track technology and later to 16 channels – in the brand-new mixing and mastering studio designed and set up by Sweden's leading acoustic engineer Lennart Nilsson to mark the label's

30th anniversary. Apart from a few digital intermediate steps all processing is still done exclusively analog.

We recommend the use of "L'Art du Son" LP cleaner to wet wash your vinyl. Even new records of high quality production will benefit from this.
