“After the Jam Sessions at Chess studios, Spann and Fleetwood Mac decided to do another album together and this is the result. Leary's drumming is outstanding and Peter Green is probably at the peak of his guitar skills. There's a slow opening with 'My Love Depends on You', and then things really take off with 'Walkin'. This is one of those ultra rare Blue Horizon issues that's been out of print for over 30 years. The Pure Pleasure release, another Ray Staff/Alchemy/Pallas collaboration, is one spectacular bit of music making. Spann is one of the greats and he's just so into the groove and laid back, delivering stunning vocals. While there are other Otis Spann records I've preferred in the past, this disc makes a very welcome addition to the repertoire of an artist I can listen to all day long. The man can play the piano as good as Memphis Slim and that's saying something! If you're not familiar with Otis, this is a mighty find introduction into who he is and what he can do. Simply stated, he's got the blues. Great music, great feeling, great sound. Now all you have to do is get your copy. Top recommendation. HiFi+ Issue 41”

Pure Pleasure Records
The Restoration of the Art of Sound
180g Vinyl Mastered From The Best Available Sources
At the beginning of the 90s, in the early days of audiophile vinyl re-releases, the situation was fairly straightforward. Companies such as DCC, Mobile Fidelity, Classic Records and, of course, Pure Pleasure all maintained a mutual, unwritten ethical code: we would only use analogue tapes to manufacture records. During the course of the present vinyl hype, many others have jumped on the bandwagon in the hope of securing a corner of the market. Very often they are not so ethical and use every imaginable source to master from: CDs, LPs, digital files, MP3s – or employed existent tools from the 80s and 90s for manufacturing.
A digital delay is gladly used when cutting a lacquer disc because tape machines with an analogue delay have become quite rare and are therefore expensive. When cutting the lacquer, the audio signal is delayed by one LP revolution against the signal, which controls the cutter head, and for this a digital delay is very often employed. Of course, the resultant sound signal is completely digital and thus only as good as this delay.
We should like to emphasize that Pure Pleasure Records on principle only uses the original master tape as the basis for the entirely analogue cutting of lacquer discs. In addition, the pressing tool is newly manufactured as a matter of principle. We only employ existing tools for manufacturing if an improved result is not forthcoming, e.g. the title Elvis Is Back, which was mastered by Steve Hoffman and Kevin Gray, or several titles from our Philips Classics series, which in any case Willem Makkee cut from the original masters at the Emil Berliner Studios in the 90s. It goes without saying that we only used the mother and that new tools were made for our production. To put it in a nutshell: we can ensure you that our releases are free from any kind of digital effects and that the lacquer discs are newly cut.
There really is nothing quite like it. It’s the touch, the feel, you have to stop and stare, the cover, the real thing, even the smell.
Its tangible, you can feel it, see it, study it, muse/dream over it, it’s real, someone has spent hours and hours over its construction and presentation. Pure Pleasure Records is just that, Pure Pleasure and that is what it has set out to be. The music and the physical record. Something to keep, treasure, admire and above all enjoy.Of course with vinyl it’s not just a record, it’s the cover, the sleeve notes, you are holding a unique package, produced by craftsmen.
