Thank you @avanti1960!
Kickstarter for all analog "No Filter"
Hello everyone,
This is Jerome Sabbagh writing. I’ve been a member of this board and an audiophile for a while.
Three years ago, the support of board members here helped make a vinyl pressing of my album "The Turn" a reality. Well, I’m at it again: I recently recorded a new album, "No Filter", a project I co-lead with my old friend - and fantastic guitarist - Greg Tuohey. I am raising funds to press it on vinyl. It will be all analog.

Like "The Turn", this record was recorded live to two track 1/2 inch tape at 30 ips by James Farber at Sear Sound. It will be mastered and cut to vinyl directly from the tape by Bernie Grundman. CDs and 96/24 downloads will also be available.
We are trying to keep the vinyl affordable at $20 + shipping ($5 in the US). There are also fancier options (numbered copies, signed copies, test pressings, and even reference lacquer pressings and 1/4 inch reel to reel tapes!).
I am happy to answer any and all questions and hope you might consider supporting this. We are shooting for an October release.
Thank you!
Jerome Sabbagh

Hi, I wanted to let everyone know that we officially reached the goal on Kickstarter for "No Filter", which allows us to move forward. I am psyched and grateful for the support on this board and elsewhere. The vinyl pressing will definitely become a reality! I will keep you informed. The Kickstarter is still open for another 3 weeks or so. Thank you! Jerome Sabbagh |
Some of you have backed my new Kickstarter for an all analog pressing of "No Filter" and as a thank you for the support, I wanted to share a couple of preview tracks with you. They are streaming here: https://soundcloud.com/jeromesabbagh/sets/jerome-sabbagh-greg-tuohey-no-filter Mastering Engineer Bernie Grundman gave us a few options to choose from in the beginning and, after extensive listening, we ended up going with no EQ, which allowed us to bypass the mastering board for an even purer signal path. For the vinyl, Bernie has cut a test lacquer of a song two ways, one on his solid state lathe and one on his tube lathe. We’re going to pick the one that sounds best to us to cut the vinyl directly from the tape. I hope you will enjoy the music and consider supporting this project, if you haven’t done so already. There are 5 days left: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1834848136/jerome-sabbagh-greg-tuohey-no-filter-analog-vinyl I have a master at 96/24 and if anyone here would like to hear the tracks at 96/24, please PM me and I will send a link. Thank you! Jerome Sabbagh |
