Lovers Rock (2000) is Sade’s fifth album, featuring the singles “By Your Side” and “King Of
Sorrow.” The album was recorded at Sarm Hook End (England), El Cortijo (Spain), and
Deliverance Studios (England). The vinyl audio uses high resolution digital transfers of the
stereo master mixes, from the original studio recordings, remastered at half-speed at Abbey
Road Studios. The elaborate, half-speed mastering process has produced exceptionally
clean and detailed audio whilst remaining faithful to the band’s intended sound. No
additional digital limiting was used in the mastering process, so the album benefits from the
advantage of extra clarity and pure fidelity, preserving the dynamic range of the original
mixes, presented on pure 180-gram heavyweight black vinyl. The original album sleeve and
packaging elements have been meticulously reproduced in exact detail with authentic paper
and printing methods.
