Venus & Mars (50th Anniversary Half-Speed Master): Vinyl LP

Label: UMR/EMI
Release Date: 21st March

Macca and Wings followed up the spotless 'Band on the Run' with guess what? Another absolute WORLD CLASS record. What else were you expecting? Half-Speed Master for it's 50th Anniversary means this is the best sounding reissue you can find.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Venus and Mars, this special vinyl edition was cut at half speed using a high-resolution transfer of the original master tapes from 1975 by Miles Showell at the legendary Abbey Road Studios. The album is presented as a meticulous reproduction of the original UK pressing, with recreations of the original “Venus and Mars are alright tonight” circular sticker and “comparative sizes of sun and planets” bookmark sticker, and comes with two posters with photography by Aubrey Powell and Sylvia de Swaan. The iconic album artwork by Hipgnosis has been meticulously recreated and presented in a gatefold sleeve.
