Sade - Soldier Of Love (Half Speed Master)

• Available September 20th, 2024.
• All ship orders including this title will be held back.

Soldier of Love is Sade's sixth album originally released in 2010. It was released following another near decade long hiatus. In that time, her public appearances were minimal and she spent time at her stone cottage in South England. This reclusive period is reflective in the lyrics, which are described as darker, and more bleak. It is featuring the singles "Soldier of Love," "Babyfather" and "The Moon and the Sky."

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.

Heavyweight vinyl produced by Legacy in 2024.
