Kacey Musgraves' GOLDEN HOUR to Receive Limited Audiophile Vinyl Edition
Mastered by Levi Seitz, the 3,000-copy 2LP 45 RPM set is pressed on Neotech VR900 D2 180g vinyl.
Interscope-Capitol Records is set to release a limited-edition audiophile vinyl pressing of Kacey Musgraves' GOLDEN HOUR on September 18 through Lost Highway Records. The 2LP 45 RPM One Step edition, part of the label's Definitive Sound Series, is limited to 3,000 numbered copies and was mastered by Levi Seitz at Black Belt Mastering from 24-bit/96kHz high resolution flat master files, pressed on Neotech VR900 D2 180g vinyl at Record Technology, Inc. Originally released in 2018, GOLDEN HOUR won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year as well as Best Country Album, Best Country Song for 'Space Cowboy,' and Best Country Solo Performance for 'Butterflies,' and was produced by Musgraves alongside Daniel Tashian and Ian Fitchuk. Each copy comes in a premium-weight tip-on double-pocket gatefold jacket with a two-sided insert and custom slipcase, and includes a certificate of authenticity detailing the mastering, plating, and pressing chain.
The edition is now available for pre-order.
Utilizing the One Step process, which eliminates multiple plating stages, the Definitive Sound Series edition reveals the album's lush production, intricate arrangements, and expansive soundstage with exceptional clarity, warmth, and depth.
Featuring beloved songs including 'Slow Burn,' 'Butterflies,' 'Rainbow,' and 'High Horse,' GOLDEN HOUR resonated far beyond Nashville, earning widespread acclaim for its adventurous songwriting and dreamy, cinematic production. The album also earned Album of the Year honors from both the Country Music Association and the Academy of Country Music.
