More Info:

Promise (1985) is Sade’s second album, featuring the singles “The Sweetest Taboo”, “Is It
A Crime?”, and “Never As Good As The First Time.” The album was recorded at Power Plant
Studios (England) and Studio Miraval (France). 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.
