Now back in print — The highly collectible Cardas LP! ................
Ben Harper and Tom Freund's legendary album, Pleasure and Pain, has been newly re-mastered by Bernie Grundman at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Hollywood, California. This is truly an audiophile recording. The album was originally recorded on March 15, 1992, by George Cardas, of Cardas Audio, using a Studer A-80 tape deck. George used a pair of Omni differential microphones that he custom built and fed the sound directly to the Studer tape deck with nothing else in the signal path, not even a preamp. It is about the most direct and natural recording method there is. Now remastered from the analog masters by Bernie Grundman. ................
It really is incredible - and incredibly fortunate - that George Cardas was able to capture this yet-to-be-huge star with this simple, raw first recording. There's no slick overproduction. This is a rising star and an audiophile recording. It's been out of print seemingly forever. But now it's back! ................

HISTORY OF THE ORIGINAL LP/RECORD !!!!!!!!!!
.....................................
CARDAS RECORDS - Ben Harper - " Pleasure and Pain " FACTORY SEALED - NEW - Extremely Rare - OUT OF PRINT . This Classic album pressing was specially released by Ben Harper and Tom Freund and produced by George Cardas , of legendary "Cardas Cables", on March 15th 1992 , when a moment in time stood still and magic and alchemy happened. It is a stunning recording and with only 1000 or so were ever released, not avaliable on any other music format, and is not only considered one of Ben Harpers finest recordings, but also one of the rarest and collectable LP's around . All involved wove a spell binding experience and this album is a testament and credit to all . George Cardas , put all his incredible skill and knowhow into this project , with the use of Cardas differential microphones and Helix Golden 5.C cables and using an all analog recording chain , with the mastering done by Legendary Doug Sax at The Mastering Lab, in CA. Transferred to 180 Gram virgin vinyl and using only the original studio master tapes allowes this album to be taken to the next level of Audiophile nivana with awesome imagining, presence and feeling. You can feel the air split as notes are plucked out of a black canvas soundstage . This is a wonderful recording and is very rare record to come across . I have own this album since new . Highly recommended..........
