Why Choose Rega The Secret of Climbing LP?
Rega The Secret of Climbing LP delivers a rare, intimate listening experience for audiophiles and vinyl enthusiasts, showcasing Rega’s dedication to analogue excellence alongside the artistry of Stephen Fearing, a co-founder of Canadian roots-rock supergroup Blackie and The Rodeo Kings. Recorded at Rega founder Roy Gandy’s home in Essex, this vinyl-only release captures Fearing’s simultaneous guitar and vocal performance using a custom setup designed by Rega’s engineering team. The result is an 180g audiophile LP that feels as if Fearing is performing in your living room, with no effects or mastering to dilute its authenticity, making it a collector’s gem for those who value pure analogue sound.
Rega The Secret of Climbing LP stands out for its meticulous recording process, a testament to Rega’s 50-year legacy in crafting high-fidelity audio equipment. Rega’s team used two microphones—a Pearl CC22 for the guitar and vocals, with an Audio Technica AT-4040 for additional vocal takes—separated by a simple shelf to isolate the sound. Recorded directly onto a restored Studer A-80 tape machine, the tracks were mixed using a custom Rega 8-track mixer and cut directly to a Neumann lathe by Ray Staff, preserving every nuance of Fearing’s performance.
Rega The Secret of Climbing LP, available at Len Wallis Audio, highlights Fearing’s songwriting prowess, earning him accolades like the 2017 Worldwide Album of the Year by Blues & Roots Radio for his ninth solo album, Every Soul’s a Sailor. His bespoke Manzer acoustic guitar shines through in tracks like ‘Johnny’s Lament’ and ‘Long Walk to Freedom,’ delivering a blend of roots, folk, and pop that captivates audiophiles.
