Rare Earth Get Ready UHQCD

After the single "Get Ready" appeared on the debut album "Dreams/Answers" in a short version and the hit potential was clear, "Rare Earths" second album was named directly after it and equipped with the almost 22-minute, brilliant full version. This is considered the first song to become a dancefloor hit in Europe despite its epic length; And rightly so! And none other than the Rolling Stones helped themselves to the catchy riff and processed it in the song "Bitch" on their album "Sticky Fingers".
Due to the release on the booming Motown label (by the way, as the first white band), success was not long in coming, the album sold millions of copies. With a fine mix of rock/funk/R&B/, the Detroiters are simply fun – let yourself be infected!
UHQCD stands for Ultimate High Quality Compact Disc and is a joint development of the Japanese CD replication company Memory-Tech and the Audio Quality CD Company from Hong Kong. Unlike conventional CDs, UHQCDs are not pressed from polycarbonate, but are cast from a photopolymer and cured with UV light. To protect the softer photopolymer from scratching, another layer of high-purity polycarbonate is applied. The combination results in a significantly reduced reflection of the laser light inside the CD and an unrivalled precise edge transition between pits and lands of the CD. UHQCDs are 100% compatible with normal CD players. Musically, the result is a sound that is strongly reminiscent of analogue master tapes.
The discs offered by Universal Japan are additionally encoded with MQA (Master Quality Authenticated). If you output the digital signal from the digital output of your CD player or the previously ripped data stream of your music server to a corresponding MQA-DA converter, you can generate a 24-bit signal with up to 352 Khz sampling frequency from the CD data.
While the first UHQCD series of Universal Music Japan used the DSD data of previous SHM-SACD releases, albums that had not previously been released as SHM-SACD are now also being released with increasing popularity. Typically, the master tapes of the Universal Archive are converted to DSD and then post-processed with the appropriate MQA encoder. Thus, the UHQCDs are ideal for music lovers who want to get as close as possible to the sound of the recording, but do not have an SACD player.
