Making The Album

From the moment the concert ended requests for an album began. Knowing that there might possibly be a demand for an album, Robert and Jon prepared to have the concert recorded professionally, in stereo, so there would be a high quality recording of the night's magical reenactment of U.N.C.L.E.'s most famous music.

Recording the concert

The concert itself was recored in stereo on state of the art Mac equipment and applications by Shaun Chasin. The microphone placement was chosen to capture the band at it's best while keeping the ambient room and audience sound to a minimum.   

Engineering the tracks

The carefully crafted mix of the live tracks by Doug Schwartz, known for his recent mix on the "Jonny Quest" soundtrack album, fully realized the amazing potential of the live recordings. After two detailed mixes the final album mix was chosen to achieve the right amount of music impact and audience appreciation.

Designing the album

The duties of designing the packaging fell to Robert Short while Jon Burlingame handled the liner notes. After several months and dozens of concepts they agreed on a simple, clean design that showcases  basic motifs inspired by the series. Jon, famous for his liner notes on virtually dozens of albums, rounded out the project with his observations, analysis and wit while reflecting on the albums essential content.

Manufacturing the album

These cds have been replicated to the highest industry standards available.
Replicated discs — or pressed CDs — are what most people think of when they think of CDs. In fact, manufacturing is sometimes referred to as "pressing." With pressed CDs, the manufacturer will take the master disc you submit to them and create a glass master.
That glass master is then used to create a nickel stamper and polycarbonate substrates that are metallized.
This process produces an exact replication of your original master so that your final product sounds exactly like that master. You can think of this as "professional grade" — when you purchase a CD that has been released by a record label, it almost certainly is a pressed CD.

Each of "The Jazz from U.N.C.L.E." CDs comes full packaged and sealed.
