Mandoki - People In The Room No. 8 (Master Record)

With PEOPLE IN ROOM N°. 8, Leslie Mandoki achieved his biggest success to date in 1997. Both the album and the hit single “On And On” stayed on the charts and
finally brought the project—already highly acclaimed among music insiders and musicians— to a wider audience.

Ultimately, the performance on “Wetten, dass...?” with Bobby Kimball (Toto), Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull), David Clayton-Thomas (Blood, Sweat & Tears), Jack Bruce (Cream), Nik Kershaw, Peter Maffay, and Chaka Khan as a lineup of superlatives also garnered the most attention. Thomas Gottschalk raved: “A performance the likes of which you don’t see every day on ‘Wetten, dass...?’: No fewer than 139 gold records are now marching in, 29 platinum, 26 Grammys! That’s unprecedented!”

On the album, Mandoki not only blended elements of pop, jazz, and rock music
into an impressively harmonious whole, but the lineup of the Mandoki Soulmates reads like a “Who’s Who” of rock and jazz history:

Master Record

If you want to get as close as possible to the playback quality of a master tape copy with your record player, you should definitely consider the new Revox Horch Master Record Edition when making your purchase decision.

Normally, such master copies are only used as a “mother” for the production of pressed records and never end up on a turntable.

Now you have the opportunity to hear such a jewel of sound on your turntable. Produced with first-class analog equipment and Japanese MDC lacquer plates of the highest standards. Carefully cut in real time from an analog master tape on a vintage STUDER A80 tape machine and a Neumann recording machine.

The result is that each Revox Horch House Master Record is a unique and sensitive object, offering the warmest, most authentic stereophonic sound you will ever hear on a record.
