Hans Zimmer & James Newton Howard – The Dark Knight [1st Press] (24bit-96kHz Vinyl)

I spotted this brief excerpt from an interview with Hans Zimmer (https://youtu.be/NdG5dEfAcxQ?t=1m42s) in which he talks about The Dark Knight soundtrack on vinyl. Apparently the record company rejected the test pressings twice citing that there were 20 seconds of silence on the first track. "After the third time we realized what it was. The bottom end simply wasn’t cutting to vinyl". The LFE was so low that it was inaudible!

To set the record straight (pun intended), I can confirm that the "bottom end" is indeed there (with an even higher dynamic range than that of the CD version) and that whatever piece of shit tin-pot system the record execs were listening on simply wasn’t digging deep enough.

A2 I’m Not A Hero 6:34
