Thanks for sharing such a beautiful gift. I listen to different music for inspiration - from Elvis Presley's beautiful love songs to Limp Bizkit's furious songs about hatred.

Today it was George Benson " Weekend in LA". I did feel that this was one of his best albums. A decent pressing and certainly worth a listen.

Today it was Paul Anka "Anka". Iconic. Being Father's Day , "Papa" was most appropriate. Not to mention" Bring the Wine", "One Woman Man", and others.
On another note, Qurbani. Though I don't have the album, "Aap Jaisa Koi", picturised on Zeenat Aman was enough for young (then) persons like me to skip classes for this movie. No regrets.

A short thundershower in the morning and " Pyaasa" on the turntable. Iconic songs by Hemant Kumar " Jane woh Kaise Log...", Mohd Rafi " Sar Jo tera chakraye", Geeta Dutt " Aaj sajan mohe aang laga le" with the preceding verse " jab hum chale to saya bhi apna". Nicely recorded vocals.

Is the sound of this half speed mastered album any better than other albums ?

What "other albums" are you referring to? We need something to compare.

That said, can try to explain the sound all day long but you won't know until you hear for yourself.

Being mastered from digital source record sounds nice. But if you can find a good analogue pressing go for it.

What I meant was is a half speed mastered album better than a full speed mastered (normal) album.

They tend to sound a bit richer and clearer, though not as bassy or loud (also why not everything gets the HS treatment). With that, as I said, we can try to explain it all day, but you have to hear one in comparison to a normal mastered one to appreciate the sound.

Additionally, the quality of your system also plays a big part in hearing the difference. While you don't need a $10,000dollar system to appreciate the sound, a hundred-dollar system isn't going to do justice either. You can check the video to get an idea...
