Patricia Barber Clique 180 g Vinyl Record

Patricia Barber’s Clique is a 180 g vinyl record featuring a nine-track programme. Five tracks appear on Side A, followed by four tracks on Side B. This physical edition is intended for listeners who want to add Clique to their vinyl collection and enjoy the album as a two-part listening experience.

Track listing

Side A contains the first part of the album programme:

1. This Town
2. Trouble Is a Man
3. Mashup
4. One Note Samb
5. I Could Have Danced All Night

Side B continues the album with four tracks:

1. The In Crowd
2. Shall We Dance
3. Straight, No Chaser
4. All is Fair in Love

What the 180 g format means

The 180 g designation refers to the weight of the vinyl record. On its own, it does not define the quality of the recording, the required playback speed or the way in which the audio was prepared. The most important considerations when choosing this release are the artist, the album, the included track programme and the physical format.

The final sound also depends on the complete playback chain. Relevant factors include correct turntable setup, the condition of the stylus, the phono stage and the rest of the audio system. The weight of the record alone should therefore not be treated as a promise of any particular sound character or level of performance.

How the album runs across two sides

Side A opens with “This Town” and concludes with “I Could Have Danced All Night.” After the record is turned over, Side B begins with “The In Crowd.” The final track in the stated programme is “All is Fair in Love.”

This arrangement divides the listening session clearly into two parts. To hear the complete programme in the stated order, the record must be turned over after the fifth track. The numbering begins again on each side, so the Side B list starts at track 1 rather than continuing with track 6.

How to use it with an audio system

Playback requires a turntable and a suitable phono signal path. If a phono preamplifier is built into the turntable or amplifier, no additional phono device is required. Otherwise, an external phono preamplifier must be used between the turntable and a standard line-level input.

A turntable without an integrated phono preamplifier should not be connected directly to an ordinary line input. The 180 g designation does not indicate the playback speed, so the turntable speed should be selected according to the marking on the record itself or on its label.

Technical specifications

FAQ

Who is this release intended for?

It is intended for listeners looking for a 180 g vinyl version of Patricia Barber’s album Clique and who use a turntable. The tracks are presented across two sides, allowing buyers to review the complete stated programme and its sequence before purchasing.

What does the 180 g designation mean for this release?

It indicates the weight of the record. This figure does not, by itself, confirm a particular level of sound quality, playback speed, audio preparation method or any other edition-specific characteristic. A purchasing decision should instead be based on the artist, album, track listing and physical format described on this page.

How are the tracks divided between the two sides?

Side A contains five tracks, while Side B contains four. The complete stated programme therefore includes nine tracks. After “I Could Have Danced All Night,” the record must be turned over so that playback can continue with “The In Crowd.”

Why does the numbering on Side B start at 1?

The numbering on this page restarts for each side. The positions on Side A are numbered 1-5, while those on Side B are numbered 1-4. This distinguishes a track’s position on a particular side of the record from its place in the complete nine-track programme.

What is the playback speed of this record?

The playback speed is not specified in the store information provided, and it cannot be determined from the 180 g weight. Before listening, check the marking on the record or its label and set the turntable to the indicated speed.

What equipment is required for playback?

A turntable and a suitable phono signal path are required. If neither the turntable nor the amplifier includes a phono preamplifier, an external phono preamplifier must be connected between the turntable and a standard line-level input. The 180 g designation does not establish equipment compatibility.

Has the information about this release been verified through an independent source?

No. All product information on this page comes solely from the store text available before optimisation because an independent product page could not be accessed. For that reason, this description does not confirm any additional characteristics that were absent from the original store information.

Which release details are not specified in this description?

The original text does not state a catalogue number, record label, release date, pressing country, edition variant, number of records, playback speed, recording format, mastering information, packaging details, price, stock status or included accessories. These details are therefore deliberately not attributed to this product.
