Half speeding is an elaborate process whereby the source is played back at half its normal speed and the turntable on the disc cutting lathe is running at 16 2/3 R.P.M. Because both the source and the cut were running at half their “normal” speeds everything plays back at the right speed when the record is played at home.
Released in October 2006, Back to Black is the second studio by Amy Winehouse. It won Best Pop Vocal Album in February 2008 at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards in LA with the single “Rehab” winning Record of the Year and Song of the Year and Amy herself picking up two more awards Best New Artist, Best Female Pop Vocalist for “Rehab”.
The album produced several singles, including 'Rehab', 'You Know I'm No Good', 'Back to Black', 'Tears Dry on Their Own', and 'Love Is a Losing Game'.
A Deluxe Edition 2CD of Back to Black was released in November 2007, containing a bonus disc of B-sides, rare, and live tracks including “Valerie”, “Cupid” and “Monkey Man".
