Description

*1st SOUND*

(LP, CD, DVD-A, SACD, Blu-ray Audio)

A division of VNLRLZ

Each *1st SOUND* selection is chosen by a team of audiophile professionals primarily for the reference and demonstration quality of the recording, mastering, and pressing. More often than not, they are also notable for the quality of the music and excellence of interpretation.


Although highly-collectible for those who value superb sonics, they will always be priced competitively and may be returned for a full refund including return shipping costs if the buyer is not delighted with the experience they present.

Notes

Two tracks are misspelled: A6 should be ‘Madrilène’, B4 should be ‘Fête Bohème’.

“Single step process was used for this ‘Limited Edition’ release. The stamper was made from the first generation master and not more than 1,000 were pressed from each stamper. This process allows every record to be of ‘test pressing quality.’”
Additional Lps or CDs purchased from us will ship at an additional $1 per item unless of extra weight. We will automatically apply this discount.

My grading:

 

NM: Virtually brand new

NM-: plays like new but a few pops and ticks show up

NM--: still a great sounding LP but just a bit more surface noise

VG+: Surface is more noticeable and on multiple tracks

VG: Surface noise throughout but does not take away from presentation

VG-: Well- now you'll notice the noise very easily but the disc still has all its sound

G: A bit of a tough ride now 

G-: buckle up

 

All discs are distortion free: i.e. all loud climax hold their own and do not break up
