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.
This is the best pressed edition of the best recording ever made (IMHO). But... Sides 1 and 2 received heat damage. They still play without any apparent warp, but 3/5 of the music on each side have audible and obvious humps of sound - this does not effect the quality of the sonics- but it renders most of each side essentially unlistenable. Otherwise- everyting sounds great with very little surface noise. Still- this is a great sonic and artisitc experience- and good copies cost into the hundreds. Many may have the standard Decca or London edition to listen to until getting to the goods on these first two sides; it doesn't cost much to purchase the standard edition either to fill this in.
This is a chance to own this stunning acheivement for pennies on the current value... your move!

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
