COLLECTION COPY !

This is one of the harder to find AUDIOPHILE HALF SPEED MASTERS

Most amazing **BEST** SOUND QUALITY around ~ Original "limited edition" MOBILE FIDELITY SOUND LABS issue of the LEGENDARY "BOSTON" ALBUM !

What distinguishes an Original master Recording LP from any other record ?

1. Original Master Recordings are exclusively transferred from the original stereo master tape that the musicians recorded in the studio (not from a second, third, or fourth generation copy of that master tape).

2. Each Original Master Recording employs Mobile Fidelity Sound lab's exclusive half-speed mastering process, thus capturing every nuance of sound from the master tape.

3. Quality, not quantity, is the overwhelming consideration in the creation of each Original Master Recording. The number of pressings is strictly controlled. These limited editions assure you that the quality of the last pressing matches the quality of the first.

4. Original Master recordings are custom pressed overseas by the Victor Company of Japan (JVC). Super Vinyl, an exclusive compound far superior to even so-called 100% virgin vinyl, is utilized to achieve maximum clarity and startling quietness.... Super Vinyl also bestows unsurpassed durability to each Original Master Recording LP, achieving a "playing lifespan" at least five times longer than mass- produced records.

5. Each Original Master Recording is ultra-packaged to maintain flatness and prevent warpage.

MFSL became well known for quality vinyl pressings and went out of business in the 1990's -- their pressings are now extremely sought after and only getting harder to get by the day....

Boston's self-titled debut is a great paradox. What sounds like guitars being fed through computers is actually a mix of vintage guitars, amps, and effects. Also, the band were tagged as corporate rockers, which is untrue, as the album was actually recorded in leader Tom Scholz's basement, making it truly independent rock.

One of the those albums where every song has been played on the classic rock radio station...in otherwords every song is a winner. There are no 'bad' tracks whatsoever.

With this first BOSTON album, the band achieved two things; they made one of the strongest debut albums in history of rock and secondly they started the whole arena rock genre that became mega-popular all over the universe in the late 70´s. It´s hard to tell where is the main strength here. Is it in the powerful voice of Brad Delp or in Scholz´s guitar escapedes? Every song is played techically perfect. Recorded on a simple 12-track recorder as a demo, it was so good that the record company released it. Tom Scholz masterminded the project in his spare time; little did he know that this record would become a hi-fi store standard demo disc. Since that time, this record-breaking debut has sold 15 million copies in its homeland. Sholtz put so much effort into making it, he has managed only three further records in 22 years. "More Than A Feeling" still soars in a classic rock sort of way and the harmonies are pretty impressive.

The Cover: The THICK gatefold cover is a tastey M- all MINT clean and will serve as a great final collection copy ... no bends, no writing and no split seams...

The Vinyl: side one is M- clean ...visually see nothing but a couple small hair scuffs on side two, near "EX" (excellent) ...all said it is very much a collection copy, this is a THICK top quality HALF SPEED MASTER gram platter and it plays clean ... with clean MOBILE FIDELITY labels

A GREAT ADDITION TO ANYONE'S COLLECTION !
