Audiophile Series A&M Records Promo Vinyl LP Unplayed Rare!! Supertramp. Oh my, this one has been in my collection since 1985. As mentioned in my other vinyl listings. I worked in a record store in 1985 while going to high school. This LP was sitting around forever as a in-house promo LP. This one was never played in the store, and naturally as a promo copy it was in a shelve with many other circulated albums for many years, Yes, as you can see there is shelf wear and ring wear. However, this is virgin Audiophile vinyl!!! It's just a cool promo record that has outstanding tracks on it by Supertramp and others. I own all the Audiophile series in my personal collection. These were the real deal made in Japan with half-speed mastering. I wish that I could say this about all the North American Half-Speed Mastering records. I think that they were a cash cow marketing idea that really weren't done like the Japanese do. Enjoy! Oh, this one is really about what's in the inside ;), not the cover. Actually, the cover isn't that bad. it's from 1979 and was being constantly moved around in a shelve with in store play copies. Keep in mind that this was 1985. We were playing a lot of Punk, New Wave, Goth, and not very much Supertramp ;). I eventually bought it as an employee, as I wanted everything vinyl Enjoy!
A&M Audiophile Series. The Canadian series was introduced in 1978. These were half-speed masters pressed on virgin vinyl in Japan, which were imported and then packaged in Canada.
Audiophile Series Introduction: The Audiophile process produces a superb master from which this record is manufactured on the purest possible anti-static vinyl. The cutting of the master from the original stereo tapes is performed at half the normal speed, the velocity of the cutting stylus being dramatically reduced results in a more faithful cutting of heavily modulated passages and the general extension of the frequency range.
A&M Records' Audiophile Series provides extremely high fidelity sound reproduction, remarkably clear and distinct, virtually free of surface and background noise.
