Description

Beautiful near mint cover and excellent record. Judging by the spindle marks on the label this record has been carefully played a number of times and has a few very lite hard to find sleeve hairlines here and there but the vinyl still retains it's beauty.
   
I purchased this lp used about 10 years ago on Ebay, I bought this really not to play or listen to but just to ad to my Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab Lp collection. I've never put this lp on a turn table.
The prior owner took great care of the lp and appears to have enjoyed listening to it now and again, the one thing left off the Ebay ad that is really not that big a thing to me anyway, but I'll disclose it anyway, the prior owner used the inner cardboard sleeve which includes other MFSL releases, as a checklist and checked off the lps he or she owned. I show it on photo 12.       
I started collecting these Mobile Fidelity Lps when they first started appearing in the record racks at the local stereo retailers back in 1979. In my area the best place to buy high end stereo equipment was Pacific Stereo. These high end stereo retailers were also the only places you would find Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab Lps being sold. Part of the quality sound check was to test the equipment you were interested in by using the immaculate new sound found on these MFSL records, there were no CDs back then. MFSL was it. They were enticingly cool, the see thru vinyl when held under a light, the beautiful sheen on the vinyl, the design of the cover (ORIGINAL MASTER RECORDING) and of course the sound quality and quietness of the vinyl. You were sold, and convinced you can only play these MFSL records on the best equipment in the store. The record deserves nothing less. Yep that was me, I'd play them a few times, then feel guilty that maybe I'm going to wear it out if I played it too much. So instead of playing them I'd put them away and look at them once in a while. then CDs arrived.
