Description

Last one!

This just arrived from the last one that was sold:

I just wanted to let you know I received the record.
It was a little dusty so I wet cleaned it on my RCM and it came out perfectly.
Your rating was very conservative as I feel this is now very close to mint.
Thank you very much,
Robert

This is THE pressing to have of this wonderful LP.  It is the first to use the original master tapes and the increased clarity is reflected in the incredible sound.

The cover is VG+.

All records have been cleaned on a VPI 17 with VPI fluid and then rinsed with distilled water.   They have been placed in new poly inner sleeves and will be shipped with the LP outside of the cover via USPS media mail with tracking. 

The grades are as follows (modified Goldmine standards [mine are more rigorous]):

NM - almost nothing plays this level - even sealed records!

M- - a few ticks or pops per side.  Quiet background and vinyl.  This rarely happens.

VG+ - More than a few ticks or pops per side.  Quiet background and vinyl.  The noise only rarely makes itself known and, for the most part, doesn't interfere with the music.  This is about as good as it gets for pre-1965 US vinyl.

VG -The background is no longer quiet.  However, for the most part, the music overpowers the noise.

VG- - The noise is sometimes intrusive.

G+ - The noise is often intrusive, but the music is usually enjoyable.

G - Only sometimes is the music enjoyable.

F (Fair) - Noisy.

P (poor) - Your stylus is at risk!!!

Ratings were made using a Basis Debut Gold II (non-vacuum) with a Living Voice Mystic carbon fiber mat and a Sota reflex clamp, a Graham 2.2, and a Lyra Parnassus cartridge through an Audio Advancements (German, Brocksieper, dual mono tube) preamp and a Symphonic Line amp driving Avalon Radians.  Though I try to be accurate and consistent, your perception may differ.  Before each side was played the stylus was Zero dusted and Stylast treated, the record was brushed clean and Zerostated.

Good luck to all!  Enjoy the music!
