Very good vinyl, no obvious scratches and some minor blemishes. Green label.
Appears to be the original inner sleeve(s), with additional Nagaoka anti-static sleeve.
Also included the 8 - page booklet, in excellent condition on the inside pages, the outside showing some staining/blotches.
Part of quality collection of Mobile Fidelity releases, Half-Speed Masters, Direct Cut Masters and over 120 Japanese Pressings included in a total of 1500 albums.
I have been an audiophile for over 50 years and all vinyl etc lovingly cared for, and since the original purchase perfectly stored on appropriate shelving and in a smoke free environment. As far back as the late 60’s a friend built me a beautiful solid wood cabinet to store the vinyl, which I used for over 40 years. Later using additional Habitat “storage cubes” which were perfect for albums at 13” x 13” My turntable is not currently wired up (no suitable equipment) has not been used for over 12 years, therefore other that the look of the vinyl I am unable to comment on the presence of pops/crackles etc.
Recently a sold Moody Blues half-speed master album was rejected by the purchaser because of a musty smell and slight stains on the inner sleeve (the vinyl was immaculate). It was from a series with their own brand of inner sleeve. A friend has subsequently confirmed the smell with a similar release not yet sold. My sense of smell must be failing me because I could not smell the mild odour, I also cannot often smell the diffuser in my hall. My failing eye sight obviously did not spot the blemishes on the sleeve. My sincerest apologies if I miss any blemishes or odour again. I shall try my best.
In 1987 I started on a wonderful journey, and still going on, collecting Grateful Dead music. Involving thousands of cassettes (over 3000), 150 PCM tapes, 300 DAT Tapes and currently 4700 Cd’s, and over 800 duplicates etc. discarded. This involved 6 Nakamichi Decks and 2 Professional DAT machines.
With this commitment I hardly played any vinyl.
