Description

What It Is: This is an audiophile pressing of Joni Mitchell's Court and Spark album. This LP was pressed by Nautilus Records, using the same half-speed mastering technique as used by Mobile Fidelity.

"The original master two-track tape was used to cut the master lacquers by Jack E. Hunt at the JVC Cutting Center in Hollywood, California. Tapes and lacquers were run at half their normal speeds to ensure maximum fidelity, dynamic range and widest possible frequency response. All Nautilus Recordings are pressed on imported virgin vinyl under strict quality controls."

This LP has been played only on a high-end system and is in flawless condition.

Tracks are: Side 1

Court an d SPark
Help Me
Free Man in Paris
People's Parties
The Same Situation

Side 2

Car on a Hill
Down to You
Just Like This Train
Raised on Robbery
Trouble Child
Twisted

Grading standards:

All items are visually graded, and if they've been play graded that will be noted. I follow Goldmine grading standards. My grading is conservative, at least as good as I would expect from anyone that I would buy from.

Payment:

I accept PayPal or personal checks (personal checks must clear before I ship). If you must return the item, it must be in the same condition that I sent it, but I will refund your full purchase price and return shipping cost within the USA (outside of the USA, I'll refund the bid price, but you must pay for return shipping unless I've made a serious error, in which case I'll pay shipping too) -- I guarantee your satisfaction.

Shipping cost and Insurance:

Within the USA: I ship via the US Postal Service, priority and media mail. Costs are based on the shipping weight and package size. Please contact me for shipping to other locations. As always, if your winning bid is above $50, I will pay for insurance within the USA.

Outside of the USA: I'm willing to ship outside of the USA, cost based on the winner's address and size and weight of the package. I usually insist on airmail for reasonable delivery time and better handling. I state the shipping size and weight in the ad so that you'll have an idea of cost, though final determination of shipping cost will occur when the auction completes. Unfortunately I can't offer free insurance as it often gets quite expensive for overseas shipment, however, I strongly advise that you select insurance as I cannot be responsible for delivery in another country.

Thanks for looking and bidding!
