Nimbus Supercut pressing of Joni Mitchell's excellent The Hissing of Summer Lawns. Vinyl and cover in excellent condition.
Here's some background on Nimbus Supercuts,
"Nimbus Supercut audiophile limited edition pressings were mastered from original source tapes in limited editions available by mail-order only for readers of 'Practical Hi-Fi and 'Hi-Fi Today' magazine.
Gerald Reynolds, the owner of Nimbus record company, said to Hi-Fi News & Record Review (July, 2010): "Practical Hi-Fi did a wonderful job in getting the original master tapes for LPs.
Nimbus mastered each release from these master tapes using the best available mastering processes, employing many techniques for each release that were not commonly used. For example, generally when bass moves from channel to channel on an LP, groove modulation is employed to reduce the movement of the stylus and this results in this bass being centered more over both channels. Most audiophiles would argue that this - and in fact anything, which changes the original recording should be avoided although this is common practice on most LPs. On Nimbus Supercuts the bass can move from channel to channel, Nimbus did not limit this, resulting in an outstanding pressing. Nimbus also had the ICI company produce an extremely pure vinyl for the LPs, which has amazing frequency reproduction."
