MFSL  1-190 Original Master Recording Pink Floyd Meddle
Ltd. Edition No. 4094 of less than  (usually 5000) pressed on JVC virgin vinyl. This is from the first series Lp's issued by MO FI. before the Anadisq 200gm Ltd editions were issued. (sometimes referred to as Anadisc) from the American Audiophile pioneers Mobile Fidelity.

Very rarely seen in LP format, mostly seen as later MFSL  gold CD issues .

Even rarer in Australia

This pressing of Meddle is highly sought after by both Audiophiles and Pink Floyd fans

As album sales waned in the 80's due to CD sales, the limited series pressings were introduced. The first ones included Dream of the blue turtles, Journey Escape, Yellow Brick Road and Crown of Creation along with this Meddle LP. Having proved that as a successful marketing exercise, I suspect the more commonly known Anadisq series was released progressively through the 90's with more than just a self adhesive sticker to denote the limited serial number as these first ones had (see photo 1) Only about 65 different albums were released in that anadisq series before bankruptcy and closure in 1999. Still regarded as one of the most collectible series issued in the audiophile realm. This 1985? release LP is one of the more expensive for collectors that reached the general market from the first pre anadisq series.  but for the uninitiated MFSL buyers on my site, this is one worth having.

For more information do yourself a google search on mfsl discography etc.

Condition (See Photo's) NM LP / NM cover

No obvious damage to gatefold covers anywhere,  smallest of unobvious corner dings on bottom corners of gatefold, (extremely minor) NO edge wear damage.

LP is in NM condition, previous owner sold it to me in 2004 stating he had played it once to tape then archived it.  I played it for the first time to set up the sound sample you are listrening to, it had some serious crackles in the intro, but was just sticky dust, or pressing residues,  and each play of the run  ins before taping produced less crackles until it is as you hear it now with only a few faint tics, but even a brand new MFSL used to come with the warning that a few crackles were normal as they did not dehorn their mother stampers, and risk losing some of the dynamics, so original brochures talked about playing the record a few times to polish off the clicks installed at manufacture.

Being played, I can see nothing other than a few paper scuffs only visible in sunlight    Having test played the run in on both sides,  Just a few spider line scuffs,  can only be seen in sunlight strength light. In normal room lighting, appears like new with no damage.

RULES FOR BIDDING

DOES ANYBODY READ THIS?? I THINK NOT BASED ON RECENT BIDDING ACTIVITY ON MY ITEMS!! PLEASE READ...

If you have hidden feedback, less than 98% positive or less than 50 recent visible positives, I would appreciate email contact first to establish your credentials.  Credentials mean that I need to know you will be paying with VERIFIED PAYPAL account, and I of course will only be mailing to that verified address. DON'T EXPECT TO GET MY PERMISSION IN THE LAST 2 HOURS OF BIDDING, DO IT BEFOREHAND. (Buyers who have had trouble free transactions with me already qualify of course, regardless of the feedback status)

Winning bids unpaid after 7 days will be reported as non paying bidder and item opened to second chance offer.

HAPPY BIDDING, QUESTIONS WELCOME

This listing in Australian dollars because I don't live in US or UK, and if you don't, WHAT A WASTE OF DOUBLE CONVERSIONS THAT WOULD BE!!! Also as the exchange rate is more like R.S. not U.S against our vibrant economy in sunny Australia

The keen starting price offers a great opportunity to own this great recording at a reasonable starting price.
