MFSL  1-235 Original Master Recording BB King Lucille album from 1968. Remastered  from the Original master Tapes, at half speed and re mixed for Audiophile quality, rather than the radio broadcast quality of regular commercial pressings. released 1995 on JVC 200 GRAM virgin Vinyl.
Ltd. Edition No. 665 of less than  (usually 5000) pressed on JVC virgin vinyl.  Anadisqs (sometimes referred to as Anadisc) were issued by the American Audiophile pioneers Mobile Fidelity. from 1994  through to 1996.

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

Even rarer in Australia

This pressing of Lucille is highly sought after by both Audiophiles and blues/BB King fans

CONDITION

SEALED, ONLY damage is to loose bag perforation top corner (see seperate photo's).  Perforation has seperated on front side only about 2.5cm/1", but reverse has seperated down to first song title 'Lucille' in the play list (10cm /4") which actually is exactly how it came to me in 2006, just the person I bought it from failed to mention it....

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, Crown of Creation and Pink Floyd 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 those first ones had  Only about 65 different albums were released in this anadisq series before bankruptcy and closure in 1999. Still regarded as one of the most collectible series issued in the audiophile realm. This 1995 release LP is one of the more expensive for collectors that reached the general market from that 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.

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.
