Description
Classic Records audiophile pressing of Miles Davis’ landmark recording ‘Birth of the Cool’. This record has only been played once since I purchased it new in 2005. That was on top quality equipment so it is effectively mint.
Birth of the Cool was the album that really kick-started Miles Davis’ solo career and is an essential addition to any music collection.
Sonically this LP is outstanding with a supremely quiet background. It is wonderful dynamic with a natural timbre, and astonishing levels of detail.
The USA based company Classic Records were one of the most respected audiophile record labels. They are no longer in production so these limited edition LPs are sure to become future collector's items. They are pressed on extremely high quality 200 gram vinyl. The LP, and heavy high quality card gatefold cover, are as new.
I have tried to photograph the LP as faithfully as possible. I have not used Photoshop or any other type of photo enhancement.
This album, as with all my records, is carefully cleaned and vacuum dried on a Loricraft record cleaning machine using L'Art du Son record cleaning fluid. It is then placed in a new poly-lined anti-static inner sleeve and play-tested on a state-of-the-art record playing system. It may play significantly better than I have graded it on a lower resolution system.
To protect the LP in transit it will be packed in a new cruciform LP mailer with stiffening card inserts. The LP and inner sleeve will be packed outside of the cover to protect against seam splits during transit. Unless requested otherwise I will send all records by 2nd class recorded delivery which has limited insurance.
Please see my other auctions, I will be listing several rare and interesting LPs over the next few weeks.
