Description
Here for your consideration is a wonderful Telarc digital recording on vinyl of two of Modest Moussorgsky's most popular works, the Mussorgsky-Ravel Pictures at an Exhibition and the Moussorgsky-Rimsky-Korsakov Night on Bald Mountain, Telarc Records catalog No. 10042, with Lorin Maazel conducting the Cleveland Orchestra.
The vinyl on this nearly 40-year-old LP is a pristine, glossy Near Mint (NM), further enhanced as explained below. The jacket is also in stunningly fantastic condition, grading out as an Excellent Plus (EX+), with only a small mark on the back cover and the slightest amount of corner wear to mar its condition.
This LP began with nice, shiny vinyl. This was enhanced by cleaning on a VPI 16.5 record cleaning machine, and then deep-cleaning on an ultrasonic record cleaning system to reduce the amount of groove noise to extremely low levels.
Cleaning a record on a vacuum record cleaning machine such as the VPI 16.5 will remove airborne debris, dirt, fingerprint residue and other environmental contaminants the LP surfaces have accumulated over the years since it was manufactured. You can hear an immediate improvement.
The ultrasonic cleaning goes even further, removing oils, microscopic bits of dirt and even pressing lubricants from the disc mastering process that may be trapped deep within the grooves. This is the sort of debris and junk that other record cleaning systems often fail to remove. Following the ultrasonic cleaning, the LP surfaces will be quieter, perhaps quieter than most other records in your collection, with the maximum dynamic range the vinyl can contain.
Ultrasonic cleaning of a vinyl record, especially a near mint copy such as this, removes a lot of grunge and debris from deep in the record grooves, often resulting in cleaner sound, less distortion, blacker backgrounds between notes, quieter vinyl surfaces and a lower noise floor. With proper care (maybe an occasional light dusting with an Audioquest record brush) and really excellent playback gear, you will often hear musical details you never noticed before.
This record will be carefully packed in a brand-new record mailer, protected by cardboard stiffeners and bubble wrap, and comes with an audiophile-style inner sleeve and a protective outer sleeve. This item ships to addresses in the U.S. only.
Thank you for viewing my listing, and good luck bidding!
