RANDY NEWMAN Little Criminals
New And Sealed Audiophile Vinyl Record

Record Label: Nimbus Supercuts K56404

A Nimbus Records exclusive audiophile pressing expressly for the Readers Of Practical Hi-Fi. Extremely Limited Edition.

Nimbus Records have achieved somewhat of a legendary status within the audiophile circle for their 'Supercut' releases, which were only available by mail order through the Hi-fi magazines 'Practical Hi-fi' and 'Hi-fi Today' in the early 1980s. Nimbus mastered each release from the original master tapes using the best available mastering processes. Nimbus also had the ICI company produce an extremely pure vinyl for the LPs, which has amazing frequency reproduction and is virtually noise free - similar in quality to the 'super vinyl' used on earlier Mofi pressings. Due to their rarity and small pressing quantities, they are often more expensive than audiophile LPs from other labels, but the sums paid can be justified by the outstanding quality of the pressings and the fact that they tend to rise in value over time and as such are deemed as investments by some audiophiles.

Record is new and sealed in it's original shrink wrap. There is some sticker residue on the right above Newman's head on the front cover. Otherwise, no flaws or blemishes.

Review: Newman's most commercially successful album opens with his misunderstood masterpiece, "Short People." Of course he is not being derogatory towards people of restricted growth, that's just the way it seems. Those who understand Mr. Newman's brilliant pathos and irony know he has a heart of gold. After all, what heart of stone could write evocative material such as "Baltimore" and "I'll Be Home." It is widely known that Newman is one of America's greatest ever songwriters--if only his music could be more widely known and appreciated, and not have to rely on "helping hands" of the Eagles to escalate its US sales and chart position.
