Description
Rare Sheffield S9 Lincoln Mayorga & Distinguished Colleagues Direct to Disc LP
This record was play graded by listening through each side in its entirety. Both sides have clean surfaces with no scuffs and there are no spindle marks. Visually this record would probably be graded mint.
Sonically there are a few light background tics throughout. Some sections or cuts play without any background sounds. The record plays without distortion and the mentioned tics are not intrusive and over all this is still a very enjoyable album with stunning attacks from a diverse array of instruments recorded that set a standard for recording in its day. This record was highly regarded by The Absolute Sound.
The cover/jacket has no torn seams, a slight ring wear outline in the front cover and a slight label lifting on one rear top corner.The cover still is very presentable in my opinion.
Background information: I am a music collector and audiophile. Selling duplicate copies is not a lively hood but a way to help fund my wife's and my heart for serving overseas with a non-denominational non profit organization and to help get quality hard to locate records into the hands of music lovers.. I go out of my way to accurately describe the condition of anything I sell. I would not appreciate a surprise if I were buying a record and do not want you to be disappointed either.
I do not sell trashed materials. I fully play through each record I sell. Playback is through my personal stereo which has a two well respected turntables with high end moving coil and moving magnet cartridges that are painstakingly set up and maintained. I use a high resolution tube preamp and full range electrostatic speakers and additional sub woofers to grade each listing. My system is neutral and transparent and revealing. I cannot guarantee how the record will sound in your home because people use a wide array of gear set up in unique acoustic settings adjusted to personal tastes. I can spend hours and longer tweaking a cartridge. I hear minute differences in VTA, tracking force, anti skate and even the base the turntable rests upon. The way you have yours set up may highlight a certain aspect of a records character. I strive for a balanced musical set up where small differences between pressings are easily heard but the musical heart of the recording is still allowed to thrive. I only offer records that I myself would buy.
If you cannot stand any noise on an LP I ask you not to purchase anything I offer even if rated mint. I have found even new sealed pressings often to have occasional tics and pops. Occasional pops and light tics can be found on most records that visually rate mint..that is why I audio grade each LP.
I have an outstanding eBay rating so you can purchase with confidence. I will securely ship your record via UPS with required signature upon delivery to insure safe delivery. The additional charges for the required signature ($4.00) are absorbed by me but does help prevent the chance of packages being stolen from a mail box or front porch. Shipment is normally made within 24 hours of receiving your payment which should be made no longer than 24 to 48 hours after placing the winning bid. I notify you the day shipment us made and provide a tracking number so you can monitor the shipment.
Good luck with your bidding and please feel free to contact me before you place a bid if you have any questions about this item.
