FACTORY SEALED!
Sheffield S10
Factory Sealed Sheffield LP on the original Tower label! You practically never see sealed copies of this album, and to find sealed early pressings is even more unusual. It appears to be inventory from a local stereo store that closed decades ago. Luckily we were able to get more than one copy, but the supply is still quite limited. This is a great album. I cut my Audiophile teeth on records like this. Some of them sound good today and some of them don't. I'm glad to say this one still does! I was selling audio equipment (Audio Research, Fulton speakers) back in those days and this was a favorite demo disc at the time. The bass drum at the end of track two would shake the foundation with a big speaker like the Fulton J. Every bit as amazing to me was the string quartet on side 2. You could actually hear the musicians breathing and turning the pages on their music stands, just as if you were actually in their "living presence". This is one of the albums that made me realize how good audio in the home could really be. In a way this was the Audiophile "Sgt. Pepper" of its day, a record that was so much better than anything else you'd ever heard it made you rethink the possibilities.This is one of our

Love Rach This is a factory sealed record, long out of print. This record cannot be guaranteed against defects of any kind once opened. This item is only sold "as is".
Here is some of the commentary from a recent Hot Stamper shootout we did for a batch of open copies we cleaned, played and evaluated.
(Obviously we can't guarantee this sealed copy will sound as good as the winner of our shootout, but you never know!)
This Sheffield Direct to Disc pressing has SUPERB SOUND! Just listen to the texture on the saxophone on Limehouse Blues -- you can really hear the leading edge transients on the brass, so important to the sound of those instruments. The strings sounds rich and full, and the drums are punchy. Track after track, the sound gets surprisingly more open and airy. The harpsichord has such great presence it jumps out of the speakers. Side Two had the best bass ever -- extending all the way into WHOMP land.
