(The picture shown in this ad is generic. The copy we are selling is SEALED.)


Factory Sealed Sheffield LP on the original Tower label. The cover is in wonderful condition for a 40+ year old record, with just a few VERY SLIGHT corner dents and ALMOST NO wear. You won't easily find a sealed one this nice, that's for sure. The thin loose plastic wrap used to seal these records back in the '70s is easily torn, but this one has survived very well with only a few tears in the shrinkwrap.
Still has the original price sticker of $8.50!   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.   This is one of my all time favorite Direct to Discs! It gets our Highest Recommendation. Such 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".

Just listen to the texture on the saxophone on Limehouse Blues -- you can really hear the leading edge transients of 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.

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.
