SHEFFIELD LAB S9 LINCOLN MAYORGA DISTINGUISHED COLLEAGUES DIRECT DISC AUDIOPHILE

$

140

The cover shows light shelf wear (some rubbing on the corners).  The record is in PERFECT condition.  There are no scratches whatsoever, plays exquisitely.  I estimate it has been played less than 50 times in it's entire life.  I've stored this in an acid-free archival record sleeve.

This is the very first Direct to Disc album by Lincoln Mayorga (Sheffield S-9); was done in very small qualities of less than 1000, which is why it is so rare now over 40 years later. It was sent out to Stereo stores, and was an immediate hit as a demo record because nobody had ever made a recording that was this dynamic before. It is literally the very first modern day audiophile recording. It made people realize that recordings could sound much better than what the major labels were putting out, and it created a whole new "Audiophile" industry of Direct Disc, Half Speed, DBX and digital recordings. It is truly a piece of music history.
