Description
The very first direct disc from Sheffiled that virtually created the so-called audiophile record market! It was done way back in 1968, as an experiment. Only 500-600 copies were pressed and they were sent to hi-fi stores as demonstration. It created such sensational response and request that helped Sheffield Lab launch their very successful run of business. It is understandably very rare any many audiophile have not even seen or heard it. I had to persuade the stereo store owner to sell me his only copy by buying a turntable plus some sweet talking! Last time another copy was sold on eBay was back in 2013! You are welcome to search for another copy to see the asking price! This copy obviously was used but not abused. It's not in mint condition but still plays quite well and should be treasured as an important witness to the recording history.
Producer: Douglas Sax, Lincoln Mayorga
Engeers: Larry Brown
Recording location: Consinental Sound Studios; The mastering Lab, Hollywood, CA
Record condition: EX+/VG+ then EX+ (S.1 has some light rubbing marks but plays without ticks; S.2 has some light hairlines and plays with occasional light ticks in two tracks)
Cover condition: EX+ (general wear and a corner bump)
Note: I'm a collector, not a dealer. The reason I'm selling is to downsize my collection. Every record I offer was hand-picked based on its merits on music, performance, and sonics (not necessarily in that order!). I will list recording credentials such as producer, engineer, venue, date, etc. as I believe as an educated buyer, these will offer crucial info for an unfamiliar record to make a buying judgement. Hope you'll find this useful!
