Description

What It Is: This is the collection of Frank Sinatra's Capitol albums pressed by Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs in the early 1980s. It documents Frank's albums from 1953 to 1962 in exquisite fidelity. As with all MoFi LPs, these were mastered at half-speed and these were pressed in Japan with "exclusive Super Vinyl compound". All pressings were made from the original master tapes. I am the original owner.

Titles are:

  1. MFSL 1-130 - Swing Easy / Songs For Young Lovers
  2. MFSL 1-131 - In The Wee Small Hours
  3. MFSL 1-146 - Songs For Swingin’ Lovers
  4. MFSL 1-132 - Close To You
  5. MFSL 1-133 - A Swingin’ Affair
  6. MFSL 1-134 - Where Are You?
  7. MFSL 1-136 - Come Fly With Me
  8. MFSL 1-137 - Sings For Only The Lonely
  9. MFSL 1-138 - Come Dance With Me!
  10. MFSL 1-139 - Look To Your Heart
  11. MFSL 1-140 - No One Cares
  12. MFSL 1-086 - Nice 'n’ Easy
  13. MFSL 1-141 - Sinatra’s Swingin’ Session!
  14. MFSL 1-142 - All The Way

Details:

discs: 16 LPs
label: Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs
catalog #: see title list
country of origin: US
copyright (generally, release) year: 1983
shipping weight: about 17 pounds
shipping size: the box itself is about 13" x 13" x 6.5", so the packed box will be at least 16" x 16" x 9.5"

Condition:

Box: I'll call it VG+ for light scuffing to the lettering on the front, one hairline scratch at the bottom right of the front and one across the back and a little wear to the felt on the bottom. No dings or other wear.
Records: M-, no spindle marks, scratches, scuffs, rash, fingerprints, or other any marks to the vinyl. Flawless. I was the original owner and I know that I played each LP once on a high-end system, but you'd never know that from looking at the records. When I played it many years ago, the records played perfectly.

Grading standards:

All items are visually graded, and if they've been play graded that will be noted. I follow Goldmine grading standards. My grading is conservative, at least as good as I would expect from anyone that I would buy from.

Payment:

I accept PayPal or personal checks. Personal checks must clear before I ship. If you must return the item, it must be in the same condition that I sent it, but I will refund your full purchase price and return shipping cost within the USA (outside of the USA, I'll refund the bid price, but you must pay for return shipping unless I've made a serious error, in which case I'll pay shipping too) -- I guarantee your satisfaction.

Shipping cost and Insurance:

Within the USA: I ship via the US Postal Service. After you've won this item, I'll take the carefully packed box (sorry, don't have the original MoFi box) to the Post Office and get the specific shipping cost to your location. Please contact me for shipping to other locations. As always, if your winning bid is above $50, I will pay for insurance within the USA.

Outside of the USA: I'm willing to ship outside of the USA, the cost will be determined based on the winner's address and size and weight of the package. I usually insist on airmail for reasonable delivery time and better handling. I state the shipping size and weight in the ad so that you'll have an idea of cost, though final determination of shipping cost will occur when the auction completes. Unfortunately I can't offer free insurance as it often gets quite expensive for overseas shipment, however, I strongly advise that you select insurance as I cannot be responsible for delivery in another country.

Thanks for looking, and bidding!
