Description
This is a difficult to find very low serial number #0149 of 5000 of Mobile Fidelity's Supertramp 'Crime of the Century' UHQR release. This has the 'narrow deadwax' pressing only present in titles somewhere below the first 1000 pressed, after which they moved to a pressing with much wider deadwax bands on both sides. The 'narrow deadwax' version is highly sought after for the sound quality of that pressing. This is a 1981 reissue of the original Supertramp 1974 release, with MFSL catalog number MFQR 1-005 from their premium UHQR 33 rpm 200g line of releases with JVC Super Vinyl.
This box set has been opened but overall in very good shape. The vinyl has been ultrasonically cleaned and is in VG+ condition, with some audible but not huge amount of surface noise noticeable primarily during quiet passages. Overall fidelity is extraordinary, this is a legendary MoFi pressing. Some noticeable scuffing and wear on the box cover, please see pics. The inserts are in very good shape, with some scuffing on the cardboard white sleeve, and the original rice paper record sleeve has been replaced by a recent MoFi rice paper sleeve.
US bidders only, free shipping within the 48 lower states, please contact for shipping charges to Alaska or Hawaii. The vinyl records in their protective MFSL sleeve will be removed from the cardboard jackets and carefully packed to avoid seam splits, and will be shipped via Fedex, tracked and insured. Thanks for bidding on this record!!
