Supertramp Crime of the Century. Speakers Corner Records. Rare, Sealed OOP.

$

160

Purchased originally by me and kept sealed, in a smoke free, pet free environment.  This truly is an amazing vinyl copy (as I have my own that I listen to frequently).  Much more depth than the MFSL half speed version (which I own).  Read the reviews below.... photos are of the actual item that is for sale...I have tried to highlight the mild imperfections by taking close ups.  The only other copy I see for sale anywhere, is a used copy at Acoustic Sounds for $150.  Feel free to ask any questions.
Shipping to the Lower 48 is FREE.
Shipping to Canada is 12.50

1. Anywhere else on the planet...please contact me before you bid (Will likely be between $20-35 but don't use this as a quote)

***Item is sold as is....there are no returns on sealed records***

Beats the UHQR!

My friend played some of my UHQR, and then his Speakers Corner on his Linn LP-12 based system. As we often would do, I didn't know which was which. We both concluded that the SC had even more convincing vocals, more authoritative bass, etc. The MoFi UHQR may have outshone it in one or two ways, but overall, hat's off to SC for a mighty fun listen! A great piece of demo-quality wax.

I can only echo everything that everyone has said already. The quality of this pressing is extraordinary - and I don't say that for all the SC re-issues by any means. Every possible detail has been included here, from Ken Scott's masterful production. The analogue tapes must have been in very good nick! Special highlight for me was "If Everyone Was Listening", truly took my breath away. But the whole lp is just wonderful. At last a re-issue to be truly proud of. Well done SC!
WOW!

I didn't think the original pressing could sound any better. Was I ever wrong, the soundstage is wide and deep. A phenomenal pressing.

Got my copy a couple weeks ago. Wow! blows the original out of the water that I have! You will be immersed listening to this version! I wish Speakers Corner would make more rock albums especially for this price. Don't waste your time or ton of money looking for the MOFI version of this, you don't have to! hooray!
Excellent

An excellent and flawless pressing! After receiving this I turned around and bought Breakfast In America and I'm thoroughly impressed with both recordings.
Top quality except for...

I must say that this is one of my favorite albums of all time. I have struggled for years trying to find a descent MFSL copy without spending an arm and a leg. Here it is! Sounds absolutely wonderful, best I have heard, except for one thing - at the end of side one during the outro of Asylum when only the piano is slowing fading, there is a scratch on the last ten grooves that just kind of kills that sonic nirvana I was just in. I was wondering if anyone else who has purchased this pressing has had the same problem. Was I just the lucky one that got a bad pressing or was the metal master at the factory bad? Other than that little glitch I would highly recommend this record.
Absolutely Amazing!

Reviewer: Steve
I agree with other reviewers who've expressed absolute satisfaction with this album. It is indeed one of the best, if not the best, Supertramp album I've heard. Excellent recording quality. It's among the top ten most played albums in my inventory. If you like this group, don't hesitate to buy this album.
Wow!

I had read several favorable reviews of the Speaker's Corner version besides those posted here, so my expectations were pretty high when I ordered it. The vinyl is flat, quiet, and stout. And the sonics are unlike I have ever heard before of this recording. I was simply mesmerized at the sound. My MFSL UDI digital will now be retired as my definitive version, having been replaced by this wonderful sounding edition. Per usual, Acoustic Sounds staff, ordering process, shipping & packaging were all terrific!

I noticed one other reviewer had a problem with side one's first track; my copy looked like someone set a warm iron on the same area. But the second copy proved worth it all. Superb rendering of this iconic album, which I still believe is ST at their finest. Very quiet, with excellent seperation, depth/width of soundstage, imaging, ect. So far I've been quite pleased with the titles from Speakers Corner, despite the hiccup on this.
Supertramp-super reissue!

Speakers Corner did a marvelous job on this title. Quiet vinyl as always and clean, crisp dynamics all the way through. The old Mofi reissue was good. This puts it to shame! If you're a Supertramp fan by all means get this!
Fantastic Music

Supertramp - what a fantastic band. Good quality sound on this LP. Very happy, except, something must have gone wrong with my pressing - track1 has some serious 'popping' sounds for the 1st 10 seconds or so.
One of my favorite albums

Reviewer: Leigh (Brisbane, Australia)
The sound is big and detailed. Similarly the music is at times orchestral, at times intimate. A great record to test out your system. More importantly a record in which to become completely absorbed. A most satisfying release. I have an older audiophile pressing with which I was most pleased. This release is better again.
Excellent reissue

Reviewer: Mark
In general I prefer original vinyl issues over heavy vinyl reissues. However Speakers Corner has done a great job with Supertramp's Crime of the Century. The sound is very lush and maintains the "analog magic" that so many classic rock reissues somehow lose. Compared to my original US copy, the SC version is slightly less detailed but has a much smoother sound. Recommended for those skeptical regarding reissues.
Perfect sound & classic songs!
