Description
The Beatles ?– Abbey Road
1980 Audiophile Issue from Mobile Fidelity Sound LabMFSL Half Speed Mastering by Stan Ricker. Pressed in Japan, high quality JVC vinyl.
The vinyl record is like new, unmarked and Near Mint. The audio is Mint The insert is Near Mint The original MoFi inner sleeve is Near Mint.
The sleeve has unfortunately had the edges nibbled by mice, and some of the edges and seams have beet eaten away, but the sleeve is otherwise excellent. The surfaces are very nice. but the edges are in need of a repair. It would have been close to perfect before the mice made a meal of the edges.... The record is astoundingly good, no signs of use, and the audio is superb.
