Description
Beautiful copy of this classic Beatles lp, the vinyl record has been very well cared and in beautiful near mint condition, there is evidence of it being played at least once by a small spindle mark on side 1 which may have been the only time it was played. The vinyl is as beautiful as the day it was pressed.
The cover doesn't show much wear but has an ugly ding on the upper left corner which is a slight distraction to the beauty of the cover.
I purchased this lp around 1993 through Goldmine Record Collectors Magazine, that's when I discovered MFSL had pressed the entire Beatles catalogue, I was on a quest to find them all. This Beatles For Sale lp arrived in the condition you see here, ding on the top left corner, the record in beautiful near mint condition, I probably played it just once if at all but I don't remember since I was really collecting them just to have them and not really to listen to.
I started collecting these Mobile Fidelity Lps when they first started appearing in the record racks at the local stereo retailers back in 1979. In my area the best place to buy high end stereo equipment was Pacific Stereo. These high end stereo retailers were also the only places you would find Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab Lps being sold. Part of the quality sound check was to test the equipment you were interested in by using the immaculate new sound found on these MFSL records, there were no CDs back then. MFSL was it. They were enticingly cool, the see thru vinyl when held under a light, the beautiful sheen on the vinyl, the design of the cover (ORIGINAL MASTER RECORDING) and of course the sound quality and quietness of the vinyl. You were sold, and convinced you can only play these MFSL records on the best equipment in the store. The record deserves nothing less. Yep that was me, I'd play them a few times, then feel guilty that maybe I'm going to wear it out if I played it too much. So instead of playing them I'd put them away and look at them once in a while. then CDs arrived.
