The Eagles
Hotel California
DCC Virgin Vinyl, 180 grams
Mastered by Steve Hoffman, from the original master tapes!
Very Rare Low Numbered Copy 298 !!
Steve Hoffman mastered vinyl is the definitive way to hear this timeless music. Minimal EQ’ing in the mastering stage to let the master tape sound come through with his famous “breath of life”, This is in my opinion the finest way to hear this seminal rock recording; great dynamics, midrange, in room presence.
Vinyl Condition: EXC to NM conservatively graded. Play graded on my Stax Omega 2 headphones and revealing Zyx cartridge. The electrostatic headphones and low output cart are very revealing. A record that plays back very nicely, with maybe 3-4 tics. On side 2 there is some very quiet surface noise in the lead in groove that goes into the first song for roughly the first 15 seconds.
Jacket: VG+. A very nice gatefold jacket except for a small tear about 1” in the second part of the gatefold cover. There is also a seam split on the bottom of the gatefold. Photographed above.
Other: Has the original outer plastic sleeve with the DCC gold embossed sticker. Includes the original Hotel California insert. As well as the fold out insert with pictures of the band members on a nice textured paper mimicking the original pressing. Record is in the original rice paper poly sleeve.
About me: All of my vinyl is played back on a high end turntable with a very new moving coil cartridge. These pressings have been played a few times at most. I’ve sold plenty of high end vinyl on Ebay and other forums.
I set myself apart from other vinyl sellers in that I play grade my vinyl, as we all know there is more to a record than just how it looks.
Grading scale: NM, EXC, VG+, VG, G, P
I will be adding more play graded DCC vinyl every Sunday evening, so check back.
Shipping: packed in a vinyl LP cardboard mailer with the record taken out of the jacket.
