Still Sealed Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs MFQR 1-005 Supertramp Crime of the Century . This album was purchased about 30 years ago and is in virtually the same condition as when I bought it. Unknown Limited Edition number out of 5000 produced because it has never been opened. Please examine the photos carefully for exact condition. Understand that it is difficult to take "studio quality" photos due to the cellophane reflections, but I have tried my best. I can see one about 2 inch seam separation on the back bottom side seam - see photos. There is a small nick in the plastic on the top front to the left of "Original" - see photo. The cellophane is a little "wrinkled" (not separated) on the bottom left edge and back bottom right edge - see photos. There is a slight corner rub with black color missing on the corner closest to "MFQR 1-005" - see photo. This type of harder plastic covering does "fade" just a little and may have the tiniest of nicks in it. The plastic does show what I would describe as slight "rub marks", but nothing that shows abuse or takes away from the Still Sealed beauty. The bottom line is that the hard plastic covering is not "Perfect", but is in great overall condition. Please contact me prior to bidding if you need additional information or photos. If you wish to examine the album in person in Naples, Florida, then I will be happy to show it to you. If you need a "Perfect" album (which I have never seen) then please do not bid. I have tried to be accurate. I have sold on ebay for over 10 years with overwhelming positive feedback, but recently was burned by 2 dealers who left untrue feedback even after I gave them a full refund for their fictional complaints because I would not further compensate them in violation of ebay policy. Research showed these 2 dealers routinely buy inexpensive items from others and then burn them in the ratings. I am including Free USPS Priority Mail Shipping with Insurance on this album. If you have a shipping issue it will have to be addressed through USPS. There are no returns allowed on this album. Again, please contact me for any additional information you need. If you are a normal and reasonable buyer then you will be completely satisfied with my album. I have an opened copy of this album and can honestly say that on an audiophile system it will blow you away. As great as the MFSL half-speeds are, even they are put to shame by the UHQR. See my other auctions for other MFSL UHQRs and Albums. Thanks for bidding and have a great day ebaying! Track Listing 1. School 2. Bloody Well Right 3. Hide In Your Shell 4. Asylum 5. Dreamer 6. Rudy 7. If Everyone Was Listening 8. Crime of the Century Details Playing Time: 43 min. Distributor: Universal Distribution Recording Type: Studio Recording Mode: Stereo Album Notes Supertramp: Roger Hodgson (vocals, guitar, piano); John Anthony Helliwell (vocals, saxophone, clarinet); Richard Davies (vocals, harmonica, keyboards); Dougie Thomson (bass); Bob C. Benberg (drums, percussion). Producers: Ken Scott, Supertramp. Reissue producer: Beth Stempel. Recorded at Trident, Ramport Studios and Scorpion Sound, London, England between February & June 1974. The punishment befits the crime, and a quarter of a century later, Supertramp have been forgiven by critics. Quite why they induced such negative press seems unjustified, as 'Bloody Well Right' and 'Dreamer' sound as fresh as ever. The electric piano cuts through the speakers like a knife through butter, the treble at times hurting the ear like a heavy rock guitar solo. Both Hodgson's and Davies' voices sound rich and confident, although both are quite different. Maybe the pace slackens with the slightly indulgent 'If Everyone Was Listening' and the title track, but there are enough musical highlights to recommend this for any would-be '90s wants list.
