Description

Specifics on this Item: For sale a NEW UNPLAYED RCA 45 rpm Direct to Disc of Appassionata as played on a Bosendorfer by Ikuyo Kamiya. This is considered by many to be the best recoding of piano EVER! My hubby screwed up on this one! He has had this since it was first released but did not have it in a cover protector so the cover has aged - hence the rating. The record, however, was only removed once to inspect it and clean it with his Keith Monks record cleaner. It has NEVER been played and is perfect. How do I know it was never played? The hubby NEVER plays 45 rpm records. Why? AAHHH...he has a specific way he listens. First he turns on the turntable about 5 minutes before playing a record to let the "TT come up to speed and stabilize" and he does not turn it off while changing records. It has a vacuum platter so he just turns the platter on and off to change records. The seals keep the records from scratching against the platter. He would have to wait if he changed speeds to 45 so he just never plays them (Pray for me...). We will be listing other 45 rpm records so please check our other auctions. This is a hand delivered first Edition and is perfect! RARE!
General: I am helping my husband (unityaudiobob) (1200+) sell off some of his records. Either we sell some or he has to buy me a bigger house. For years he owned Unity Audio and now owns Cerious Technologies. Unity showed at 24 straight CES shows and it was routine for record companies to give him records for demo material.
If played then on what? Micro Seiki 1500 FVG turntable, Fidelity Research arm and Lyra Etna cartridge. Yah...not going to hurt the record. He also has a Keith Monks cleaning machine that he HAS TO CLEAN EVERY TIME HE PLAYS something! My pain is your pleasure. Keeps everything perfect. Google it to find out more about the album. I am not being lazy asking you to Google it rather than trying to list everything about it. Googling it will bring up so much information and often even samples of the music so you can get a good idea of what it is like. Please check in with us as we will be listing hundreds of RARE titles and thank you so much for looking! This is RARE in this condition as so many from this period were played on junk tables. This is old enough it could have been played on a Micro Seiki 5000, Micro MD-282 Tonearm and Fidelity Research 202 cartridge. Yah this was the Hubby's "old" turntable...Don't have any idea what any of this is but he acts like I am supposed to be impressed so...I will humor him...OOOOOHHHH COOOLLL!!!!! Would I have been allowed to touch that one? I combine shipping! Each additional item shipped Internationally is only $5.00 and $2.00 domestic!
