Classic Records/Columbia Stereo DUKE ELLINGTON Blues in Orbit
Legendary 1996 First Classic Records pressing -- an Audiophile Dream
RARE Original Master Recording Audiophile Pressing -- Classic Records CS 8241
Stereo 4-LP 45 RPM 180 gram set -- Still Sealed Classic first edition, first pressing (with 2 printed jackets)
Classic Records first edition (1996) virgin vinyl original master recording 180 gram 45 RPM 4 LP set UNPLAYED in beautiful Mint- (near mint) condition -- our highest grade for an opened item!  This set has been stored in a protective plastic sleeve (to protect against shelfwear) and between cardboard liners (to protect against ringwear) in a smoke & pet-free, climate controlled home. I purchased this when it was first released by Classic Records and have carefully stored and protected it ever since. This copy has never been played!

There are four 180 Gram LPs in this set. This was the first 45 RPM pressing of this legendary audiophile title, released in 1996. This album was mastered by Bernie Grundman from the original Columbia Stereo master tapes using an all analogue system and pressed on high grade virgin vinyl at RTI for the ultimate in audiophile sound. There are no cutout marks, seam splits, ringwear, abrasions, or any other issues with this item.

This 1990's Classic Records 1st pressing is FAR SUPERIOR to the later 200 gram Classic version, which like many other 200 gram Classic pressings suffered from inconsistent pressing quality and vinyl formulation issues. Only 500 of these incredible sets were ever produced!!!

While Classic Records 1990's era RTI-pressed 180 gram first pressings are on more audiophile BEST LP lists than all other audiophile pressings combined, most of Classic's later 200 gram reissues are well known to the audiophile community as highly problematic -- primarily because of Classic's bold but unfortunately poorly executed attempts to use "flat" dies, the use of a new pressing plant that had inferior equipment and poor quality control, and the use of a wide variety of vinyl formulations -- notwithstanding marketing hype to the contrary).  Even more unfortunate, just as Classic started to get a handle on these later-day issues and seemed on the verge of producing great LPs again, the company abruptly (and I think tragically for vinyl lovers everywhere) ceased production and folded.
