Description
"Time to Say Goodbye" to this never-opened, sealed review copy that I received when was was writing for Harry Pearson's magazine "The Absolute Sound" in the 1990s. "Cremonaguy" is my eBay handle; it is a reference to the town in Italy where Antonio Stradivari made violins. My real name is John Marks.
This review copy does not have a hole punched in the jacket. Furthermore, there is no UPC Bar Code to deface. So, it is like a Retail-Ready item. EXCEPT, they did not put a Hype Sticker on the loose plastic bag enclosure or over-jacket. Because it was going to a reviewer.
Here are the markers that this is an audiophile reissue, and not the original "Trinity Session" LP:
(1) The back of the jacket states, "Manufactured Under License..." So, it is not an RCA or BMG issue.
(2) There is no UPC Bar Code on the upper right hand corner of the back of the jacket.
(3) The playlist includes the added track (not found on the original LP), "Blue Moon/Song for Elvis" that leads into "Blue Moon."
(4) The LP is not shrink wrapped. It is in a loose heavy plastic bag with a tear-off strip on the side where the opening in the jacket is.
The fact that the LP is sealed is not a sign of indifference on my part. I got word that somebody else at TAS was going to write about this reissue, so I put it on a shelf, for like 26 years.
I will include an original, signed in ink Affidavit when I ship the LP out.
In view of the sealed nature of this LP, there will be no returns accepted.
EDIT: PLEASE NOTE: Please do not bid on this item if you have no idea what you are bidding on!
I think that The Trinity Session is a totally wonderful recording. But there's no getting around the fact that the original master tape at the location-live recording session in that church was an RDAT digital-audio tape (or; a Betamax tape holding audio data; the story varies).
I don't want anyone to pay good money for an LP I assume is wonderful for what it is, and then get Buyer's Remorse upon reading the credits, because they did not know the folklore, and therefore they did not know that the LP's source was digital.
The recording has always sounded very "analog" to me, but that might be in part because the recording was location-live with one microphone array, and therefore not closely multi-miked on multiple channels, and then mixed down. Which almost always induces phase errors or phase confusion. OK?
