Description
From my personal collection, this is a promotional copy of the 1980 Verve reissue of the great Ella Fitzgerald singing The Rodgers and Hart Songbook, accompanied by the Buddy Bregman Orchestra, Verve catalog No. VE-2-2519.
The vinyl is NM, with only a light surface scratch that does not affect playback on Side 1. The rest of Side 1, and the remaining three sides of this 2 LP set, are all clean and shiny, and appear virtually unplayed. The gatefold jacket is Excellent, with only light rubbing on the back cover and a promotional stamp on the upper left corner. Thanks to my meticulous two-step cleaning process, these records sound terrific.
These LPs began with nice, shiny vinyl. This was enhanced by cleaning on a VPI 16.5 record cleaning machine, and then deep-cleaning on an ultrasonic record cleaning system to reduce the amount of groove noise to extremely low levels.
Cleaning a record on a vacuum record cleaning machine such as the VPI 16.5 will remove airborne debris, dirt, fingerprint residue and other environmental contaminants the LP surfaces have accumulated over the years since it was manufactured. You can hear an immediate improvement.
The ultrasonic cleaning goes even further, removing oils, microscopic bits of dirt and even pressing lubricants from the disc mastering process that may be trapped deep within the grooves. This is the sort of debris and junk that other record cleaning systems often fail to remove. Following the ultrasonic cleaning, the LP surfaces will be quieter, perhaps quieter than most other records in your collection.
Ultrasonic cleaning of a vinyl record, especially a near mint copy such as this, removes a lot of grunge and debris from deep in the record grooves, often resulting in cleaner sound, less distortion, blacker backgrounds between notes, quieter vinyl surfaces and a lower noise floor. With proper care (maybe a light dusting with an Audioquest record brush) and really excellent playback gear, you will often hear details you never noticed before.
This two-record set will be packed in a new record mailer and ship in a protective plastic sleeve. Ships only to U.S. addresses. Thanks for reading this far, and good luck bidding.
