Frank Sinatra MFLS Original Master Recording Box Set #2851 Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs / Capitol Records - 1983 16 LP Limited Edition Box Set
This box set of 16 LP discs by Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs contains 17 of the albums Sinatra recorded for Capitol Records in the 1950's & 60's. One disc reproduces 2 albums that were originally issued on 10 inch LPs, hence 16 albums in this set. Each discs has a special static free sleeve inserted in a heavy duty protective jacket that reproduces the original album cover and back along with addition info on the musicians used in the recording session. Issued in a limited pressing of 10,000, this set is #2851 and was made in Japan by JVC on their proprietary Super Vinyl, an exceptionally resilient, dead-quiet vinyl compound. These records were mastered at half speed: both the tapes & the cutting lathe were run at one-half the normal speed, allowing the cutting head to cut a more accurate groove in the acetate. The finished product results in better dynamics, imaging, and tighter bass than conventional LPs.
This box set is from the estate of my late father-in-law, who was a big Sinatra fan and collector. The discs all appear to be in near-mint condition, and I suspect that they have never been played, although I can't be sure. My father-in-law was not an audiophile, and I never saw him play any LPs (the only other LPs in his belongings were another box set). He typically played music from cassette tapes or from the radio.
The exterior of the box is in good but not mint condition, although there is a slight red stain on the top that appears to be due to some color transferring from something that had been placed on top of it. Also, the clasp that holds the flap closed on the box does not appear to work.
The set does include the GEO-DISC for alignment of your cartridge.
