IST & ONLY NIMBUS PRESSING

Nimbus Records have achieved somewhat of a legendary status within the audiophile circle for their 'Supercut' releases, which were only available by mail order through the Hi-Fi Today magazine in the late 1970's. Nimbus mastered each release from the original master tapes using the best available mastering processes and had ICI produce an extremely pure vinyl for the LPs, which has amazing frequency reproduction and is virtually noise free. Due to their rarity and small pressing quantities of around 1,000, they are often more expensive than audiophile LPs from other labels, but the sums paid can be justified by the outstanding quality of the pressings and the fact that they tend to rise in value over time and as such are deemed as an investment.

This is the 3rd of 4 Nimbus titles I will be listing. So please check my other listings.

Wonderful album by Joan Armatrading. Released in 1976, it included Armatrading's sole Top 10 hit single, "Love and Affection". The album peaked at number 12 and was certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry.The additional detail and clarity to be found on the Nimbus version has to be heard to be believed.

CONDITION

This LP is 35 years old so I am reluctant to grade anything that old as Mint but this is a stunning beautiful archival copy.

I am incredibly fussy when it comes to condition and have searched the globe in pursuit of perfection when collecting treasured titles, often upgrading at huge cost just to get that perfect copy. I will always be 100% honest and try to mention everything however small because I know that you as a serious collector demand the same. I know only full well the dissappointment and time wasting of dealing with sellers who mislead when it comes to condition.

PACKAGING INFORMATION

This is from my own personal collection put together over the last 40 years.
All my records are stored upright with the records removed from their original sleeve and put into a new white sleeve which is then put into a stiff white protective card sleeve, this saves wear on the original inner record sleeve and prevents ringwear. The outer sleeves are then carefully put into a heavyweight plastic sleeve. This is how they will be delivered to you and will be sent in strong and secure packaging to ensure they arrive with you in the same condition as they leave me.

I'm sorry but Items of value greater than £49 must be sent Special Delivery as Royal Mail Signed For only includes compensation up to £50 so please wait for me to invoice after the auction close.

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BIDDING!

Due to a forthcoming move I have no choice but to thin my collection so these are very reluctant sales that are now looking for a good home!
