Description

Here is a really nice copy of the rare, limited edition and out of print Reference Recordings RR-3, Kotekan: Percussion and ....  This LP was produced by J. Tamblyn Henderson and recorded using Dr. Keith O. Johnson's unique Pressure Recording Process, which results in a recording that better reproduces the original acoustic perspective.  The great Stan Ricker performed the disc mastering.
The vinyl is Near Mint (NM), glossy and outstanding.  The jacket, sadly, is only Very Good (VG), with a sticker on the front cover, edge wear, a partial split seam and a slightly bent corner.  The vinyl was cleaned by a special process to bring out all of the sonic glories this LP possesses.

This LP 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, greater dynamic range, blacker backgrounds between notes, quieter vinyl surfaces and a lower noise floor.  With proper care (maybe an occasional light dusting with an Audioquest record brush) and really excellent playback gear, you will often hear musical details you never noticed before.
This record will ship in a new record mailer, protected by an antistatic record sleeve, a protective outer sleeve, and, where appropriate, cardboard stiffeners and bubble wrap.  This LP ships only to U.S. addresses.  Thank you for viewing this listing, and good luck bidding!
