 Summary condition MFSL NM- cover/NM LP  Q4 ASD 2816 NM cover /NM- LP

MFSL Original Master Recording Tchaikovsky Symphony 6, and color stamp!!!! label ASD 2816 Quadraphonic 1972 pressing, For collectors of ASD series, here is the officially never issued label of this LP. Officially the only two labels this was issued on was the black and white or color band label, but here it is , the earlier color stamp label. This is because NEW ZEALAND and Australian pressed ASD label range, label changeovers were delayed

THE sound sample that auto started as you opened the page is of the first 4 minutes of both sides of the MFSL LP.

NOTE the lack of vinyl hum on this LP!!!!The MFSL is the half speed mastered version pressed on JVC Virgin Vinyl remastered by Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs and pressed at JVC Japan. JVC Virgin vinyl was originally developed for Quadraphonic recordings(JVC CD-4), then chosen as the preferred medium by Brad Miller when mastering his new Audiophile label MFSL in the late 70's.

You probably haven't ever seen them offered side by side in one listing, (except for the last pair I offered last year)

MFSL fans may not have even known the stock number to go looking for to listen to the original version and compare. Lets just say that even though Quad mixes were superior to stereo as they were targeting the early audiophile Market (Quad is analog version of DTS surround which Brad Miller from MFSL helped Sony to develop before his death in 1998) Let's just say the MFSL as usual, which is mastered from the original ASD EMI Stereo Master recording, definitely gives more "grunt" to this classic recording. ASD fans need to hear this if they never have heard any classical MFSL Recordings, they issued several EMI ASD including the 1812 by Previn (ASD 2894)

Condition (See Photo's)

MFSL 1-512 COVER NM minus,    Cover has only some small seam dents, and some residue tape on reverse of cover, but no damage under the tape stains so no knowing why the tape was even put near the cover in the first place!!!(see photo's 9, 10 & 11)

LP, NM CAN"T EVEN SEE ANY PAPER SCUFFS IN BRIGHT SUNLIGHT!!! possibly never played before my sampling test play Full test play revealed condition is confirmed as NM.  Record was clean and dust free,SO clean in fact I didn't wash it,  LP also has the protector insert sheet (some yellowing near edges) and the 1980 catologue insert as well as the unfilled out warranty sheet.

EMI Q4 ASD 2816  Near Mint New Zealand cover

NO SEAM SPLITS, CORNERS STILL SQUARE, no stains or yellowing, looks like it was just bought from the retailer like new!!

Q4 ASD 2816 NM minus , First Stamper codes from UK 1G/2G stampers. pressed in New Zealand from UK Stampers, plays very cleanly, fully test played , just has paper scuffs only visible in bright sunlight, IN fact it is my opinion as the MFSL is a stereo mix, and the NZ press is Quad, that it gives the MFSL a run for its money in the very short direct comparison that I gave it.  See what you think!

This listing in Australian dollars because I don't live in US or UK, and if you don't, WHAT A WASTE OF DOUBLE CONVERSIONS THAT WOULD BE!!! Also as the exchange rate is more like R.S. not U.S against our vibrant economy in sunny Australia

The keen starting price offers a great opportunity to own this great recording at a reasonable starting price.
