Description
Mozart Bruno Walter ?Symphonies 40 & 41. Audiophile Direct Plating Japanese Press SX-74 One Step cut. The story goes that the Original John McLure tapes were very impressive and that two or three generations of US issues had quite poor transfers to vinyl of those tapes, with compression and a reduced soundstage. This Japanese issue is of the first use of the SX74 cutting lathe, and the direct plating process that Mobile Fidelity are making a big fuss about in their $125 Ultradisc One Step issues at the moment (which they describe as innovative, where this is from 42 years before their series, and is on typically silent surfaced Japanese vinyl, which early MFSL records also used). The sound is ever so much better to this. Fully Near Mint 1974 LP with insert and in a Near mint sleeve. Only other japanese one the net at time of writing is £37 (5670 Yen) in an inferior condition sleeve, and is a second label/issue of this mastering.
Our ethos is to offer you best sounding analogue only pressings of vintage records. Here is another beauty of that type. We offer massive postage subsidies on multiple purchases. i.e £1 extra per lp to a maximum of £15, then no extra charge.
We pack carefully in custom made hard card boxes. If the appearance or playgrade suggests it requires it, our records are cleaned on a wash and vac machine, using art du son fluid.About 20 years ago I bought the complete backroom vinyl stock of a Hi Fi shop that was closing down. These were mainly well reviewed classical lps in their full priced versions, many first pressings from the 70s to the 1990s. I am now listing some of the sealed examples for the first time. These were quality control checked in the shop and then sealed in house for eventual sale (most British albums back then were not sold sealed - I know I bought them every week from the 70s onwards, so almost all the older UK albums sold nowadays as "factory sealed" were not), and those I have had for myself are all pristine and unmarked, flat and not off centre, playing perfectly, so were not the demonstration stock. They are mainly the late vinyl Decca's, plus some Phillips and EMI, and best Japanese imports, so I have unintentionally saved the best until last.
