Item Description:
     Peter Gabriel Three comes as four single sided 200gm 45 RPM pressings. All LPs arrive in heavy poly sleeves with LP A1 in the high quality gatefold cover. The gatefold cover (containing LP A1) and the remaining 3 LPs (in their poly sleeves) are housed in a red box with a sheet of bubble wrap below the 4th LP and above the gatefold cover. The set comes with a Classic Records response card. If you are familiar with Classic this is the same one that comes in all of their LPs. There also are a couple of marketing things inside to complete the package. The distincive redbox has a white band horizontally centered around the box with a small adhesive dot on the rear holding the white band in place. The whole package is sealed in shrink wrap and has a couple of stickers affixed identifying the pressing type, etc.  Clarity vinyl pressings are a translucent milky white color. The unpressed side of all four LPs has the Classic Record name etched into the flat surface and other markings letting you know what you have in hand. The labels were centered well on all four LPs and the unpressed sides include a stroboscope type label to assist in checking your turntable's speed if you need such a thing.       All LPs were trimmed well and absolutely flat. The packaging and pressing quality is the best I have seen since the demise of MoFi's UHQR series of heavy weight LPs. This is as high praise that I can give any vinyl product.  The sonics on this pressing were nothing short of amazing.  This pressing includes all of the qualities a serious audiophile seeks.  Every aspect of the performance is there in beautiful detail and each noise, whatever the source, and however subtle, is included and distinctly conveyed.  The quietness of the Clarity vinyl will be valued by many audiophiles for many years.  I had high hopes for this series and have not been dissappointed.

Album Description: Generally regarded as Peter Gabriel's finest record, his third eponymous album finds him crafting an album that's artier, stronger, more song oriented than before. Consider its ominous opener, the controlled menace of "Intruder." He's never found such a scary sound, yet it's a sexy scare, onethat is undeniably alluring, and he keeps this going throughout the record. For an album so popular, it's remarkably bleak, chilly, and dark Transferred, for the first time ever, from the original 30 ips 1/4" master on Bernie Grundman's all tube cutting system, this Classic Pressing, packaged in a deluxe gatefold die cut jacket with printed inner sleeves, is the definitive LP version of this giant album. This is a rock record for anyone with good taste. 

Why Choose Classic Records Clarity 45 RPM?
The genesis of the new formula came as a result of a visit to High End Audio's self proclaimed Vinyl Guru Michael Fremer's Analog Laboratory. Mr. Fremer demonstrated a Furutech LP demagnetizer. After using the demagnetizer, vocals had so much more texture, bass definition and clarity of every nuance of the recording was vastly improved and there was more low level information than we had ever heard in the recording.
     Why did the demagnetizer had the sonic effects on a record? Very simply the carbon black that is ADDED to vinyl for LP manufacture contains trace metals that become randomly magnetized and interfere electrically with the cartridge hanging overhead during play. So... if carbon black and the trace metals contained therein caused playback distortion in the cartridge then why not take out the carbon black altogether? Classic Records Clarity SV-P II Clear Vinyl is the answer!
     Clarity Vinyl represents the ultimate in vinyl formulations because it is comprised of over 90 percent of the highest quality co-polymer available – a key component in vinyl pellets used for manufacturing vinyl records. Further, Clarity Vinyl has no carbon black additive, common in vinyl formulas for LPs. Carbon black contains trace metals that become magnetized and cause "electrical distortions" in cartridges during playback that smears the sound. By taking out the Carbon Black, Classic Records is able to dramatically reduce the "electrical distortions" and thus bring more "Clarity" to the playback process, providing a more realistic musical experience to the listener and LP enthusiast. 45-RPM records have long been recognized as providing a higher fidelity musical experience resulting purely from the cartridge being able to extract more of the nuance from the complex vertical and horizontal groove modulations in stereo LPs. Further, Classic Records 45-RPM single-sided pressings dramatically reduce the mechanical resonances created by the cartridge during playback by allowing these resonances to be more fully transmitted to and absorbed by the turntable platter. Classic Records Clarity Vinyl 45-RPM pressings are designed and manufactured to provide the lowest distortion in every aspect of LP playback resulting in putting the listener as close to the music as possible.

• Condition Code / Grading Scale: I do not grade mint for anything, vinyl is never flawless.

NM = Near Mint:

Record looks and sounds new. No scratches, surface noise, ticks or pops. If there would be any surface noise, it would be very soft. If there would be a tick or pop, it would only be one or two soft ones.

NM- = Near Mint Minus:

Record looks and sounds very acceptable. This is a record that can be enjoyed. It may have some slight visible marks and may have surface noise and a few ticks and pops, but this will still be minimal.

 VG = Very Good:

Record looks and sounds used. This record has lots of surface noise and has visible scratches. For listening or collecting it is only good as "filler".

 + = Plus: (such as VG+)

Indicates the degree of closeness to the next higher grade.
