It has been play tested before listing on my Linn Sondek turntable,through Quad amps to Spendor speakers-

Results-

Incredible Sound and condition!

Absolute minimum background noise throughout both sides.

One of the quietest LPs I have ever heard!

There is one little tic in the first track on side 2 (Danny's All-Star Joint) and 2 small tics at the end of the third track on side 2 (Weasel And The White Boys Cool).This could just of been a little dust in the groove.Apart from that it is totaly silent!Amazing!

Near Mint playback(listen to sound clips)

The Perfectly flat vinyl looks visually in mint condition.There are no surface marks at all! 

Both are perfectly clean with lovely mirror like surfaces.

IT PLAYS AND SOUNDS SUPERB--LOUD AND POWERFUL AS IT SHOULD FOR A NIMBUS SERIES LP.

Both labels are in Near Mint condition(see pics)

Original Inner Polly lined sleeve is in excellent condition.

I tend to be over critical of a records condition as it is not my intention to misrepresent what I am selling.  I want the buyer to feel what they have bought is as described!

I HAVE RECORDED BOTH SIDES OF THIS SUPERB LP FOR YOU TO LISTEN TO BELOW(this is in mp3 format and is not a true reflection on how good this LP sounds,it is just a guide to the condition that it is in.

A lovely rare LP!

Nimbus Supercut

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 magazines 'Practical Hi-fi' and 'Hi-fi Today' in the early 1980s. Nimbus mastered each release from the original master tapes using the best available mastering processes. Infact, Nimbus employed many techniques for each release that were not commonly used. For example, generally when bass moves from channel to channel on an LP, groove modulation is employed to reduce the movement of the stylus and this results in this bass being centered more over both channels. Most audiophiles would argue that this - and in fact anything, which changes the original recording should be avoided although this is common practice on most LPs. For example, the release of 'Joan Armatrading' had bass moving from channel to channel in several places, but Nimbus did not limit this, resulting in an outstanding pressing. 

Nimbus also had the ICI company produce an extremely pure vinyl for the LPs, which has amazing frequency reproduction and is virtually noise free - similar in quality to the 'super vinyl' used on earlier Mofi pressings. Due to their rarity and small pressing quantities, 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 investments by some audiophiles. Other releases included Pink Floyd's 'Wish You Were Here', `Rickie Lee Jones`,Beatles 'Sgt Pepper' and Wings 'Band on the Run' and many other excellent titles.
