BELOW IS A SYNOPSIS OF THE UHQR IF YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH ITS HISTORY.

In 1981, Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab produced eight UHQR (Ultra High Quality Record) albums.

Album Box: The record album is housed in a 3/4 inch thick black cardboard box. On the inside of the cover of the box is a pouch that holds the Technical Specification Manual, and the UHQR Certificate of Authenticity. The record itself is housed in a separate inner album cover, sandwiched in between two 1/4 inch foam protectors. The inner album cover is black with "Original Master Recording." in a red strip at the top, and "UHQR By Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab" in the lower right corner. Inside the inner album cover, the record is in a static free inner sleeve.

Production Run: All MFSL UHQR albums were made in limited quantities of 5,000 numbered copies each.

Super Vinyl: MFSL UHQR records were made with Super Vinyl. Super Vinyl was produced using a highly-polymerized synthetic resin with high vinyl acetate content derived from a vinylchloride-vinylacetate coploymer. Its characteristics include superior elasticity, extreme durability, and an excellent signal-to-noise ratio. Its frequency response is so accurate that the specification of plus or minus 0.5dB is maintained over a frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz.

Technical Specifications:
Distortion: Distortion was so low on MFSL UHQR records that nearly theoretical values were achieved. Low, mid, and high range distortions were improved by 12, 10 and 6 dB or more, respectively.
Frequency Response: Frequency response on MFSL UHQR records is flat. Its accuracy is within plus or minus 0.5 dB, whereas conventional records have a frequency response of plus or minus 3 dB.
Record Quality: Production of UHQR records by MFSL produced minimal individual disc quality variations.
Surface Vibration: Mid-range disc surface vibration at 700 Hz was reduced by 10 dB.
Wear Resistance: Because MFSL UHQR records are flat, thick, and free from physical shape distortion, there is relatively little wear resistance.

UHQR Characteristics: The sound quality of UHQR records is excellent. They have solid bass, more substantive imaging, a better three-dimensional field, and greater definition of inner detail than any other record. UHQR albums are perfectly flat, eliminating tracking errors, mechanical pickup vibration, and disc surface vibration due to reproduced sound pressure from the speakers. They are also thicker than conventional records, significantly reducing disc surface vibration. These records are made with Super Vinyl, producing high forming accuracy and excellent wear resistance. Each UHQR record was pressed with an ultra precision mold on a totally unique, high precision press, developed by JVC as a result of its research with the original CD-4 disc and VHD / ADH video-disc production process. Pressing irregularities, such as "orange peel," were eliminated, resulting in reduced low frequency range distortion.

Vinyl Weight: MFSL UHQR albums were pressed on 200 gram Super Vinyl.

Also, please click on “View seller‘s other items” on the top right of this page to see what else I have listed. Combining bids lets you save on S&H charges, as you only pay one flat charge per shipment, regardless of the amount of items you win or order.

Any questions please ask by Thursday evening as I will be at the Austin Record Convention the rest of the week.

S&H is:

For 45 rpm’s (with or without picturesleeves), CD’s and magazines: $2.00 for the USA (1st class mail), Canada and Mexico, $5.50 for the rest of the world.

For 12” records: $3.00 for the USA (media mail), $12.00 for the rest of the world (First Class airmail)

This is a flat rate, if you buy more than one item so we can ship them together you only pay once. I mail out records once a week.

Insurance (for the USA only!!!) is $2.00 , registered mail (international only!!!) is $10.00 EXTRA. If you do not opt for this and you do not receive your item the only thing I can give you then is the date it was shipped and in the case of international packages the Customs Form Number. There will not be a tracking number. 99% of my packages make it without a problem within a week (3 days in the US). Another .99% gets there a little later for unknown reasons.  In over 10 years and thousands of packages shipped I have had 3 not make it at all. My feedback speaks for itself. So I am not saying get insurance or have it send registered mail (international). That is your decision. The odds are in your favor. But I can not help you if the package does not reach you and you did not chose these options.

I use the correct Bags Unlimited mailers. Additional packaging instructions may cost extra.

For any questions, please email us.We will be glad to make sure questions about condition etc. are answered as completely as possible, if requested we will email you more pictures. It helps me to answer your questions timely and include additional pictures if you do not wait until the last day of the auction to ask for this. I only do this for fun, I have a full time job so I check my emails about once a day.

If you are not happy with a purchase I will refund you the money for the item when you ship it back, including S&H, no questions asked.

Good Luck.
