Description
A FANTASTIC CHANCE TO OWN A STUNNING BEATLES MOBILE FIDELITY SOUND LABS (MFSL) COPY OF THE BANDS RELEASE ENTITLED "RUBBER SOUL".
THESE MFSL RECORDINGS REALLY NEED NO GREAT INTRODUCTION. THE MFSL NAME IS SYNONYMOUS WITH FIRST GRADE RECORDINGS. THE USE OF THE HIGHEST GRADE MATERIALS AND CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY MAKE THESE THE BEST AUDIO QUALITY ALBUMS EVER TO COME ON THE MARKET. I DON'T THINK ANYBODY WOULD DISPUTE THAT.
THIS PARTICULAR COPY IS FROM THE BEATLES BOX-SET, "THE COLLECTION". EACH OF THESE SETS WAS A VERY LIMITED EDITION OF 25,000 WORLDWIDE, AND EACH WAS PRESSED IN JAPAN (MFSL PRESSINGS FROM JAPAN ALWAYS HAD THE EDGE ON USA PRESSINGS DUE TO MORE EXACTING QUALITY CONTROL PROCEEDURES). RECORDED AT HALF THE NORMAL SPEED, AND DIRECT FROM THE MASTER TAPES, THIS ALBUM DISPLAYS GREATER DETAIL, EXTENDED RANGE AND SUPERB CLARITY.
I HAVE BROKEN UP A BOX-SET TO SELL EACH ALBUM INDIVIDUALLY. EVERY ONE OF THEM (THE WHITE ALBUM IS 2 ALBUMS ie 2 DISCS IN SEPERATE COVERS), IS BEING LISTED ON EBAY TODAY, AND EVERY ONE OF THEM HAS BEEN PLAYED TWICE ONLY, FOR RECORDING PURPOSES. THE REASON I HAVE SPLIT UP THE BOX-SET IS THAT IT CAME SUPPLIED TO MYSELF WITHOUT ITS GEODISC, AND COLOUR BOOK. THEREFORE ITS VALUE AS A SET WAS GREATLY DIMINISHED. HOWEVER, SOLD SEPERATELY, THEY SHOULD FIND THEIR TRUE MARKET VALUE, AND IT GIVES EVERYBODY A CHANCE TO FILL IN ANY GAPS IN THEIR BEATLES COLLECTION.
THIS COPY IS IN VERY NEAR MINT CONDITION. THIS IS A BREAKDOWN OF WHAT IS ON OFFER:-
THE COVER: IN VERY NEAR MINT CONDITION. HEAVY DUTY CONSTRUCTION. HIGH GLOSS FINISH AND COVER PHOTO IS OF THE ORIGINAL MASTER TAPE ITSELF. NO STORAGE WEAR. PERFECT SPINE. SMALL ROUND STICKER (TOP LEFT) THAT SAYS "FIRST". THIS IS A COMPOUND THAT HAS BEEN APPLIED TO THE ALBUM, AND REDUCES STATIC AND WEAR. HAS NO EFFECT WHATSOEVER ON THE AUDIO QUALITY.
THE INNER SLEEVE: IN 2 PARTS. THERE IS THE NORMAL MFSL RICE PAPER/POLYTHENE ANTI-STATIC SLEEVE. AS WELL AS THIS, IS A HEAVY PROTECTIVE WRAP-AROUND CARD THAT HAS "THE BEATLES-THE COLLECTION! EMBLAZENED ACROSS IT. THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD THE GOOD SENSE TO TAKE GREAT CARE OF THESE, AND ALSO PLAYED THESE ONCE AND RECORDED THEM. THE WRAP-ROUND COVER IS NEAR MINT THE INNER SLEEVE HAS MINOR WRINKLING, SO EXCELLENT PLUS.
LABELS AND VINYLS: LABELS ARE VERY NEAR MINT. NOT A MARK, SPOT OR BLEMISH. THE VINYLS LIKEWISE, ARE NEAR MINT. LIKE MIRRORS. DEEP GLOSSY SHEEN. WITHOUT A FAULT.
HOW DOES IT SOUND?: THE RECORDING THAT I HAVE HAD PROFESSIONALLY MADE IS JUST OUT OF THIS WORLD. DYNAMIC, WARM AND CRYSTAL CLEAR. IF THE RECORDING SOUNDS THIS SWEET, THE ACTUAL VINYL MUST SOUND FANTASTIC. IF THERE IS SUCH A THING AS NEAR MINT SOUND, THIS MUST BE IT. PUT THIS AGAINST A STANDARD PRESSING, AND YOU WOULD THINK YOU WERE LISTENING TO A DIFFERENT RECORDING. I DON'T THINK THIS ALBUM COMES BETTER THAN THIS.
THATS PROBABLY JUST ABOUT ALL I CAN SAY ABOUT THE ALBUM. THE CONDITION IS AN ALL ROUND VERY NEAR MINT. LONG OUT OF PRESS, THESE MFSL FIRST GENERATION COPIES ARE BECOMING HARDER TO FIND IN A VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED CONDITION. THIS LOOKS AND SOUNDS THE PART. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED LISTENING PLEASURE.
AS I SAID, I AM SELLING ALL 13 (14) OF THE ALBUMS. ALL PLAYED TWICE. ALL VERY NEAR MINT. IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE ALL 14 DISCS IN A SINGLE LOT, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME AND DISCUSS THE POSSIBILITY.
PLEASE READ MY FEEDBACK RATINGS AND BID WITH CONFIDENCE.
I WILL HAPPILY POST WORLDWIDE, BUT COST MAY VARY FROM COUNTRY TO COUNTRY. WHAT I DO IS CHARGE A SET RATE, AND ANY DIFFERENCE WILL BE REFUNDED IN FULL AS SOON AS I GET THE CORRECT PRICE. I DO NOT PROFIT ON POSTAGE.
INSURANCE OR ANY OTHER NEEDS WILL BE DISCUSSED WITH THE WINNER AFTER SALE.
I WILL ANSWER ANY, AND ALL QUESTIONS AS SOON AS I SEE THEM.
RETURNS ARE NO PROBLEM IF MY DESCRIPTION DOES NOT MATCH WHAT ARRIVES. I WILL REFUND YOUR MONEY (LESS POSTAGE ONE-WAY). PLEASE NOTIFY ME ASAP THOUGH.
I PACKAGE ROBUSTLY AND TRY TO USE RE-CYCLED MATERIALS, AND POST VERY QUICKLY.
I ONLY CHARGE EXACTLY WHAT IT COSTS ME TO POST, WHETHER IT BE 1 ITEM, OR 10.
PLEASE KEEP WATCHING FOR MY FUTURE SALES. I AM REGULARLY SELLING RARE AND UNUSUAL ROCK ALBUMS OF HISTORICAL NOTE, AND WELL WORTH MARKING AS A "FAVOURITE SELLER" FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
