Artist TRIADE Title 1998:LA STORIA DI SABAZIO Information Japan - King Records - 1983 - K25P-414
(country of pressing - label - year of release - number) Comments Thick gatefold cover, for initial pressing only, with insert and Obi.
The sound quality of this record is very different from the original Italian pressing, especially in the tone of the piano. It is much clearer and harder, and the original is softer and milder. The funny thing is that some Italian collectors consider that Japanese pressing has better sound quality while most Japanese collectors consider exactly opposite. So, I believe that it is worth checking this out even you have an original copy. Condition The disc is in M-, practically like new, no sign of use, no damages at all. The condition is very important for such delicate, quiet music.
Check-played all through after cleaning with VPI HW-17, not visual grading!

The cover is in EX, a 5mm tear on bottom edge (see additional photos), otherwise M-. After all, it's a paper and 25 years old. The gatefold is thick, solid and very shiny but it's fragile in the surface for the special glossy printing. You see how shiny it is, for you can see my arm pushing shutter button of my camera. I did it in this way to avoid showing you my balding head. Additional photos Click here * If the link doesn't work, feel free to ask me e-mail for photos. Postage

CAUTION about $4 shipping option. As eBay forces sellers to accept such shipping option to US, I accept it. This will be surface mail only and it may take three months to arrival. To save the weight, I will send records without ANY protective package. I mean any, items will be sent NAKED without even plastic bags. Not only your address will be written directly on the cover, but also postal stamps are glued directly on the cover. So, if you are lucky enough, you will receive trashed records months later. I am not responsible for this, it's your choice. Further to this, it still costs me more than $4! Ridiculous. Hi, hello. Thanks for your bids. This is the third day of my 8-9 days listings.
It's rather stupid to listen to all records all through to check the real condition. But I believe it's good for you. I think buying rare records should be less gambling. Almost everybody, including myself, must have experience that receiving item/s in not nice condition after paying a high price. Very disappointing. I am trying to exclude such disappointments as much as I can.
