Description
So, after five decades of collecting vinyl and Hi-Fi, the time has finally come to downsize. Over the next few months, with great reluctance, I will be gradually selling off my treasured collection of records, cds and hi-fi equipment. It will take a while !!! For instant sale is a superb condition copy of the very rare 'LIVE' album from 2006 by ALISON KRAUSS + UNION STATION. This is a numbered limited edition boxset version of the original album and it contains three albums and a booklet. This one is number 1172. This version was a reissue of the original album and was part of the 'ORIGINAL MASTER RECORDING' series of albums. It was pressed on top quality vinyl with half-speed mastering to produce a high quality audiophile version of the album. It really is a stunning listen with top quality sound. The overall condition is excellent verging on near mint. It looks like it has hardly been played and would be a superb addition to any record collection. The box is in excellent condition with only a few marks and a little bit of edge wear - the worst example of which you can see in photos 2, 3 and 4 - as you can see it is only slight damage. The enclosed booklet is also in excellent condition. The three records come in the original MOFI sleeves which are recommended as one of the best ways to store records. Please study all the photos to see the condition of everything for yourself. The labels are in excellent condition with virtually no 'spindle trails' indicating that the three records have hardly been played. The first two records (sides 1-4) are also in really excellent/near mint condition and play superbly in high quality with hardly any surface noise. Side 5 has something on the run-in groove and very first bit of track 1 which can be seen in photos 9 and 10. This causes some light 'crackle' at the very start but as soon as the music kicks in it cannot be heard. Side 6 has a mark on it which can be seen in photo 11. However, this is a surface mark and it doesn't seem to affect the playback of the record. Despite these faults I do think you would be hard-pressed to find a better example of this fine, rare album. The boxset will be wrapped in bubblewrap before posting to ensure that it does not get damaged on its journey. I will dispatch it in a proper record mailer and will post within one working day of purchase by Special Delivery post so that it gets on its way to you as soon as possible. Although expensive, it does guarantee next-day delivery before 1pm and, most importantly, fully insures the record which is safer for you and for me.
