Holst
The Planets
Sir Georg Solti
London Symphony Orchestra
In the Ultra High Quality Recordings (UHQR) series the people at Mobile Fidelity set out to create the best recordings ever made.
They chose music with terriffic sounds, The Planets.
They chose a great Master tape, Wilkinson and Pinder's Kingsway Hall Decca recording.
They produced it with a great audiophile pedigree, half speed, special plating, high definition super vinyl, etc, then charged an arm and a leg for it. As I recall it was something like (gulp) FIFTY DOLLARS. Now I see sealed copies for $500, M- for $400. This copy won't go for that in these times, but it will be one of my um, better investments.
This record was played one or two times on a Rockport table / arm / Grasshopper cartridge combo before putting on Ampex tape.
To be conservative I will rate it at Mint-. No sign of play. It plays like new. IMHO no record which has been played can be called mint.
The cover is mint- very small corner scuff, backside..A fine tip felt pen would cure it.
