Description

I'm a record collector selling some surplus items to make room for more purchases. I never overgrade LPs and my item descriptions carefully detail all known faults.
If sold, this LP will be carefully packed in a separate, poly-lined inner sleeve to prevent any possible damage to the original sleeve or the original inner.
This is the Sundazed reissue of Forever Changes by Love, now out of print. It is very nicely mastered from the original analogue tapes by Bob Irwin who set out to reproduce the sound of the original LP.
The item is virtually as new, having been bought new by me, handled with the greatest care and played only once or twice on my audiophile hi-fi set-up. The sleeve is still in its original shrinkwrap although this has been opened to take out the LP.
The picture shows the actual item on offer.
Sundazed did two pressings of this title. The first pressing, by Brooklyn Phono, suffered from multiple quality control problems. Sundazed then had the LP re-cut at NRP (from the same mastering) and re-pressed at United Record Pressing, with somewhat better results. The item on offer here is from the second, improved, pressing.
I don't really think of Sundazed as an audiophile label and this LP isn't perfect, though for Sundazed, it's very good. It has the following manufacturing defects:
1. The playing surface is slightly marred by scuffs and blotches and the vinyl, although fairly good quality, lacks the total silence of the very highest grade vinyl used by the top audiophile labels.
2. There are two light but noticeable ticks at the end of the opening track. I have another copy of this pressing and the same ticks occur in the same place so this fault probably affects the whole pressing run.
3. There may be the very occasional, very light tick in other places but I did not notice any.
There are no other defects that I know of. There are no spindle marks on the labels, the sleeve is as new and so is the plain paper inner.
Please note that I'm also selling two other copies of this LP (see other listings if interested). 
All questions warmly welcomed.
