Description
Madonna Music from the year 2000. Original pressing vinyl LP. Made in England. With hype sticker. It contains "Music", "American Pie", "Don't Tell Me", "What It Feels Like For a Girl", etc. The pictures are part of the description. Please look at them carefully. Play tested. I've only played this record twice since I bought it new in 2000.
I played it today. It sounded amazing! through my Magnepan Magneplanar speakers, using my 2018 Pioneer direct drive turntable, fitted with an audio-technica, low out put moving coil cartridge (less than 100 hours of use). Madonna's voice sounds like she is right there in the room with you, very natural, very clear, very realistic, not a hint of sibilance or any other sonic artifacts (except when intended). It was obviously extremely well recorded. The music sounds awesome with deep bass. Both sides of the record look excellent under a bright light, while holding the record at a 45 degree angle. Both sides show small superficial marks. Likely from putting the record in and taking it out of its sleeve, or from being handled at the pressing plant. That's why I graded this record excellent, not Near Mint (NM or M-). I always play a record side all the way through. I never lift the stylus while it's making contact with the groove surface.
The jacket looks almost like brand new, with sharp corners. The original record sleeve, with the credits, looks good on the outside. The inside of the sleeve has yellow stains, especially at the bottom (please see photo). I think it's the glue (holding the sleeve together) that broke down and dried out over the last 26 years. It could be the natural aging and oxidation of the paper, especially if it wasn't acid free paper.
I cleaned the record with my VPI Cyclone (wash and vacuum clean) using Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs Super Record Wash. I placed the record inside a brand new inner sleeve. I put the record, in its jacket, inside a brand new re-sealable jacket outer sleeve. I've kept all my spare records in specially designed and made record plastic storage boxes, on an industrial shelf rack, in a spare bedroom for the last 30+ years.
Your LP record will be securely packaged and mailed in a specially designed and made record mailer box, which protects the edges and the corners of the record jackets during shipping. Please see photo. Free US Postal Service Media Mail shipping (2 - 8 days) within the continental USA.
Please no buyer's remorse, no false claims or or any type of dishonesty. No partial refunds. I'm not Amazon. I'm just an audiophile selling some of his surplus record collection. Thank you for your understanding. Please ask any pertinent questions before buying or making an offer.
