PINK FLOYD "THE WALL" CBS HALF SPEED MASTER. AUDIOPHILE

	£		180
	$		239

THIS IS A QUITE RARE AND HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER ALBUM FROM PINK FLOYD.  THIS IS THEIR DOUBLE ALBUM "THE WALL", IN ITS BEST POSSIBLE GUISE. THIS IS THE GENUINE CBS MASTERSOUND HALF SPEED MASTERED EDITION. MFSL NEVER ISSUED A HALF SPEED MASTER OF THIS (WHY??) SO THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST RECORDING OF THIS CLASSIC THAT YOU ARE LIKELY TO FIND. PLEASE NOTE; THIS IS THE GENUINE COPY, AND NOT SOMETHING THAT IS BEING PASSED OFF AS A CBS MASTERSOUND (AS IS APPEARING ON EBAY). IT HAS ALL THE GENUINE PACKAGING AND INSERTS AND HAS NEVER EVER BEEN PRESSED ON COLOURED VINYL!!!!!

IN THEIR WISDOM, CBS HAVE MADE THIS HALF SPEED MASTER VERSION AVAILABLE. USING CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY AND THE FINEST MATERIALS, THEY HAVE COME UP WITH A COPY THAT RIVALS ANYTHING MFSL EVER PUT TOGETHER. THE DETAIL RETRIEVED FROM THESE GROOVES, THE EXTENDED RANGE IT PRODUCES ALONG WITH ITS REMARKABLE CLARITY MAKE THIS A "MUST HAVE" DOUBLE ALBUM.

THIS IS A BREAKDOWN OF ITS COMPONENT PARTS:-

THE COVER:  GRADED AS EXCELLENT AT LEAST. A COUPLE OF LIGHT (VERY) DISCOLOURATION SPOTS (THESE ARE CLEARLY VISIBLE IN MY PHOTOS, BUT I AM AMAZED MY CAMERA HAS PICKED THEM UP AND MADE THEM LOOK MUCH WORSE THAN THEY ARE....I MUST REMEMBER TO GET A CHEAPER CAMERA!). HEAVY CARD CONSTRUCTION. SHARP SQUARE CORNERS, PERFECT WIDE SPINE AND COMPLETELY UNDAMAGED OPENING EDGES. THE MEREST IMPRESSION OF THE DISCS ARE STARTING TO FORM IN A COUPLE OF PLACES, BUT IT IS NOT RINGWEAR. AN EXCEEDINGLY CLEAN AND VIRTUALLY UNMARKED EXAMPLE.

INNER SLEEVE:  COMES IN 2 ANTI-STATIC/RICE PAPER INNERS THAT ARE IN EXCELLENT UNDAMAGED ORDER. THE DOUBLE LYRIC SHEET IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. SPOTLESS WITH JUST A MINOR WRINKLE FROM HANDLING.

LABELS AND VINYLS:  LABELS ARE NIGH ON PERFECT. I STRUGGLE TO SEE ANY SPINDLE MARKS ON ANY OF THEM, EVEN IN STRONG ANGLED LIGHT. GRADED AS NEAR MINT. THE VINYL PLAYING SURFACES HAVE BEEN SO WELL CARED FOR! ALL 4 SIDES ARE VERY NEAR MINT. I HAVE TAKEN THESE OUTSIDE IN SUNLIGHT FOR EXAMINATION, AND THEY ARE VIRTUALLY WITHOUT FAULT. THE MOST MINOR NON-SOUNDING WHISPY LINES ARE PRESENT, BUT VERY FEW, AND MY WORD THEY ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE. THESE ARE ABSOLUTELY SUPERB VISUALLY.

AUDIO PERFORMANCE:  ON MY TOP END LINN/NAIM SYSTEM THESE SOUND AMAZING. CRANK UP THE VOLUME AND ENJOY THE DYNAMICS AND DETAIL THAT HALF SPEED MASTERING BRINGS TO THESE TRACKS. POWERFUL, SWEET AND FREE FROM NOISE AND ANY DEGREDATION IN SOUND QUALITY FROM AGE OR FROM BEING OVERPLAYED. I WOULD GRADE THE SOUND QUALITY AS NEAR MINT (IF THAT MAKES SENSE!) THAT IS TO SAY, THIS IS AS GOOD A RECORDING AS I HAVE HEARD. ONE FOR THE FLOYD AUDIOPHILE APPRECIATION SOCIETY!!

SO THATS IT. A TOP TOP ALBUM IN EXCELLENT (AND SOME) CONDITION, AND VERY SELDOM SEEN FOR SALE. IF YOU ARE IN THE MARKET FOR THE FLOYD ORIGINAL VERSION OF THE CBS HALF SPEED MASTER OF THIS ALBUM, THIS HAS TO BE FOR YOU!! I DO NOT BELIEVE YOU COULD FIND MUCH BETTER. DON'T MISS THIS.
