Description
About this item: Never played and NEW copy, single LP of the Classic Records 200 gram reissue of "Procol Harum" pressed on "CLARITY VINYL SV-PII". According to other listings for this item, it was never officially released. We got this copy from an audiophile collector who bought a lot of LPs directly from Classic Records, including this and test pressings. We know this because he still had the original shipping boxes from some of the LPs he bought from them. A lot of this collection are new copies and never been played.
It comes in an open outer sleeve that has a Classic Records sticker over the opening. The sticker is still intact and has not been taken off.
Outer cover is in near mint condition.
More info about "Clarity Vinyl" from the internet: In 2008, Classic discovered that de-magnitizing black vinyl records leads to better sound in playback. The engineers at Furutech in Japan, makers of a commercial record demag machine, explained that the carbon black that was added to PVC record pellets contained trace metal that became randomly magnetized and while spinning below an electro-mechanical transducer (phono cartridge) caused electrical distortion inside a cartridge during LP playback. Hence, demagnetizing a black vinyl record dramatically reduces the electrical distortion and leads to more "Clarity" in playback. Michael Hobson, founder of Classic Records reasoned that if the carbon black were removed then the result should be more Clarity in playback. Working closely with the PVC manufacturer Kenan, Classic developed its own proprietary "Clarity Vinyl" devoid of the problems with trace magnetic particles contained in black vinyl formulas. A Clarity vinyl pressing on a flat profile die is the absolute ultimate pressing possible and even a step above the JVC UHQR black vinyl pressings.

Packaging: We ship in custom LP mailers that protect the corners of the cover and have "Fragile - Handle with Care" printed on both sides. See attached photo for an example of the mailer we use.
