SUPERTRAMP CRIME OF THE CENTURY MFSL 1-005 VG+ COND. ORIGINAL MASTER RECORDING. Minor creases and wear on sleeve and corners due to age, overall great condition. Vinyl in VG+ condition, very minimal marring on side B but does not affect play.  *** Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MFSL or Mofi) was one of the first companies to release audiophile records in the late 1970s. The earlier releases from the 1970s and 1980s, were pressed on 'super vinyl', an extremely pure vinyl, so pure infact that it is translucent when held to the light and feature 'an extraordinarily quiet playing surface, extreme durability and a lifespan many times exceeding conventional pressings'. 
Virgin  vinyl - most vinyl record albums that were mass-produced used vinyl from various sources in the production of the album. This included a lot of post-consumer products such as old record albums.  The problem with this vinyl is that it had many imperfections (such as a piece of paper from the label of an old record album) these imperfections caused pops in the new album. Virgin vinyl is a term given to an album that was produced from virgin (all new ... no post-consumer) material. One way to check your album is to hold it up to a good, strong light source (preferably natural light). Virgin vinyl is translucent.
