Description
This is from my personal collection - I bought it new in 1980. Time to sell this and a few other MFSL and special edition LP's. Please also see my other auctions.
I am the only person that has ever handled this LP. It was lovingly played in the early 1980s on a Kenwood KD500 turntable equipped with an Infinity Black Widow Tonearm and a Micro Acoustics 2002e or Grado F1+ cartridge. A very high-end setup in those days. I can't stress enough how carefully I cared for my vinyl. Light (1.5 rotations) cleaning with a Discwasher before every play, never left out to get dusty, and always properly stored in the original sleeve and jacket. Regularly checked turntable setup (tracking force, speed, anti-skating, stylus cleanliness and condition). Baby came in 1985, so this has been on the shelf ever since.
As you can see from the photos, everything is there, is original and is in excellent condition, except it is missing the external plastic jacket cover. Unfortunately, I took the plastic off of the jacket and there are some fingerprints and minor scuffs on the jacket exterior - but no tears or major problems. The glare in the photography exaggerates the scuffs. Good spine and corners. The inside of the foldout is perfect.
The disc itself is beautiful. If I were going to guess, I'd say that I've played it between 10 and 20 times. I last played it in 1985, and it was still mint. I have no reason to believe it is not just as good today, but I don't have a turntable to be sure. To my eyes under a bright light, it looks near perfect - a couple of very small, very light scuffs and no scratches.
Shipping is going to be a simple flat $4.00 anywhere in the continental US.
