Description
This is a very nice 180g stereo copy of Zubin Mehta and the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra’s recording of Richard Strauss’ Also sprach Zarathustra as issued by King Super Analogue (catalogue number K38C 70006). This copy was pressed in the Japan in 1986. The original recording was released in 1968. The record is in excellent condition with only a very tiny nick on side 1 which only results in a single tick. The record comes with the extra heavy plastic outer jacket that is typical of these fine releases. The jacket is in near mint condition with no seam splits or bends but the original owner must have treated this record with First since there is a FIRST sticker on the cover. I bought this copy used many years ago.
The record has been cleaned with Disk Doctor fluids on a VPI cleaner followed by a second cleaning with a Audio Desk Ultra sonic cleaner, and treated with LAST record preservative. More recently the records were recleaned with the latest version of the Audio Desk ultra sonic record cleaner. It has also been demagnetized with a Furutech DeMag.
The record was recently play graded using a Benz Micro LPS cartridge on a VPI Classic 4 turntable. The sound of these King Super Analogue recordings is really spacious and dynamic. The record plays generally very quietly with approximately 16 light ticks noted on side one and 23 on side two.
The recording is from my personal collection which I am in the process of reducing. Look for additional listings to come as I get time to re-listen and grade them. Multiple LPs can be combined in a shipment to save shipping costs.
