Description

Styx "The Grand Illusion" Audiophile Series Canadian Pressing-half speed master.  Released in 1979, this is remastered from the original master tapes and cut at half speed.  Slower cutting speed significantly improves the quality of the sound that went onto the vinyl. 

I graded this based on how it sounds.  I played the entire album on my rebuilt Technics SP 10 mk 2 with a Moerch UP-4 and my Soundsmith Carmen mk 2 cartridge.  There was a little surface noise between tracks, but otherwise this is clean and dynamic. 

See pictures for the condition of the gatefold sleeve.
