Sun Kil Moon's masterpiece Ghosts of the Great Highway - On Caldo Verde Records/Vinyl Films. Long OOP and probably the rarest LP in the Mark Kozelek canon.
This is the VERY EARLIEST FIRST PRESSING.  
Condition - PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY
First of all, let me state that I am an "Audiophile" and that I purchase LPs on EBAY all the time.  Nothing pains me more than to receive an LP that has been misdescribed.  If you feel I have misdescribed the LP, I WILL PAY FOR YOU TO RETURN THE LP AND ISSUE A FULL REFUND.  As such, I do a visual grade under a strong lamp, and I play grade on TWO SYSTEMS.   First, I play grade on a REGA PS3-24 turntable with an EXACT cartridge, played through a MUSICAL FIDELITY  A3.2 DUAL MONO INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER, and DYANUDIO EXCITE 12 SPEAKERS.  This system picks up ANY NOISE.  The Exact Cartridge does exactly what the name suggests, plays exactly what is on the vinyl, it is extremely demanding.  Next, I play the LP on my other system which consists of a MUSIC HALL MMF - 2.2 LP turntable with a SHURE M97xE cartridge, played through a REGA BRIO AMP and KLH MODEL 5 Speakers.  This is a lower end audiophile set-up that does not pick up every detail, but is still more demanding than a BEST BUY set up. ALL LPS ARE PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED ON A VPI MACHINE BEFORE THEY ARE PLAY GRADED. So now for the details...
vinyl:  Visual Grade - STILL SEALED    Play Grade - STILL SEALED - However, I can tell you from my personal copy that if you have never heard this on LP, you will be in for a MAJOR TREAT.  This is by far the only way to hear Ghosts of the Great Highway. The sound is warm and luxurious.  It sounds like Mark and co. are in the room with you.  CD pressings tend to lose some of the dynamic range and space.  They sound compressed and tinny.  This one doesn't.  It was made to be heard in its analogue glory.  Listening to this will take you straight to the studio in which it was recorded.  The instruments are soaring.  Mark's guitar sparkles as it does in no other format.  The condition of the vinyl does not take away the stellar sound of this first pressing.
cover: STILL SEALED.  NEAR MINT - No corner bends or seam splits and that is the way it will arrive at your doorstep.  COMES W/ OBI.
