Description
NOW THIS IS ANOTHER VERY SPECIAL ALBUM "FACE DANCES" BY THE WHO FROM MY OWN PERSONAL COLLECTION OF RARE AND UNUSUAL ALBUMS.
THIS IS THEIR ALBUM THAT HAS BEEN HALF SPEED MASTERED BY THE GENIUSES AT MOBILE FIDELITY SOUND LABS (MFSL). IF YOU HAVE NEVER HAD THE PRIVILIGE OF HEARING ONE OF THESE, YOU COULD BE IN FOR A TREAT (OR AT LEAST YOUR EARS WILL!) AND THIS IS THE EARLIEST PRESSING FROM THEM.
MFSL TAKE THEIR WORK MIGHTY SERIOUSLY, AND BY USING STATE OF THE ART MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES, PRODUCE A WONDERFUL PIECE OF MUSICAL FIDELITY. IF YOU HAVE A UK FIRST PRESS OF THIS ALBUM, AND PLAYED IT BACK TO BACK WITH THIS COPY, YOU WOULD BIN YOURS! THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER. LIKE COMPARING NIGHT TO DAY-EVEN ON BUDGET SYSTEMS-THE SOUND QUALITY IS HARD TO BELIEVE.
THIS COPY HAS BEEN PLAYED TWICE ONLY, TO RECORD TO OTHER MEDIUMS. IT IS LIKE A VIRGIN VINYL. TOTALLY UNMARKED. SOUND QUALITY IS CRYSTAL CLEAR. DYNAMIC ACROSS ALL FREQUENCIES. YOU CAN HEAR THE SILENCE (THAT IS TO SAY YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE HOW SILENT THE SILENT PARTS ARE!!).
SO, WHAT YOU GET HERE IS THE ROBUST HEAVY DUTY GATEFOLD COVER, THAT IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION, HOUSED IN A PLASTIC COVER.
THE POLYTHENE AND RICE PAPER INNER SLEEVE (AVOIDS DAMAGE ON REMOVAL OF DISC) IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION.
ALL OF THE MANUFACTURERS ORIGINAL INSERTS, INCLUDING LYRIC SHEET, ARE IN VERY NEAR MINT CONDITION.
THE LABELS ARE FREE OF ANY MARKS AT ALL, AND GRADED NEAR MINT.
THE VINYLS ARE FREE FROM ANY MARKS AT ALL, AND ARE GRADED AS NEAR MINT AS WELL. MY PHOTOS ARE ALL OF THE ACTUAL ITEM FOR SALE, AND YOU CAN ALMOST IDENTIFY THE TREES IN MY GARDEN FROM THE MIRRORED PLAYING SURFACES!
A SIMPLY STUNNING ALBUM. PROBABLY SOME OF THEIR BEST WORK, AND IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION. THIS HAS BEEN CHERISHED FROM DAY ONE, AND IT SHOWS BOTH VISUALLY AND IN ITS SONIC PERFORMANCE. I BOUGHT THIS FROM AN AMERICAN WHO, AS I, PLAYED ONCE TO RECORD THEN STORED IT AWAY SAFELY. ON THE TOP RIGHT CORNER OF THE LYRIC SHEET IS HIS NAME, DATE HE GOT IT, AND PRICE PAID, SO A LITTLE OF ITS HISTORY IS THERE TOO! BY THE WAY, HE PAID $14 BACK IN 1985!!
THESE ALBUMS DO COME UP FOR SALE NOW AND AGAIN, BUT I HAVE NOT COME ACROSS ONE AS GOOD AS THIS FOR MANY YEARS, AND ITS ORDER IS A TESTAMENT TO CAREFUL OWNERSHIP FROM DAY ONE.
ON SALE WITH LOW START PRICE, AND NO RESERVE. AN ALBUM OF THIS QUALITY WILL FIND ITS OWN MARKET LEVEL WITHOUT MY HELP.
I CAN TELL YOU LITTLE MORE. YOU KNOW THE ALBUM. YOU KNOW THE TRACKS. YOU KNOW THE QUALITY THAT IS ENSURED WITH AN MFSL FIRST PRESSING.
IF YOU ARE BIDDING, I WISH YOU GOOD LUCK. I CAN JUST SAY THAT ONCE THIS IS WON, THE WINNER WILL HAVE MY FULL ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND COMMENTS UNTIL THEY HAVE IT SAFELY IN THEIR HANDS.
I PACKAGE ALL MY RECORDS WITH EXTREMELY ROBUST MATERIALS, SO WILL REACH YOU IN FINE SHAPE. I POST VERY QUICKLY TOO.
PLEASE READ MY FEEDBACK. I HAVE PEOPLE COME BACK TIME AND AGAIN TO BUY, SO I MUST GET IT PRETTY MUCH RIGHT. IF THE ITEMS DO NOT MATCH MY DESCRIPTION, I OFFER A FULL REFUND UPON THE SAFE RETURN OF THE ALBUMS, SO LONG AS I HAVE BEEN INFORMED WITHIN 7 DAYS OF RECEIPT. I WILL OFFER INSURANCE OVER AND ABOVE THE POST OFFICE NORM IF REQUIRED. IF IT SELLS OVERSEAS PLEASE WAIT FOR A FINAL INVOICE, AS SOME COUNTRIES DO COST MORE THAN OTHERS!! BE ASSURED OF MY TOTAL COMMITMENT THROUGHOUT THE SALE AND AFTER SERVICE, AND I WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WHATSOEVER JUST AS SOON AS I SEE THEM. IF YOU REQUIRE EXTRA PHOTOGRAPHS, JUST LET ME KNOW. IF THE POSTAGE WORKS OUT LESS THAN QUOTED, I GIVE A FULL REFUND OF THE DIFFERENCE AS SOON AS I GET BACK FROM POSTING IT, AND INFORM YOU OF THAT. I DO NOT PROFIT ON POSTAGE.
DO NOT MISS THIS ONE. THE NEXT ONE THAT LIVES UPTO THIS COULD BE A LONG LONG WAY AWAY!!
