Description

   Update in response to a question: Shipping is very carefully done-I pack well, and insured (this is too valuable to send without insurance). Here is my most recent feedback on the last MFSL lp I sold (this and Abbey Road listed now (oops, Abbey Road has sold) from the same collection): 

Excellent item better than described!!!!!! Buyer:  sweatyhanes ( 462)  Jul-19-12 18:45   The BEATLES RARE MFSL LET IT BE LP in beautiful nm- condition, super clean! (#271014630004)

Here simply put is one of the toughest Beatles Lp's to come across-the MFSL series is rare and often they sell pretty high!  Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated # 10/500!!!   These do not show up very often to say the least, and in the discussion threads this version of The White Album is spoken of as the best ever issued. The sound is to die for. Paul's bass kicks ass throughout, Ringo's drums, including the bass drum comes through as never before, the guitar work on Rocky Raccoon never sounded like this in any other form I've heard, Julia Dear & Prudence are so clear and crisp with Lennon vocals that no one else could have done, Mother Nature's Son is Oh! so clean (one of my all time favorite Beatle numbers), Revolution shook my house and may be the best rock & roll song of all time! The vocals throughout are staged beautifully, and the condition overall is almost like brand new! The vinyl is shiny and looks fantastic, NM- which is about as high as I grade anything! Covers look great!  MFSL Lp cardboard Inserts are there. This was Obviously handled very very little by a super careful owner. The vinyl looks as if played maybe 2 or 3 times and shines like new. It would be tough to find a better set. No wonder people rate these with such high marks, this sounds amazing, and so clean! Test played on my Luxman with ortofon super OM 30 cartridge piped through separates and Bose 901's. Absoultely fabulous! I blasted this and frankly struggled with letting it go!!
