The Eagles HOTEL CALIFORNIA Audiophile DCC 180G LP - Like New - 3 DAY

$

132

Up for auction is a DCC 180 gram LP of the classic Eagles album HOTEL CALIFORNIA mastered by Steve Hoffman and Kevin Gray.  This record is pristine and grades 9-9.5/10, cover and record (including the play grade).  It was purchased by me originally, has only been played on my Rega turntable with either a Grado Reference or Shure V15 cartridge, and treated with care and respect.  See grading scale below (with grades 9 & 10 used with good reason).  I'm a fussy collector and audiophile and do not overgrade records.  DCC LPZ-2043 (#1075).
This is a 3 day listing.  Please see my other items for sale or auction, including a mint DCC LP of Jefferson Airplane's SURREALISTIC PILLOW and a mint 180 gram Speakers Corner LP of The Moody Blues DAYS OF FUTURE PASSED.  Shipping is via your choice of USPS Media Mail or Priority Mail.  I sell worldwide.  Message with any questions, including shipping quotes, etc.
Thank you for your interest.  Good luck.
