Description
This is one of several immaculate albums I have for sale on Ebay. It is as new as a record can get! It comes with the original inner sleeve (extremely slight age marks) a VRP disc protector sleeve and the postcard! In the eighties I would purchase certain records, record them to metal tape and then archive the vinyl, this is one of those records. It has been played no more than twice. It is a rare Nimbus pressing, so for those of you in the know will appreciate the quality that you get from an album that has been pressed by this company.
In the early 1980s Nimbus produced a selection of hi-fidelity recordings from the original master tapes using the best available mastering processes. In fact, Nimbus employed many techniques for each release that were not commonly used. For example, generally when bass moves from channel to channel on an LP, groove modulation is employed to reduce the movement of the stylus and this results in this bass being centered more over both channels. Most audiophiles would argue that this - and in fact anything, which changes the original recording should be avoided although this is common practice on most LPs and with Nimbus this resulted in outstanding sound quality.
Nimbus also had the ICI company produce an extremely pure vinyl for the LPs, which has amazing frequency reproduction and is virtually noise free - similar in quality to the 'super vinyl' used on earlier Mofi pressings. Due to their rarity and small pressing quantities, they are often more expensive than audiophile LPs from other labels, but the sums paid can be justified by the outstanding quality of the pressings and the fact that they tend to rise in value over time and as such are deemed as investments by some audiophiles. Let the auction commence!
