Unlike new MFSL records, this version was actually cut from the original 1976 master recording tape in 1978. This is also the original release cover with the non-italic banner text. This version also has some very rare inserts, including a survey, which I have not seen on any other MFSL release. I received this from my A&M/Janus rep, who was taken to Japan to see the JVC cutting center/pressing plant and brought back several cases of unshrinked LPs to distribute as promos. This LP has never been removed from the rice paper sleeve, or played. The cover shows some wear from multiple moves since I received it. Please examine pics carefully. If you would like additional pics, don't hesitate to ask.
From the insert: "We do not de-horn our metal parts, for fear of destroying high frequencies and transients. Therefore, it may be necessary to play our discs several times, to eliminate minor snaps and ticks that may appear. Your stylus will "polish" the groove surfaces.........Enjoy!"
Will be shipped in a new sealed outer sleeve, in a custom mailer via USPS Priority Mail.
