Up for auction is a Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab 200G Anadisc LP of BLOOD, SWEAT & TEARS self-titled classic album.  This is a long-time demo recording, beautifully engineered originally by Roy Halee and Fred Catero.  The copy listed here is relatively low numbered - #0286.  I purchased this copy new, just as it was going out of print.  It has only ever been played on my Rega, initially with two variants of Grado Reference cartridges, then a Shure V15 since.  It was cleaned in the past on my Nitty Gritty, and has remained clean.  The record is graded 8/10...this was never a copy I would have ever graded at least a 9, even when I first opened it.  The record is slightly dishwarped, and not 100% dead quiet.  There are a few very small marks that were on the record from when I bought it, along with a light rub from my using a then new Hunt carbon fiber brush with a bit more pressure than was needed, though its totally superficial.  The cover is graded 9-9.5/10 and is still mint.
Shipping is via your choice of USPS Media (First Class internationally) or Priority Mail.  I sell worldwide.  Message with any questions.
Please also see my listing for a brand new Mobile Fidelity gold CD of Frank Sinatra's SONGS FOR SWINGIN' LOVERS!, along with an original stereo LP of Vince Guaraldi's A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS.
This is a 7 day listing.  Thank you for your interest.  Good luck.
