FOR AUCTION:  BOB MARLEY and THE WAILERS CATCH A FIRE Original Master Recording by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MFSL 1-236) on 200 Grams of High Definition Vinyl. This is a Special Limited Edition like the UHQR of 5000 copies. This is No. 3582. Not only is this a limited supply audiophile pressing. It was also made in the mid 90's and these records are impossible to find because vinyl did not sell during this time. CDs were the chosen format, because of cost (Indiana Misses You Media Play) so the vinyl didn't sell and was shipped back to the manufacturers. Those of you that collect "Grunge" vinyl know that it is very rare to see anything from 1993 - 99. The big record companies thought that vinyl was dead and as ussual they were wrong! Bands such as Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and the Third Eye Blind sold millions of CDs and yet collectors will fork over hundreds for the same release on vinyl.

Anyway, I don't have to tell the Audiophiles what a treat these are to listen to. It gets no better than an MFSL recording unless you were in studio in 1973 to witness this historic recording first hand. 

CONDITION:    Vinyl =  NM (9/10)!  Looks as if its never seen a turntable. The static free inner sleeve and heavy duty protective packaging are all here. I have even saved the original outer bag. No scratches, scuffs, pops, hiss, warping, dissapointments, etc...

Cover = The cover is in NM (9/10) condition.  Gatefold cover has no punch/bb holes, cut-outs, pen/pencil marks, creases, disappointments, etc... just a Great cover!!!

Label = Near Mint (9/10)

Grading System:

Mint = only reserved for Sealed/Perfect Lps 10/10

Near Mint =  the record may have been played once or twice on good equipment. Near Mint vinyl should sound New when dust is cleaned off and the records played with a properly aligned cartridge and good needle. A Near Mint cover should be one that either looks new or still has the shrink wrap on it. Near Mint is usually reserved for record collectors that don't mind spending premium in order to get the best quality copy of a recording. 9 out of 10

Excellent = I don't do Ex! Be weary of dealers peddling this Ex grade! It can mean everything from "frisbee" to Vg+. Its just another way to confuse record buyers on what the record will be like when recieved. No reputable "Old School" Dealer will grade anything Excellent!!!

Very Good + = VG+ is a grade that I use for most lps that have been played a handful of times with care. It may have one or two scratches (should not be feelable with finger) that DO NOT affect play or some sleeve scuffs from being pulled and played. When put on your record platter a VG+ record should sound great. There should not be background noise (when properly cleaned) or pops, skips, or any other distracment from the music. You should be able to listen to a VG+ record time and time again and enjoy it. 7,8 out of 10

Very Good =  Record has been played and played and played. Record will have background noise. Maybe a pop or skip on certain tracks. Covers will have seam splits. A pretty unattractive piece of vinyl. 4,5,6 out of 10. Unless its very rare I do not list VG records. My moto is "If you can't play and enjoy it, it ain't no good"  I grade according to Goldmine standards. I strive to keep my feedback 100% positive!!!
