Description
An extra copy from my personal anal-retentive collection: This is the 45 rpm 2 LP issue of "Explorations" mastered by Steve Hoffman and Kevin Grey at Acoustech. I paid $150 for this one from Acoustic Sounds last year when they were out of print and low on stock (which they still are as of now). I'll probably be taking a beating but you can get a copy at a sane price. The cover and vinyl are all NM (late in the run; no number sticker). I listened to this copy twice (handled very carefully) and have play-grading details below. There are no mysteries with this copy versus a sealed copy - some of these RTI pressings in this series had significant surface noise, scuffs, pops, ticks, etc. Don't pay 3 times as much for a sealed one and be really miffed when it hits your turntable.... Here's the rundown: Side A - visually great; 3-4 audible pops. Side B - A few spotty cosmetic marks (looks like mold spores, but they're not) and very light cosmetic sleeve scuff hairlines; but no audible issues. Side C - Visually and audibly great. Side D - a few very light cosmetic scuffs; 2 ticks, but generally fine. It's a very nice, typical copy from this series. Winning bidder pays $4 for media mail or $7 for priority in the U.S. I will combine shipping with my other listed items to save you $$. Thanks for looking.
