Black Sabbath Master Of Reality LP Artisan Mastering NM With Poster + 24/96 Rip

$

120

I am the original owner (bought new) of this rare original olive label pressing mastered by the legendary Artisan studio where Kevin Gray cut his chops back in the day. I have played this item less than five times since I purchased it. This is Warner Bros. Records catalog # BS 2562. Includes the record, cover, sleeve and poster! Both the vinyl and poster near mint. The insert and cover are excellent with just some creasing in the lower right of the front cover - still a beautiful pressing with no white ring wear.

Dead Wax Info:

Side A: BS-2562 39928-2 [Artisan logo]
Side B: BS-2562 39929-1 [Artisan logo]

What makes this listing unique is in addition to the vinyl album, you are also getting access to a 24bit/96kHz hi-res digital download rip of this pressing done by Jack The Ripper (JTR). Jack has been ripping vinyl for years and utilizes a top-notch analog rig and impeccable processing all done by hand thru industry leading software. Basically, this means you will have a digital version of this wonderful vinyl pressing that rivals a CD in terms of noise - clicks, pops and other abnormalities normally associated with vinyl are removed leaving only the glorious music. Information on downloading the digital rip will be sent after the return period for this item has expired. ????
