Description
I am listing a small selection of exceptional Japanese and other audiophile pressings over the next few weeks to compliment the sealed new old stock best pressings from a back room stock bough long ago, also slowly being added in my ebay store.
Arturo Benedetti MICHELANGELI in the Rachmaninov concerto N°4 & Ravel concerto in G major.
The Philharmonia orchestra are conducted by Ettore Gracis. 1st year issue from Japan with the matching gold and cream labels of the UK His Master's Voice ASD 255, and in my opinion the greatest of all the cream and gold label era lps they made!. These are definitive accounts of both works on a very rare pressing, hardly ever seen on the market. Pristine Near Mint vinyl that appears to have been barely played before the play grade, as can easily be the case with broad and deep collections, despite this being 58 years old. This lovely sounding vintage valve amp signal to lathe Japanese pressing has the curved cut flip back sleeve and picture inner and that valve warmth of golden age stereo sound is all there in a well placed soundstage and gorgeous piano tone. We in the west were taking hardly any notice of options to upgrade sound quality in the 60s, but Japanese listeners are the pioneers of audiophilia, being the first to return to valve amps, and producing some amazing equipment as well as buying up the best older examples from the west. Sleeve has age spotting only, no pen or splits, creases or bends.
Our ethos is to offer you best sounding analogue only pressings of vintage records. Here is another beauty of that type. We offer massive postage subsidies to overseas buyers on multiple purchases. i.e £1 extra per lp to a maximum of £15, then no extra charge. We pack carefully in custom made hard card boxes. If the appearance or playgrade suggests it requires it, our records are cleaned on a wash and vac machine, using art du son fluid in distilled water. This is already in a new heavy poly outer with antistatic inners added with outer sleeve and records all layered behind each other to prevent splits.price rating
