MFSL STYX THE GRAND ILLUSION ORIGINAL MASTER RECORDING

$

29

VERY RARE ALBUM OF THE GRAND ILLUSION BY STYX IN EXCELLENT CONDITION BY MOBILE FIDELITY SOUND LABS (MFSL). I am the original owner of this album (bought it as a teenager in high shool) and have played it no more than 5 times. All original components are there with only some slight related wear due to storage and age-related patina. Includes album in the original protective rice sleeve, cardboard insert with information on orginal master recordings, outer album cover, and plastic bag. The record is in great shape.

Original master recordings were the 'gold standard' of the day in terms of recording and sound reproduction that was available with minimal distortion. These audiophile recordings were produced from pressing plates produced at half-speed from the original master studio tape. The records are made from 100% virgin vinyl, and are translucent when viewed in front of a light source.
