MFSL YES CLOSE TO THE EDGE TEST PRESSING LP MINT & RARE

$

241

I purchased this test pressing along with many others, including UHQR pressings and regular Mobile Fidelity pressings. Everything that I had purchased from this lady was sealed (except for the test pressings) and all in beautiful condition. She was a previous employee of the original company for many years, prior to their demise.  It is from a non-smoking home and has been stored and very well cared for through the years.  

The vinyl is in pristine condition. When viewed under bright and direct light there are absolutely no hairlines, scuffs, scratches...nothing. The record is ruler flat on both sides. I asked if she had played the test pressings I bought, and she advised that she had not played any of the records that I purchased. I myself have played this record *twice* on an SME based analog front end. It plays perfectly and sounds fantastic! It is dead quiet on my system from start to finish. The jacket I would conservatively grade as excellent. I believe the pictures speak for themselves. This is the best example of this album that I have ever heard. I have many different pressings of this album from which to judge as well. The matrices on this record are as the jacket indicates A1/B1.

This is a very rare record, it may be quite sometime before you see another copy up for auction again.
