Description
This is from the rare and OOP "Louder, Faster, Heavier' series released in 2008.
'Louder' because the album is spaced out over 2 vinyl LPs which allows the grooves your stylus tracks to have more space for higher amplitude signals, ie it sounds louder compared to the single LP versions, while maintaining the vinyl sound (in no way related to highly compressed 'loudness wars cds)
'Faster' because it plays at a higher speed of 45rpm compared to the normal 33rpm of a usual vinyl, this gives sonic benefits. Think of how the 1st track on an LP usually sounds better than the last track on the same side because the 1st track covers more vinyl inches per rotation than the inner one, and hence can retrieve more detail.
'Heavier' because it's on heavyweight vinyl, which is audiophiles grade vinyl.
Bought this new around 2012 and only played a handful of times because I have a project turn table with the round belts and I only have the use of one hand so it was a pain to have to manually change the motor speed setting and accidentally have the entire belt come off then have to get someone to put the belt back on for me cause I can't do it myself.
Played it before listing and it sounds great. Vinyl in basically mint condition.
Any wee 'white' bits in any pics of the vinyl are just light reflections, they are not there in real life. I had to take loads of photos and did the best I could.
Comes in anti-static sleeves.
Cover mite have a few marks on it but is in really good condition considering hardly been handled once I got it. See pics and judge for your self.
Will post next day delivery within a couple days of payment.
