Still my favorite sounding pressing of this masterpiece.

Please note: the cover has a very minor corner ding on the bottom right and a 2" split seam at the bottom - see photos. As with most of these Japanese-pressed MoFi releases from the 80's, there are a few tics and pops here and there, but overall they are clean pressings. I want to be fully transparent (as I am with all my listings) as this is a very collectible album. 


ULTRASONICALLY CLEANED - PLEASE READ MY CLEANING PROCESS BELOW

Record has been played on a properly calibrated ProJect 2Xperience turntable with a Sumiko Songbird cartridge (just upgraded to the Ortofon MC X40 - wow!) This is actually one of my treasured vinyl possessions, but the time has come to sell off some of my 6,000+ records.

MY CLEANING PROCESS

Every album, whether I purchased it new or used, gets the same cleaning process. The record(s) you are purchasing has undergone this process, unless it is still sealed. 
> Each side is cleaned with Terri-Kleen fluid using a MoFi cleaning brush. Used records get cleaned a bit longer.
> All fluid is vacuumed off using an Okki Noki record cleaning machine.
> The record is then ultrasonically cleaned using a Degritter MkII record cleaning machine. Most records get a 3 cycle clean, audiophile and rare records get the maximum 4 cycle cleaning.
> The Degritter MkII then dries the record - no cloth drying here, which often creates static electricity.
> The records go in a new inner rice paper inner sleeve. MFSL records get a new MFSL sleeve. What's the point of cleaning a record and then putting it back in the same dirty sleeve?
> Records are put in a new outer sleeve to protect the covers, unless specified. New records do not get outer sleeves - they are still in the shrink wrap.
> All records are shipped OUTSIDE of the cover to help prevent split seams. New records are not. If you would like a sealed record to be shipped outside of the sleeve, just let me know. Of course I have to open the record in order to do this, so it is technically no longer new after that. 
I ship USPS Media Mail. If you would prefer FedEx or UPS, let me know and I will add that option to the listing. Additional shipping charges are your responsibility. Check my feedback - As a collector with over 6000 albums in my personal collection, I know how to properly ship vinyl records.
