STEELY DAN - Katy Lied - Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab - Original Master Recording (MFSL 1-007) NM / VG++
The above album is from my 400+ record album collection, rock music mostly, from the late 70's into the 80's, that was purchased new, piece by piece, and has been stored away for many years. I sort of lost interest in listening to music shortly after I got married and started raising a family in the late 80's. Now I'm planning to retire overseas and it's time to find a new home for my collection.
Each record album received excellent care and handling. It was handled by the edges only and cleaned with D-3 Discwasher cleaning fluid (including the sylus) prior to being played. My turntable of choice was a Micro Seiki DD-40 manual turntable using audiophile quality stereo cartridges i.e. Shure Type IV, Grado F-9, Dynavector 20B, and lastly I owned the Audio Technical AT440MLA when I tried to rekindle an interest, to no avail I may add, about 5-6 years ago.
I have critically inspected each album that I am offering up for sale with a dual light source and magnifying glass using the Goldmine Guide for grading criteria as shown below:
- NM = Near mint. Highest grade for an opened record. The record may only have been played once or twice. As the original and only owner, I was very meticulous in how I handled it. The vinyl is extra clean and shiny with virtually no signs of wear. Cover is also very clean appearing and well preserved.
- EX or VG++ = Very Good++. Only slight signs of wear; still very clean, with a few very light surface marks which won't distract from the sound. Cover also has only slight wear and will still be in strong collectible condition.
- VG+ = Very Good+. Shows some signs of being used, but has still been well cared for. It may have light surface wear and a little record noise at times such as during soft passages. Overall it should still play well. Cover may have some wear or light ring wear but does not have any serious damage or defects.
- VG = Very Good. A more used record with some overall wear and light marks in the vinyl. There should be no skips while playing the record. Cover will have some wear, seam wear, ring wear, or a price sticker.
- VG- (VG Minus) I normally don't offer records in this condition unless it is truly rare. It will have some scratches or overall wear, and might play with a lot of noise. The cover would have heavy wear, ring wear, and may have some tearing or splitting. If I were selling a lot of several records I would add it to such a collection to, say, round out a collection for a given recording artist.
Your purchase will receive TLC in the packaging:
- Your LP will be cleaned using the MKII Spin-Clean Record Washer System
- The album will be placed inside a MFSL anti-static original master sleeve.
- The album and cover will then be sandwiched between two cardboard protectors
- Everything will be packed inside a premium LP Album box mailer.
Well, that about it. Thank you for looking. I now invite you to consider making a bid on this audiophile quality album.
