SUPERTRAMP - CRIME OF THE CENTURY - MFSL SEALED LP - This is a MFSL Super Virgin Vinyl  200 GRAM UHQR JVC Half-Speed Japanese BOX SET Pressing.  THESE WERE VERY LIMITED PRESSINGS FROM THE 80'S. THEY WERE THE FIRST EVER HEAVY VINYL AUDIOPHILE PRESSINGS. IT'S A TRUE COLLECTORS DREAM TO OWN ONE OF THESE MASTERPIECES.

THIS IS FROM THE PRIVATE COLLECTION OF HERB BELKIN ONE OF THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THE ORIGINAL WHO DIED OVER A DECADE AGO. THIS IS IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE SEALED CONDITION AND HAS THE POTENTIAL OF BEING VERY LOW NUMBERED IN THE 5000 PIECE PRESSING.

THE UHQR BY MFSL WERE THE MOST TECHNOLOGICALLY-ADVANCED RECORD CONCEIVED. THE OVERALL SONIC IMPACT IS STARTLING, FEATURING EXTREMELY SPECIFIC IMAGING, GREATLY EXPANED FREQUENCY AND VASTLY IMPROVED CHANNEL SEPARATION. THE UHQR WEIGHS MORE THAN TWICE AS MUCH AS A CONVENTIONAL LP AND TAKES MORE THAN 10 TIMES LONGER TO PRESS. AS A RESULT, IT CONTAINS FAR MORE HIGH FIDELITY INFORMATION WITHIN ITS GROOVES. EACH UHQR IS ELEGANTLY BOXES AND PROTECTIVELY PACKAGED. PRESSINGS WERE STRICTLY LIMITED TO 5000 EDITIONS, EACH ONE HAND NUMBERED FOR AUTHENTICITY. 

A recording from the Victor Company of Japan for state of the art audiophile pressings.

The punishment befits the crime, and a quarter of a century later, Supertramp have been forgiven by critics. Quite why they induced such negative press seems unjustified, as 'Bloody Well Right' and 'Dreamer' sound as fresh as ever. The electric piano cuts through the speakers like a knife through butter, the treble at times hurting the ear like a heavy rock guitar solo. Both Hodgson's and Davies' voices sound rich and confident, although both are quite different. Maybe the pace slackens with the slightly indulgent 'If Everyone Was Listening' and the title track, but there are enough musical highlights to recommend this for any would-be progster's wants list.
