Description

Here for your consideration is an audiophile treat and a fabulous-sounding sonic blockbuster, Igor Stravinsky's 1919 suite from the ballet The Firebird, with Robert Shaw conducting the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, an imported pressing on the Telarc label.  The album is Telarc stereo catalog No. DG-10039.  Side Two of this disc features Alexander Borodin's Music from Prince Igor.  Both the vinyl and the jacket are Near Mint (NM), and the vinyl has been specially treated to provide this record with the best-sounding vinyl surface possible.

This LP began with nice, shiny vinyl.  This was enhanced by cleaning on a VPI 16.5 record cleaning machine, and then deep-cleaning on an ultrasonic record cleaning system to reduce the amount of groove noise to extremely low levels.  


Cleaning a record on a vacuum record cleaning machine such as the VPI 16.5 will remove airborne debris, dirt, fingerprint residue and other environmental contaminants the LP surfaces have accumulated over the years since it was manufactured.  You can hear an immediate improvement.
The ultrasonic cleaning goes even further, removing oils, microscopic bits of dirt and even pressing lubricants from the disc mastering process that may be trapped deep within the grooves.  This is the sort of debris and junk that other record cleaning systems often fail to remove.  Following the ultrasonic cleaning, the LP surfaces will be quieter, perhaps quieter than most other records in your collection.  
Ultrasonic cleaning of a vinyl record, especially a near mint copy such as this, removes a lot of grunge and debris from deep in the record grooves, often resulting in cleaner sound, less distortion, greater dynamic range, blacker backgrounds between notes, quieter vinyl surfaces and a lower noise floor.  With proper care (maybe an occasional light dusting with an Audioquest record brush) and really excellent playback gear, you will often hear musical details you never noticed before.
This record will be carefully packed in a new record mailer, protected with appropriate professional packaging materials, and will be mailed promptly after payment clears.  This LP ships to U.S. addresses only.  Thank you for viewing this listing, and good luck bidding.
