THE BOTTOM END –
M&K -
45RPM Volume 1 –
EXTREMELY RARE!
This is the very first M&K record, THE BOTTOM END, recorded in 1975 by Baaska and Scavelli, featuring Jamie Faunt and Kenny Park at M&K Sound Inc., on Wilshire Boulevard, Beverly Hills, California.
The historic session was captured at the M&K Sound store (which doubled as a studio) by store owner Ken Kreisel "live" on a 2-track analog tape machine. Mastering engineer was Allen Zentz, whose initials (AZ) are inscribed on the vinyl. (I mention this, because this famous 45RPM LP has been bootlegged overseas, and those copies do not have the “M&K” and “Az” inscribed in the deadwax.)
A world-class recording, that Ken intended to use to demonstrate how clear and deep his speakers reproduced bass, thus “the bottom end” name. As rare as audiophile LPs get, this is the third copy of this I have ever seen: Near mint, cover without major fault.
An extraordinary musical effort by one of the early audiophile manufacturers here in the States.
For other fine records, TAS picks and hard-to-finds, please see my complete list of offerings here on eBay.
Shipping and handling is $5 for up to 5 LPs shipped within the States. Internationally, $15 via airmail for the first LP, $4 each thereafter. (Canada is half that.) Boxes over 4 lbs., add another $6, because First Class is no longer available at that weight, just Priority Mail. Note, too, boxed sets of LPs require more postage.
