Description

This item is a rare German-import pressing of The Beatles’ 1967-1970 compilation 2-LP set, originally released on Apple Records in 1973.  This particular pressing is rare, however, for two reasons:  first, it is pressed on blue vinyl; and second, it is a DMM audiophile pressing.  DMM stands for “Direct Metal Mastering”, a process whereby the groove is cut directly into copper metal, so that transient response is greatly improved. Stampers are then plated directly from the DMM copper master, eliminating two of the three plating steps required for pressing lacquers. In short, DMM yields better detail resolution and a lower noise ratio than the traditional LP pressing method. 

Cover gatefold sleeve is worn around edges with some tears and some staining.  However, both records are MINT.  Never played.  No scratches, no warping, not even a fingerprint.
