A&M AUDIOPHILE Supertramp Paris Half Speed Japan IMPORT LP NR Very Nice

Up for bids is this very rare copy of Supertramp "Paris" ( 2 LP set w/ gatefold ).

It is an A&M Audiophile Series Limited Edition (SPj6702).

This is the special 1982 remaster of the standard 1980 album.

It is long out of print.

A&M Audiophile Series records were remastered at half speed from the original master tapes.

They are pressed on high quality virgin vinyl.

The entire process by JVC in Japan, was exactly the same for both A&M and MFSL (and during the same era).

The stunning sound for both is equally amazing.

Unlike MFSL, Canada's A&M Audiophile Series LP's (pressed in Japan) were not released in the U.S.

They trickled into U.S. record stores here and there through Import distributors.

So as limited as the MFSL albums are, the A&M Audiophile Series albums appear to be even more difficult to come by.

Compare the number of MFSL LP's with the number of A&M Audiophile LP's listed on Ebay.

 A&M released Audiophile albums by only 11 artists during its run.

Supertramp "Paris" is thought to be the rarest, and is certainly the hardest to find.

From what I understand, this is likely due to it being the only double LP release - making it costlier to produce. This would explain why there seem to be fewer of them.

Also, this is the only JVC Audiophile pressing of this remarkable album.

Making it by far the best recording of this 2 LP set.
