   For sale is Atlanta Rhythm Section's Are You Ready!, originally released in 1979 by Polydor Records as a double album set with a gate-fold presentation. In the dead wax between the labels and the last tracks is stamped "Masterdisk" and etched "RL" and "GOL", indicating that this album was mastered at Masterdisk, N.Y.C. by Robert Ludwig, then pressed at Goldisc Recording Products, Inc. in Holbrook, N.Y. These are hallmarks of state-of-the art engineering, sought after by collectors and music lovers for their superior sound quality. I bought this record set used, professionally cleaned them on my VPI HW-17 machine and immediately put them into two MFSL archival inner sleeves. This preserve the integrity of the vinyl and any original inner sleeve(s) or insert(s) that may gave come with the release. There are no original inner sleeves with this listing. The cover is graded as VG because of corner rubs, a cut corner, ring wear and corner blunts. The vinyl is visually graded as Near Mint Minus with faint sleeve marks. I'm play grading it as Near Mint Minus because of an occasional pop. It's been played only on Audiophile equipment since I've owned it and still has a lot of life yet. I have a lot more Rock and Roll records, as well as albums of all different genres listed in my Ebay store. Please take a look. They're predominately Near Mint. Thank you for viewing my listing.    I've been collecting records for about 50 years now and have always cleaned them and put them away carefully in plastic inner sleeves. Over the years I've used Dust Bugs, Disc Washers and have finally invested in a professional VPI record cleaning machine. Now that I'm retiring, I'm selling my very esoteric collection. I'm not a professional grader of records, but will use record guides, as well as my personal experiences as a basis of my grading all records. Since grading is subjective, I will be conservative. I offer discounts for multiple sales. Photos are of the actual item for sale, not a stock photo. Please review all descriptions and photos because I do not accept returns. Thank you for looking!
