Description
Audiophile Nimbus Supercut Weather Report Mysterious Traveller. When this came out in the late 70's, you had to be a reader of Practical Hifi, like jazz fusion (and possibly not already have this 1974 title, already 4 years old by then), and be bothered to send away a cheque for this via mail order offer from the magazine. They knew this limited the audience for it so about 800 were pressed. Of those how many have survived in clean condition as here?. The nimbus vinyl formula on special order from ICI back then is very very quiet, letting the mastertape do all the talking. I know this album like the back of my hand, having bought it in 1978 whilst still at school, and having heard it many hundreds of times since then. On this pressing, there is improved clarity between the very busy percussion and drumming, with a distinct metallic sparkle to the contribution of Brazilian master percussionist Dom Um Romao here. It is thrilling. This is one of the greatest Weather Report albums, and this is the greatest pressing I have ever heard. The reason I am not keeping it is mine is signed by some of the band from a later tour, otherwise this is a real highlight in someones collection, one to put on the table for a visceral experience, pretty much start to finish.
Vinyl is visually Mint minus with a fine mark that does not sound at all on my high end system, & the sleeve is Near Mint.
There are no splits, creases, pen or dirt to the sleeve. The labels are also clean, the record is flat. The playgrade is Near Mint using a high quality moving coil cartridge through a high end stereo system. This has not been played much and has retained its pristine playback.
We pack in hard card custom made new boxes.
