Description
Beautiful near mint copy of this classic Beatles lp, very well cared for, no evidence of this one ever being played though I know I've it played it just once when I first purchased it. The cover is about as nice as you can find but for one small ding in the upper left corner when looking at the front cover.
I purchased this lp around 1993 when I discovered MFSL had pressed the entire Beatles catalogue, I was on a quest to find them all.
This one was more difficult to find than the others because it had a much shorter pressing run than the rest due to a stamper becoming damaged.
Lucky for me the prior owner's near mint description of the record in Goldmine Record Collectors magazine was accurate, with no pictures like you get today you had to put your faith and trust in the accuracy of the sellers details.
I started collecting these Mobile Fidelity Lps when they first started appearing in the record racks at the local stereo retailers back in 1979. In my area the best place to buy high end stereo equipment was Pacific Stereo. These high end stereo retailers were also the only places you would find Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab Lps being sold. Part of the quality sound check was to test the equipment you were interested in by using the immaculate new sound found on these MFSL records, there were no CDs back then. MFSL was it. They were enticingly cool, the see thru vinyl when held under a light, the beautiful sheen on the vinyl, the design of the cover (ORIGINAL MASTER RECORDING) and of course the sound quality and quietness of the vinyl. You were sold, and convinced you can only play these MFSL records on the best equipment in the store. The record deserves nothing less. Yep that was me, I'd play them a few times, then feel guilty that maybe I'm going to wear it out if I played it too much. So instead of playing them I'd put them away and look at them once in a while. then CDs arrived.
