Description
Pink Floyd "Wish You Were Here" Half-Speed Mastered
Gorgeous EX Vinyl - most people would grade it as NM, but I'm very picky! Cover has some very minor creasing, but no split seams.

This is the pressing that the audiophiles rave about, and for good reason. Yes, it sounds amazing. However, did you know there were two different half-speed mastered pressings? And the difference is critical.
Check the label - HC 33453 was the original pressing issued, and like many of the first half-speed mastered releases from CBS, they were EQ'd incorrectly. HC 43453 was reissued shortly thereafter, and has the proper EQ. This copy is the properly EQ'd pressing. The difference is very audible.
ULTRASONICALLY CLEANED - PLEASE READ MY CLEANING PROCESS BELOW
Record has only been played on a properly calibrated ProJect 2Xperience turntable with a Sumiko Songbird cartridge. Only played once.

MY CLEANING PROCESS
Every album, whether I purchased it new or used, gets the same cleaning process. The record(s) you are purchasing has undergone this process, unless it is still sealed.
> Each side is cleaned with Terri-Kleen fluid using a MoFi cleaning brush. Used records get cleaned a bit longer.
> All fluid is vacuumed off using an Okki Noki record cleaning machine.
> The record is then ultrasonically cleaned using a Degritter MkII record cleaning machine. Most records get a 3 cycle clean, audiophile and rare records get the maximum 4 cycle cleaning.
> The Degritter MkII then dries the record - no cloth drying here, which often creates static electricity.
> The records go in a new inner rice paper inner sleeve. MFSL records get a new MFSL sleeve. What's the point of cleaning a record and then putting it back in the same dirty sleeve?
> Records are put in a new outer sleeve to protect the covers, unless specified. New records do not get outer sleeves - they are still in the shrink wrap.
> All records are shipped OUTSIDE of the cover to help prevent split seams. New records are not. If you would like a sealed record to be shipped outside of the sleeve, just let me know. Of course I have to open the record in order to do this, so it is technically no longer new after that.
I ship USPS Media Mail. If you would prefer FedEx or UPS, let me know and I will add that option to the listing. Additional shipping charges are your responsibility. Check my feedback - As a collector with over 6000 albums in my personal collection, I know how to properly ship vinyl records.
