Extremely rare, out of print and difficult to find Ravel - Bolero, Le Tombeau de Couperin, Pavane pour une Infant defunte, Une Barque sur l' ocean (Reference Recordings Mastercuts RM 1001) with Stanislaw Skrowaczewski conducting the Minnesota Orchestra.
Very low pressing number - Limited Edition #00395.
Purchased new, and still in nearly new condition.
The disc looks and plays virtually new. It has only been played twice on a VPI Aries with an Ortofon Rondo Bronze moving coil cartridge. There are no scratches or any other user damage. The disc has always been protected in a rice paper sleeve.
The gatefold jacket looks nearly new and has never been fully extended. There is a very slight denting on a couple of corners and one of the edges and a very slight discoloration on the lower rear right corner (likely a manufacturing defect).
The disc was cleaned on a VPI HW-17 record cleaning machine before each play.
From the rear cover:
"Plating of the lacquers is done within a few hours of cutting, using a slow low-temperature bath to minimize adjacent-groove echo and loss of delicate high frequency information. Pressings are made with the recently developed HQ-180 process, which produces a super-flat, extra-heavy, virgin vinyl disc of unprecedented resolving power."
Disc mastering by Doug Sax, The Mastering Lab
No equalization, gain-riding or dynamic compression was used at any time.
