"Respighi - Feste Romane" - Mobile Fidelity UHQR vinyl LP - No Reserve

$

88

I am the original owner, purchased new in the late 1980's from the close-out bin of "Discount Records" in Ann Arbor, Michigan (they were making space for CD's).   There was even a disparaging sign on the bin saying "REMEMBER THESE", implying they were relics in the new era of CD "perfect sound".  
My recollection is that I played the record twice, once after I bought it and recently to "sound check" the item prior to this listing. Both plays were on a high-quality well set-up turntable.  I bought this (as well as another UHQR recording also listed) but I am not really a classical music listener which explains why so few plays.
After the initial play, the recording and inserts remaining untouched in the box on the record shelf in an A/C and humidity controlled home with no pets, children or smokers.  The "sound check" was the first play in over 30 years.  These pressings deserve their reputation, the sound is superb. The record is quiet, with little apparent noise, and no skips or other issues.
Please refer to the photograph to show the inserts that are included in the box as part of the sale (including numbered authentication certificate).  Some other UHQR eBay listings have shown additional inserts such as a  "technical specification manual".  My copy (purchased new and sealed) only has what is shown in the photograph.  Perhaps additional inserts have been lost, but this is very much unlike me especially for items such as this.  More likely this box set never included these added inserts for unknown reasons. 
Record visually  in superb condition, clean with minimal dust, fingerprints, etc.   Box and inserts also are near mint with some minor dust and marks on box if looking closely.  
Will pack in outer box for safe arrival.  Usually ships same day or next day.
