Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab limited edition half speed mastered LP

Plated and pressed on High Definition Super Vinyl
by Victor Company of Japan Ltd. (JVC)

Part of a public radio station library that I acquired years ago.

Not since Reiner’s outings with the Chicago had anyone heard this kind of command of the orchestra and its forces - And Solti certainly commands here, the end result becoming just about everyone’s favorite Beethoven 9th.
.
Both the 1966 UK DECCA Recording and this MFSL 1/2 Speed Master, both from the original master tapes, are on Harry Pearson's TAS ("The Absolute Sound") Super List of all-time best Recorded LPs.

Vinyl kept inside dust-free, anti-static inner sleeves.
LP housed in archival mylar seal-flap outer sleeve.

All records packed with vinyl (inside inner sleeve) behind cover - and shipped in strong LP mailer boxes with bubble-wrap around all sides - sandwiched between stiff corrugated flats for best protection in the mail.

Please be aware that these important supplies add to my shipping costs - of which only a very small amount is added into the shipping charge.
My LP packing is considered to be among the very best on eBay. I would have it no other way.

SHIPPING RATES
...All packages are sent insured (at my own cost)

USA
Media Mail: $4.00 •//• or Priority Mail: $9.00
Most of my customers prefer Media Mail because it is very cheap. Please keep in mind that it's cheap because it is SLOW; most Media Mail packages take a week to travel 30 miles and around two weeks to travel cross-country. Sometimes it can arrive cross-country in 5 days - sometimes it takes a month. Due to Postal Service conditions, the actual arrival time cannot be known in advance.
Additional LPs in same shipment: $1.00 each
Combine buys to save on shipping.
