~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Condition: Sealed Album Cover

(Near Mint) No seam-splits, no ring wear, no edge wear.  Limited Edition # 1978 gold sticker on back cover.  A top condition example of this great Hoffman mastering.  One of the great things about Hoffman’s work on “greatest hits” albums is that he doesn’t use the greatest hits “copy-tape” used by the original record company, instead he goes back to the original master tape for each individual song whenever this is possible. 

 

So for example, if a “greatest hits” album has songs from five different albums on it, then Hoffman obtains the five original album master tapes in order to remaster the compilation album.  So each individual song you hear on the compilation is taken from the original master tape of the album on which the song first appeared.

 

Nobody else goes to that amount of trouble and extra effort, at least not back when Hoffman started doing it that way in the late 1980s.

 

Condition: Record LP

Sealed, factory new.

Track Listing:  

(please see photo)

 

 

Double-Box Packaging:

The sealed Album will be placed inside an additional new clear poly outer protective album cover, sandwiched between two album-sized cardboard stiffeners which are then carefully taped, lightly squeezing the album between the cardboard stiffener edges, enough to prevent the album from sliding up and down or side to side, to prevent seam splits to the sealed album during transit.  The album is packaged in a record LP mailer box with cardboard stiffeners and sealed.  The record mailer box is then placed inside a larger heavy cardboard (200Lb. Test) shipping box, surrounded by foam peanuts.  Your record album will be packaged safely and insured. (see photos below)

Packaging Photos:

These are the packaging materials and sequence:

1) First a layer of foam peanuts in the large outer shipping box, the brand new box is 200Lb test heavy cardboard.




2) Next the album, sealed inside a standard Record Mailer box, with cardboard stiffeners (the way most sellers ship albums) is placed on the layer of foam peanuts.




3) Every side of the Record Mailer box has approximately 1” of foam peanuts for padding protection. 




4) Final layer of foam peanuts, filled to the top.




5) Large outer box sealed.




6) Comparison photo #1 showing a Bob Dylan album cover (NOT INCLUDED!) on top of standard white Record Mailer box, on top of large outer shipping box.

 


7) Comparison photo #2 again showing a Bob Dylan album cover (not included!) on top of a white standard Record Mailer box, which is sitting on top of the large outer shipping box, to demonstrate how the standard Record Mailer box is barely larger than your valuable LP, providing little protection.
