RARE SUPERB SINEAD O'CONNOR Universal Mother Scarce and becoming very hard to find especially in this condition genuine Original 1994 1st Press UK 9-track vinyl LP, her 3rd studio album housed in a semi glossy picture sleeve with lyric insert. Archive quality with no need to up grade. Chen 34
PLAY GRADED:
Equipment used to test this LP was my Townshend Rock II turntable positioned on a Townshend Seismic Vibration Isolation Platform, with a Linn Ittok modified arm and Audio Technica VM95ML Shibata modified cartridge feeding through a Trilogy 906 phono stage positioned on a Townshend Seismic Sink. Amplification is a Lavardin IS amp positioned on a Townshend Seismic Vibration Isolation Platform. Speakers are bi-wired Nordost Blue Heaven Rev II Speaker Cable Impluse H6's positioned on Townshend Seismic Isolation Bars.
The LP played perfectly with virtually no noise floor, while listening there were no loud pops, skips or jumps. The music was clean and crisp. If I was marking this LP out of 10 on sound quality alone I would easily give it 10 out of 10. There was virtually no surface noise in between tracks or even on the more quieter passages truly an archive LP with no need to ever upgrade. I've heard noisier modern pressings than this 29 year old classic. Please note that this is a used item and there is always isolated static, ticks, light pops that maybe or can be heard, even in the quieter places during the play of any vinyl. There will be elements of surface noise. Please remember that this is an Original 29 year old LP.y I cannot guarantee exactly how this LP will sound on your turntable/system - Cartridge and stylus profile, tracking weight, Arm VTA, arm type all go to make a difference to the sound and performance of any LP/single being played.
THE COVER: The semi-glossy cover shows no wear to the top or bottom edges, the spine has also no wear just light creasing. The covers surface is free from any storage scuffing. All corners have no age related rounding and have just very light minimal wear plus creasing. The opening edge remains clean with no feathering. Otherwise there are no signs of any other forms of damage. So have graded the cover conservatively in NEAR MINT condition.
THE BACK COVER: The back cover reflects the front and reveals no damage at all. I have graded the back cover again in NEAR MINT condition.
THE INNER SLEEVE: The inner sleeve has been graded in NEAR MINT condition. With no signs of damage
THE VINYL: Both sides of this vinyl LP still retains all of its original lustre and sheen with no dulling and in daylight looks awesome. Even when placed under a 100w bulb there are VIRTUALLY NO hairlines marks to both sides. There are no deep scratches which can be seen or felt. I have graded the vinyl in MINT condition. The vinyl visually is flawless and in as new condition.
Side 1 in MINT condition. Side 2 in MINT condition.
