The Beatles - Abbey Road - Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs Original Master Recording
This half-speed master from the original master tapes was pressed in Japan in 1980. Really nice VG+ copy, visually it is clean and shiny, I noticed a hairline scratch but it was too light to show in photo and has no impact on play.
My listening notes include light/faint background noise during some quiet parts, but not all, and not distracting. There is a single pop on 'Oh Darling' and a few light ticks on 'You never give me money'. Overall this is an excellent version of a legendary record, great recording quality on high-end vinyl (the vinyl looks black but if you hold it up to light it is translucent). Sounds fantastic!
The sleeve is very good, no ring wear, minimal shelf wear, corner dents (see pics), a very readable spine, and the iconic picture is clean and bright (shows very well)... However, there is a seam split about 2.5 inches on the top, hence the VG rating.
Also included is the original Mofi static free inner sleeve with rice paper and the original poster board fold out insert (used to protect the record. I also include a protective outer sleeve.
Please check out the pics.
