Tower of Power / Direct / Sheffield Labs LAB-17 Direct-to-Disc LP Mint Vinyl!! 

LAB-17 was recorded direct-to-disc using Doug Sax’s cutting lathe.  The same one that Chad Kassem of Acoustic Sounds just purchased and restored. This direct-to-disc audiophile recording is as close to new as you can get.  If you are not familiar with Sheffield Labs or direct to disc recordings, Google them up, it’s an interesting story and a true part of the history of our hobby/obsession.   

I confess, I was an 80’s audiophile and I worked in the business, on the retail end.  Yup, I was that 20-something audio geek.  I collected anything that HP and the Absolute Sound or Stereophile anointed, rarely played them and cared for them with an insane level of passion.  I still love audio and LPs as much as ever, but the need to amass and care for a huge amount of LPs is just not there anymore.  Especially the stuff I NEVER PLAY!   There’s so much great new vinyl coming out these days, the dead wood has to go…  I bought these because of the reviews and my index card in the sleeve indicates that I played LAB-17 9 times. The LP is mint, you cannot see or hear that it is not new.  

It has always been stored properly in a protective outer sleeve, in moderate temperatures & humidity and never exposed to direct sunlight.  There are no splits or cracks on the splines or split seams.

Thanks for looking. 

PLEASE NOTE that it is being sold AS-IS with NO REFUNDS.
