PLEASE NOTE: I WILL ONLY GRADE AN OPENED LP NEAR MINT (NM) IF I CAN GUARANTEE IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED (i.e. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER).  OTHERWISE, NEAR MINT MINUS (NM-) IS THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST GRADE I WILL ASSIGN AN OPENED LP.

ULTRA rare Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab Original Master Recording promotional pressing with DEMONSTRATION COPY NOT FOR RESALE stamped in gold lettering in the bottom right hand corner on the front cover, original MFSL rigid fold-out insert and high quality poly dust protector inner sleeve!!  These were pressed in Japan and released in Noverber of 1981 and are EASILY the best sounding pressing of this LP I have ever heard (and I have had well over 20 different pressings of this LP pass through my hands in my 40+ years of collecting).  This is the first time, however, that I have ever seen a promotional/demonstration copy before.  Standard MFSL pressings are hard to find but these demonstration copies are INCREDIBLY rare.  According to Popsike only a handful have EVER come up for sale in the past so don't sleep.  It will most likely be a year or two before you get another chance at owning one.  LP is VG+/VG++ with one light inaudible scratch on side 1 and cover is a nice VG+ with a small nick on top.

I USE GOLDMINE GRADING:   MINT (SEALED) NEAR MINT: LOOKS UNPLAYED VG++:  VERY VERY MINIMAL SIGNS OF USE VG+:  AVERAGE SIGNS OF USE, NOTHING DEEP, SUPERFICIAL VG:  STILL AN OK RECORD, NOISE BETWEEN SONGS GOOD: WORN BUT PLAYS FINE WITH DISTRACTING NOISE POOR:  FILLER COPY ONLY.  LOTS OF SCRATCHES
