Rare DEEP PURPLE In Rock 1978 Holland Green Audiophile Vinyl Shrink Hype MINT

  
We use a very surgical 2-step cleaning process: step one involves surface cleaning with proprietary Nitty Gritty and Mobile Fidelity cleaning products to remove any existing dust or contaminants from the surface of the record. Step two involves a full 10 minute ultrasonic bath with anti-static and deionized cleaning products. These 2-steps very effectively remove any dormant contaminants hidden deep within the grooves of the vinyl disc.

The disc is then blown dry by the same cleaning machine before being immediately placed inside a new protective anti-static inner sleeve. We DO NOT leave the discs out to dry in a rack to collect airborne dust! We clean and re-sleeve them one at a time!

All original sleeves and inserts are included unless otherwise noted in the listing details below. All lp's will be play-graded to ensure there are no hidden issues like; ticks, pops, skips or warping. Play-grading is performed via Audio-Technica turntable with VM750SH Shibata stylus and the tonearm set at 1.5 grams. We guarantee every item we sell 100%!

Unlike many US domestic record companies, which mass produced and used recycled vinyl for their huge market, Japanese vinyl records utilized superior virgin vinyl for their pressings, which resulted in dead-quiet, audiophile-grade pressings!

Japanese mastering is also considered by many as the finest on the planet! Many Japanese lp sets include bonus tracks and special inserts, such as posters and photo pinups, typically not included with domestic releases. Japanese releases were also produced with significantly better jacket materials, and included the beautiful, highly collectible and decorative Obi strips.

These Obi strips identify the album in Japanese text, describing the artist, album contents and pricing! Some releases include special additional narrow red w/white text Obi strips identifying and commemorating a group's tour visit to Japan. Japanese lp's were not produced in huge quantities, like US editions, therefore there are significantly fewer copies left in circulation, which also means that the stampers had fewer runs, which resulted in more consistent pressing quality throughout the vinyl pressing process. As an example, the original late 1970's and early 1980's productions and issues of Mobile Fidelity vinyl pressings, were made in Japan.
