‘An Audiophile’s Dream Come True!’
Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab, proprietor of ”Original Master Recording(s)” (trade-mark),... We guarantee not to exceed more than 200,000 copies of any release. The disc cutter turntable is driven at 16⅔ rpm, and the master tape is played at exactly one-half the actual recorded speed. This half-speed disc cutting method allows the cutting stylus twice as much time to carve an accurate groove. Because our entire transfer chain (from tape deck to cutting head) is transformless,... We do not employ limiting or compression. We recently incorporated the Ortofon master disc cutting system... Our plating... Currently, the Victor Co. of Japan (JVC) performs this most arduous task... The Victor Co. of Japan (JVC) is the sole producer of this vinyl and also presses our discs.

‘Mastered At’ stands for a ‘Plated At’ role. This company, its pressing role, the record company, the limited edition format and the year of release, are derived from the inserts.

Some cardboard inserts, designed to protect the album, had no printing and were completely blank.

The LP itself is translucent (hold it up to a bright light and you can see through it).
