eBay: Capitol Records - VINYL LP BOX & BOOK - A Full Dimensional Study in High Fidelity Sound c1950s

This is a bit of an unusual item. The curious might want to window shop.......it's a really nice piece of audiophilea. I will ship this worldwide, I'm allowing 1kg for postage but you would only pay the exact cost to me. PM me if any questions There's a lot more images uploaded to eBay and you can see the tracks. It's an interesting mix, even with Les Paul on here! The vinyl is really NM for it's vintage. Check out the typography in the deadwax. That's vinyl porn that is!

A FULL DIMENSIONAL STUDY IN HIGH FIDELITY SOUND

VINYL LP + BOOKLET ON SOUND REPRODUCTION. BOXED.

PRESSED BY CAPITAL RECORDS USA c1950s (I'm guessing here?)

VINYL IS CLEAN & IN EXCELLENT CONDITION (SEE PHOTOS)

THE BOX IS FULLY INTACT. JUST A FEW MARKS ON THE BOOK.

INCLUDES PERIOD ESSAYS AND TECHNICAL ARTICLES.

AUDIOPHILE DEMONSTRATION DISC. VERY INTERESTING STUDY FOR THOSE WANTING AN APPRECIATION OF AUDIO HISTORY.

A RARE COLLECTORS ITEM.

 

cool design! well made.

 

They knew how to do it then. No Apple Mac to do the typesetting. That book would have been done via traditional Linotype and paste up. Then put through the process camera to make films to print from. Kind of suiting to the vinyl which would obviously be analogue all the way too. Not sure about how accurate the technical info is, but those old Capitol discs sound great to me. I love the font they've used in the dead wax. I should keep this really but need to declutter!

 

Cool disc! They also made a stereo demo disc along these same lines (box, book, etc.) Yes, tehy REALLY knew how to make something look really classy!

Hope someone snags this!

 

Still available at $39 now.

 

That's a beaut, for $39 just keep it and show it off to your mates!!

 

I'm de-cluttering. Trying to reduce my stuff as I could move back to UK next year.

They must have shipped a few extra down under lol! What does D16 in the wax tell us Steve? It has D20 on Side 1!

 

I just added a couple of label pics for those interested to look, but not wanting to negotiate eBay!
