Lester Flatt Live! Bluegrass Festival 1974 RCA Indianapolis R. Kling Pressing NM

Description: For sale is Lester Flatt Live! Bluegrass Festival, originally released in 1974 by RCA Records. In the dead wax between the labels and the last tracks is machine stamped an upper case "I", followed by what appears to be up and down slashes ending in "K", along with the matrix numbers A-2/A-1, indicating that this record was mastered by Randy Kling before an an early stamper was used to make this record at RCA Records' pressing plant located in Indianapolis, Indiana. According to Discogs.com, this album was mastered at RCA Studios, located in Nashville, Tennessee. These are hallmarks of state-of-the-art engineering, sought after by collectors and music lovers for their superior sound qualities. I bought this record used, professionally cleaned it on my VPI HW-17 machine and immediately put it into a MFSL archival inner sleeve. This protects the integrity of the vinyl and any original inner sleeve(s) or insert(s) that may have come with the release. There is no original inner sleeve with this listing. The cover is graded as Very Good Minus (VG-) because of corner blunts, edge rubs, ring wear and seam splits along the spine. The spine has paper loss and color loss at the corners from these blunts. One of the corner blunts has begun to fray. The vinyl is visually graded as Near Mint. I'm play grading it as Near Mint. It's been played only on Audiophile equipment since I've owned it and still has a lot of life yet. This is one of the best copies of this album that I have ever heard and you would be hard pressed to find one that sounds this good. This would make a great addition to anyone's collection. I have a lot more Country records as well as albums of all different genres listed in my Ebay store. Please take a look. They're predominately Near Mint. Thank you for viewing my listing. I've been collecting records for about 50 years now and have always cleaned them and put them away carefully in plastic inner sleeves. Over the years I've used Dust Bugs, Disc Washers and have finally invested in a professional VPI record cleaning machine. Now that I'm retiring, I'm selling my very esoteric collection. I'm not a professional grader of records, but will use record guides, as well as my personal experiences as a basis of my grading all records. Since grading is subjective, I will be conservative. I offer discounts for multiple sales. Photos are of the actual item for sale, not a stock photo. Please review all descriptions and photos because I do not accept returns. Thank you for looking!
