Deodato 2 Stereo LP CTI Records CTI 6029 RCA OMPC This tube has black platesI just cleaned this double album on my VPI 16. 5 record cleaner and then played it on my Rega Planar Three with an Ortofon X5 MC cartridge. I am listening as I write and this album sounds very good with only an occasional click and pop. An 8 out of ten. This is the version of "Also Sprach Zarathustra" that would be on the soundtrack of "Being There" if they had issued a soundtrack. MOST FORMS OF SHIPPING EXCEPT MEDIA MAIL ARE AUTOMATICALLY INSURED UP
