DESCRIPTION
Extremely rare Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MFSL) “Original Master Recording” High-Fidelity Cassette release of Zero – “Nothin’ Goes Here”, mastered directly from the original analog master tapes.
These MFSL cassettes were produced in very limited quantities, often for audiophile collectors, and are widely recognized for their exceptional analog warmth and dynamic range.
The album captures the improvisational California jam-band scene of the early 1990s, featuring the legendary Steve Kimock and Greg Anton, and includes standout tracks like “Tongue ’N Groove,” “Gregg’s Egg’s,” and “Tangled Hangers.”
This sealed example is especially collectible due to the MFSL black-shell format and the rare “Original Master Recording” red-bar artwork, identical in design philosophy to Mobile Fidelity’s LPs and Gold CDs of the era.
CONDITION
Tape: Factory-sealed (unplayed, untouched).
Case: Factory-sealed, never opened (tears on original shrink)
