Nautilus was (I think they are out of business??) an audiophile
vinyl record company. Mastering at 1/2 speed gives the cutting lathe
more time to react to transient peaks in the material, resulting in
a potentially better product. Using the original master and
pressing on virgin vinyl can result in the ultimate long player.
"mint" means that if it was graded honestly, it is opened but
in perfect new condition. $125 seems like way too much.
Vinyl junkies may disagree, but I would just go with the
HDCD remastered CD.
