SUPERB MINT AUDIO
MINT SLEEVE WITH INNER
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLUE LABELS ARE IN JUST MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS ON IT ANYWHERE. IT ALSO STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALSO IN PRISTINE UNRUBBED CONDITION, WITH EACH LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
A CLOSE STUDY OF THE SPINDLE HOLES REVEALS JUST ONE VISIBLE SPIDER LINE ON EACH SIDE
THE VINYL
GLEAMING DISC THAT HAVE RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN.
WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORD SHOWS ONLY A FEW VERY TINY WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE RICH AND POWERFUL STEREO SOUND IS JUST MAGNIFICENT AND PURE FIRST PRESS. THE REPRODUCTION IS JUST SECOND TO NONE, AND EVERY NOTE IS CLEAR AND CRISP.
THE FIRST THING TO STATE IS THAT IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT SHOWING THAT THE LITTLE PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THE RECORDING IS A VERY LOUD STEREO CUT AND IS REPRODUCED SUPERBLY.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE
SILENT LINKING GROOVES AND I ONLY HEARD A COUPLE OF RANDOM SPECKS OF VERY LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND
NO TICS OR POPS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT
BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, JUST HIT THE PLAY BUTTONS AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE AND YOU CAN HEAR THE WHOLE THING AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN FLAT AND CLEAN CONDITION, AND THE COLOURS ARE RICH, VIBRANT AND UNFADED.
THERE ARE NO CREASES ANYWHERE
NO RING WEAR WHATSOEVER, AND NO RECORD SHAPE.

THERE IS JUST ONE TINY PRESSURE LINE AGAINST THE SPINE. ONE ON THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EGDE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FULLY COLOURED AND UNBLEMISHED . TOTALLY SMOOTH ALL THE WAY ACROSS, WITH PERFECT COLOUR. JUST A SLIVER OF RUB ON THE BOTTOM REAR CORNER
THE SPINE IS FLAT HAVING ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY INTACT, THE TOP AND BOTTOM ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED AND THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME LOVELY CONDITION AS THE FRONT

THE PICTURE INNER HAS NO SPLITS OR CREASES.
THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS
