     MINT AUDIO - UNPLAYED BEFORE TODAY
     MINT MINUS SLEEVE WITH THE GREEN RIBBON

    PINK RIM LABELS



    THE RECORDS

     

    THE LABELS

    THE PINK RIM LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITON. THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM ANYWHERE. NO LOSS OF COLOUR, AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES, WHERE THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES

    THE VINYL

    THE ULTRA HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. THE DISCS GLEAM LIKE NEW AND HAS LOST NONE OF THEIR ORIGINAL LUSTRE

    THERE ARE NO MARKS TO BE SEEN IN DAYLIGHT, AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORDS STILL LOOKS  PRISTINE. 

    THE TEST PLAY

    THIS FIRST PRESS ALBUM PERFORMS MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH ALL FOUR SIDES. THE MOST OBVIOUS THING WHEN HEARING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME IS THE CLARITY AND LOUDNESS OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION. IT IS  JUST SUPERB. EVERY NOTE HEARD AS IT WAS INTENDED

    THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER MEANING 

    NO CRACKLING OR CLICKS EITHER

    ABSOLUTELY NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, WHICH IS VERY RARE FOR ISLAND RELATED PRESSES

    SILENT LINKING GROOVES

    NO BACKGROUND AND NO TICS OR POPS

    PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN TO THE ALBUM AND JUDGE THE QUALITY FOR YOURSELF

    I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AS MINT

     

    THE SLEEVE

     

    NON LAMINATED MATTE GATEFOLD SLEEVE FROM MACNEILL PRESS

    THIS COPY IS IN SUPERB CONDITON, AND IS WITHOUT DOUBT THE BEST I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS

    THE FRONT SURFACE IS INCREDIBLE. THE COLOUR IS JUST IMMACULATE. NO RUBBING OF FADING OTHER THAN A TINY BIT IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

     NO CREASES CREASE LINES EITHER, AND NO PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ON THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING

    THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE


    THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR OR RUBBING WHATSOEVER, AGAIN THIS IS ENTIRELY DUE TO THE PROTECTION AFFORDED THE SLEEVE. EVEN THE CORNER TIPS REMAIN UNBLEMISHED

    THE SPINE IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION.  TOTALLY FLAT AS WELL, NO SQUASHES, AND THE TOP AND BOTTOM  ENDS ARE UNRUBBED

    THE OPENING EDGES ARE BOTH RAZOR SHARPS

    THE REAR SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY MINT

    OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO MINT INNER PANELS. ONE LIGHT CREASE LINE ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER

    THE TEXTURED 12 PAGE BOOKLET IS FIRMLY STAPLED INTO THE SLEEVE AND THE PAGES ARE PERFECT

    I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT MINUS

     

    GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
