QUEEN - QUEEN II
MAGNIFICENT MINT MINUS AUDIO
FACTORY SAMPLE
MINT MINUS SLEEVE AND ANGLED`INNER
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE EMI LABELS ARE PRISTINE. TOTALLY BLEMISH FREE AND UNRUBBED. THE TYPEFACE IS ALSO MINT . THERE ARE 3-4 SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLES
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT THEY LOOK TOTALLY FLAWLESS. AND EVEN WHEN VIEWED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY, WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE
NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE DUST TICS OR POPS
I HEARD NO MORE THAN 2-3 SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A SLENT PASSAGE OR TWO
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED (INSIDE AND OUT) GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THE COLOUR IS ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE, NO RUB ANYWHERE , AND NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NO COLOUR FADING EITHER
THE LAMINATE IS SPECTACULAR. EXTREMELY GLOSSY AND NO PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINE AGAINST THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGES ARE PRISTINE. FULLY LAMINATED WITH UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE IDENTICAL
THE SPINE IS MINT FROM TOP TO BOTTOM
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS SUPERB AS THE FRONT, JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD INPRESSION
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVALS TWO PRISTINE LAMINATED WHITE PANELS
HAS THE CORRECT ANGLED CORNERED PRINTED INNER SLEEVE. AT SOMEPOINT THE ORIGINAL OWENR PLACED A SMALL PIECE OF TAPE IN THE MIDDLE TO SHUT A TINY SPLIT IN THE BOTTOM EDGE. THE TAPE HAS SINCE FALLEN OFF LEAVING THE RESIDUE
I GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
