Description
INCREDIBLE MINTminus AUDIO FROM START TO FINISH
NEAR MINT SLEEVE IN ORIGINAL SHRINKWRAP
HAS THE FREE 7" SINGLE AND THE CARD
CORRECT PRINTED CARD INNER SLEEVE
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE ON EITHER SIDE OF THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISCWHICH IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS PERFECT. . THE DISC GLEAMS IS FREE FROM ANY HANDLING MARKS ON EITHER SIDE. UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORD SHOWS JUST A FEW TINY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE VINYL PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS BOTH LOUD AND CLEAR AS A BELL WITH EVERY NOTE HEARD AS WAS INTENDED.
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE LITTLE PLAY THAT THIS LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ALL ANYWHERE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE TICS OR POPS ANYWHERE AND THE ODD TINY SPECK OF VERY LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE ABCKGROUND IN A SILENT PASSAGE OR TWO AND A LITTLE AS SIDE TWO ENDS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS
DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A FULL LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE STILL IN THE ORIGINAL SHRINK
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN WITH UNRUBBED AND UNFADED COLOURS. THIS WHITE SIDE USUALLY SUFFERS FROM HANDLING MARKS, STATINS AND AGEING, AND THIS HASN'T HAPPENED DUE TO THE PROTECTION OF THE SHRINKWRAP
. THERE ARE NO CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES, NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR FOLDS.
THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES ON THE SPINE
NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE WHEN ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT
THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER PLUS THE CORNERS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL
THE SPINE IS STILL FLAT , ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE BLACK SURFACE AND PRISTINE TYPEFACE AND UNRUBBED ENDS
THE OPENING EDGE HAS A LITTLE WAVINESS DUE TO THE TIGHTNESS OF THE SHRINK. I HAVE PLACED A STIFFENER INSIDE THE SLEEVE AND OVER TIME THIS SHOULD STRAIGHTEN IT OUT
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO MINT
THE CARD LYRIC INNER SLEEVE HAS NO CREASES OR SEAM SPLITS. THE WHITE SIDE SHOWS A FEW SMALL FOXING MOTTLES
THE 7" SINGLE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION
THE CARD IS IMMACULATE AS WELL
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
