STAGGERING MINT MINUS AUDIO

MINT SLEEVE

I SUSPECT UNPLAYED UNTIL TODAY

THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE BLUE AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED. I DONT SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE RECORDS GLEAM LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED.THE DISCS LOOK TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS, AND EVEN SPOTLIGHTS THEY STILL LOOK MINT, APART FROM SIDE TWO WHERE THERE IS ONE FAIRLY LONG SURFACE HANDLING LINE WHICH RUNS ALMOST PARALLEL TO THE GROOVE

THE TEST PLAY

THE LP'S PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON ALL FOUR SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS VINYL SOUNDS 

THE VINYL PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE, AND NO STATIC EITHER. THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT

ALL FOUR SIDES PLAY TO PERFECTION, HAVING NEVER BEEN ON A TURNTABLE UNTIL TODAY'S TEST PLAY

I DIDN'T HEAR ANY TICS OR DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH OTHER THAN 3-4 OF THE TINIEST ONES ON SIDE 2

THIS RECORD IS EASY TO GRADE MINT MINUS  FOR THE AUDIO

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

NON LAMINATED MATTE GATEFOLD SLEEVE IN SIMPLY SUPERB CONDITION

THE FRONT SURFACE IS IMMACULATE. DEEP RICH AND VIBRANT COLOURS ACROSS THE COVER.

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE AND THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE

THERE IS ONE PRESSURE LINE AGAINST THE SPINE. NONE ON THE TOP EDGE. NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAS ALL OF THE COLOUR ON BOTH SURFACES APART FROM A SMALL SCUFF ON THE REAR TOP EDGE IN THE MIDDLE. ALL EIGHT CORNER TIPS ARE MINT

THE SPINES IS ALSO LIKE NEW. FULLY COLOURED, NO FADE AND THE TEXT IS PERFECT. UNBLEMISHED ENDS

BOTH OPENING EDGES ARE RAZOR SHARP

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, NO PRESSURE LINES AND NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE. 
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO MINT INNER PANELS

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE MINT
