MINT MINUS AUDIO FROM START TO FINISH

MINT SLEEVE AND INNERS

THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE APPLE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO MARKS OR STAINS, AND A BASE COLOUR THAT IS UNBROKEN AS IT STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH SHOWS  NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES ON ANY OF THE FOUR SIDES.  THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE, AND THE LOGOS ARE UNRUBBED

 

THE VINYL

GLEAMING FIRST PRESS DISCS THAT HAVE RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT THEY LOOK TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE LP STILL LOOKS PERFECT, APART FROM A COUPLE OF VERY FINE WISPY HAIRLINES

THE TEST PLAY

THE FIRST THING TO SAY ABOUT THIS LP SET  IS THE THAT STEREO REPRODUCTION IS CRYSTAL CLEAR AND EVERY NOTE HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION THROUGH GROOVE WEAR, WHICH OF COURSE THERE SHOULDN'T BE ON AN UNPLAYED VINYL.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS OF ANY DESCRIPTION

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE EITHER

THE VINYL PLAYS SUPERBLY ANDTHE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT

SIDE TWO HAS A COUPLE OF TINY LITTLE TICS

I HEARD NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND ELSEWHERE

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO IT AND MAKE A JUDGEMENT AGAINST YOUR OWN PERSONAL STANDARDS
