FINAL UPGRADE MINT MINUS PLAY CONDITION

STUNNING EX++ FLIPBACK SLEEVE!!!!

ONE BOX EMI ISSUE FROM 1969

THE RECORD

THE LABELS

THE  LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR HAS REMAINED UNRUBBED, AND THERE IS NO COLOUR LOSS ANYWHERE. THIS COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE  SPINDLE HOLE, A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLES REVEALS JUST 5-6 SPIDER LINES CLOSE BY INDICATING A BARELY PLAYED DISC

THE VINYL

THE LP SHINES LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THERE ARE NO MARKS AT ALL ON THE SURFACE, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORD STILL LOOKS MINT

THE TEST PLAY

THE DISC PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY , AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS RECORD SOUNDS.

THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT. I CANNOT BE CRITICAL OF THIS REPRODUCTION  IN ANY WAY AT ALL.

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO ANY PART OF THE PLAYTHROUGH,

 THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS

THERE ARE ONLY A COUPLE OF TINY, LIGHT AND BARELY AUDIBLE SPECKS OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD ONLY IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES 

NO TICS OR POPS

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS!!

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO IT AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH, AND JUDGE IT BY YOUR OWN STANDARDS
