NEAR MINT AUDIO

MINT MINUS SLEEVE


THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE BLUE  LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. ALTHOUGH THERE IS AN INITIAL ON THE B SIDE

THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE IS JUST ONE BARELY VISIBLE  SPIDER LINE BY THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE. 

THE VINYL

THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I CAN SEE A COUPLE OF TINY WISPY HAIRLINES


THE TEST PLAY


ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT RECORD FROM START TO FINISH

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT OR NEAR SILENT

NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A SILENT PASSAGE OR TWO

I HEARD A FEW TINY DUST POPS ON SIDE TWO TOWARDS THE END

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS NEAR MINT



THE SLEEVE

 

NON LAMINATED MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE WITH HYPE STICKER

THE SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION BOTH FRONT AND BACK

ALL OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR IS THERE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED, AND UNFADED 

THERE ARE THREE MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO  THE SPINE  ,NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THE HYPE STICKER IS FIRMLY ADHERED IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH THE TINIEST LITTLE DING TO THE TOP RIGHT TIP

THE TOP EDGE IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION AND HAS UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS. ALSO HAS THE SPINE WORDING

THE BOTTOM EDGE IS SIMILAR WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB ON THE RIGHT TIP

THE SPINE IS IN FLAT AND UNSQUASHED CONDITION, PERFECT COLOUR.  THE TYPEFACE IS LEGIBLE AND THE ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP 

THE REAR SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY MINT

THE PICTURE INNER SLEEVE HAS NO SPLITS OR CREASES


I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE  MINT MINUS
