FULLY TEST PLAYED AND RECORDED SO YOU CAN HEAR IT BEFORE BIDDING Powered by eCommercePlayer.com Powered by eCommercePlayer.com FAUST - THE FAUST TAPES

SUPERB MINT MINUS AUDIO

 EX+ SLEEVE 

THE RECORD

THE LABELS

THE BLACK 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. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST  2-3 TINY SPIDER LINES

THE VINYL

THE RECORD IS STILL GLOSSY AND IN DAYLIGHT IS FLAWLESS
UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO IT STILL LOOKS NEAR PRISTINE, JUST A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE DULL BUT NON SOUNDING MARKS  AND A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES

THE TEST PLAY

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THE LP SOUNDS. THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLING. NO STICKS, OR SKIPS

JUST A COUPLE OF THE MOST MINUSCULE SPECKS OF STATIC IN A SILENT PASSAGE OR TWO
ONE OR TWO TINY STATIC TICS

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS
