BOSTON - THIRD STAGE

PLAYS MINT MINUS FROM START TO FINISH

MINT MINUS SLEEVE

STUNNING ORIGINAL CONDITION

THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE BLACK LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE DEEP RICH COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE WHITE TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST NO VISIBLE  SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE 

THE VINYL

THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN SUPERB CONDITION, REALLY GLOSSY AND NOT DULL LIKE MOST WORN OUT COPIES. IN DAY LIGHT THE DISC LOOKS FLAWLESS

EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE . A PRISTINE VINYL

THE TEST PLAY


THE RECORD PLAYS AS NEW ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES WITHOUT DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE COUPLE OF PLAYS THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED STYLUS AND ALSO UNWORN .

MAGNIFICENT AUDIO THROUGH ALL OF THE TRACKS

FIRSTLY THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE  DEATHLY SILENT 

NO DUST POPS OR TICS

NO AUDIO DISTORTION

IF I AM ULTRA PICKY I HEARD A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST SPECKS OF STATIC IN A SILENT PASSAGE OR TWO
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS

PLAY ALL OF THE SOUNDBITES AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN PERSONAL STANDARDS

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

NON LAMINATED GLOSSY GATEFOLD SLEEVE 

THE FRONT SURFACE HAS DEEP RICH COLOURS WITHOUT ANY RUBBING OR FADING WHATSOEVER

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

NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THE TOP EDGES ARE FULLY COLOURED WITH PRISTINE CORNER TIPS

THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE EVERY BIT AS GOOD

THE SPINE IS FLAT, FULLY COLOURED WITH PERFECT TYPEFACE AND UNBLEMISHED ENDS

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME LOVELY CONDITION AS THE FRONT

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE INNER PANELS

THE FLIPBACK INNER SLEEVE HAS NO CREASES AND NO SEAM SPLITS

I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS

 

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
