MAGNIFICENT MINT MINUS AUDIO

NEAR MINT SLEEVE 

THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE TEXTURED RED  LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY I CAN'T EVEN SEE ANY MORE THAN 2-3 TINY SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE 

 

THE VINYL

THE HEAVY VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM . IN DAYLIGHT IS LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO IT ONLY SHOWS A COUPLE OF TINY WISPY HAIRLINES  


THE TEST PLAY


THE LP PLAYS PERFECTLY THROUGH BOTH SIDES. 

NO GROOVE WEAR AND THUS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND.

THE MONO REPRODUCTION IS RIGHT ON THE MONEY, AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLES, OR LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

SILENT LINKING GROOVES

NO MORE THAN 1-2 TINY LITTLE DUST POPS OR TICS AND ONE OR TWO SPECKS OF LIGHT STATIC

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO  NEAR MINT

PLEASE DO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

 

 

THE SLEEVE

STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE, THIS FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE MAIN BODY AND DELICATE COLOURS ARE IN GREAT SHAPE UNRUBBED AND UNFADED

THE LAMINATE IS VERY GLOSSY AND IIS FREE FROM ANY PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE

NO RINGWEAR , OE RECORD SHAPE

THE FOUR CORNER SARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THERE ARE FIVE TINY PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE . TWO MINUSCULE ONES ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ONE THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGE HAS PERFECT LAMINATE AND UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS

THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. PERFECTLY LAMINATED WITH A PIN PRICK OF RUB ON THE BOTTOM TIP

THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP 

THE REAR SURFACE IS AS HIGHLY GLOSSY AS THE FRONT
