 MINT MINUS AUDIO 

COMPLETE WITH A NEAR MINT  SLEEVE


THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE PASTEL BLUE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECT AND UNRUBBED. THE SPINDLE HOLE HAS NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES ROUND IT.

THE VINYL

THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES

 

THE TEST PLAY


THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.

NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS

NO VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER OTHER THAN A COUPLE OF ROTATIONS IN A TRACK ON SIDE TWO

SILENT LINKING GROOVES

I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY  DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS ALBUM MINT MINUS

BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF

 

THE SLEEVE

 

NON LAMINATED MATTE GATEFOLD  SLEEVE FROM HOWARDS

THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY  HAS NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND ALL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE AND REMAINS UNRUBBED .

THE TOP LEFT AND TOP RIGHT CORNERS HAVE SMALL DINGS

THERE ARE TNO PRESSURE LINES  NEXT TO THE SPINE . TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE IN THE CORNERS, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE

THE TOP EDGES ARE FULLY COLOURED WITH A FEW PIN PRICKS OF UNDERCARD VISIBLE

THE BOTTOM EDGES HAVE A LITTLE LIGHT SHELF RUB MAINLY AT THE RIGHT CORNERS

THE SPINE IS ALSO IN UNSQUASHED CONDITION. FULLY COLOURED WITH A DOT OF RUB ON THE TIP ENDS AND A COUPLE OF PIN PRICKS OF UNDERCARD VISIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND ALSO SHOWS WHY THIS LP HAS BEEN BARELY OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE DOESN'T HAVE THE TOP CORNER DINGS JUST A LITTLE RUB ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE INNER PANELS

THE PAPER PICTURE INNER HAS NO SEAM SPLITS OR CREASES

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS NEAR MINT

 

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