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
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY CLEAN AND THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF HEAVY CREASING OR CREASE LINES.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY CLEAR AND LEGIBLE
