Powered by eCommercePlayer.com Powered by eCommercePlayer.com THE INCREDIBLE STRING BAND - I LOOKED UPMAGNIFICENT MINT MINUS AUDIO
COMPLETE WITH AN EX SLEEVE
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE RED LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE ARE 4-5 SPIDER LINES BY THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING HALO IT STILL LOOKS PERFECT
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
ALL I HEARD WERE A COUPLE OF INSIGNIFICANT TINY SPECKS OF STATIC, IN A COUPLE OF SPOTS
NO TICS OR POPS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS
BUT PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
