Description
THE BEST COPY IS HAVE EVER SEEN - MINT MINUS AUDIO
ONE BOX EMI
ASTONISHING MINT SLEEVE
FINAL UPGRADE ARCHIVE COPY
THE VINYL
THE ORIGINAL SHEEN HAS BEEN RETAINED AND LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT
AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE IS NOTHING VISIBLE. A TOTALLY MINT DISC
THE LABELS
CORRECT 'GRAMOPHONE CO' RIM WORDING
DEEP RICH INKS THAT FULL STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE
A CLOSE EXAMINATION REVEALS BARELY ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE TEST PLAY
THE FIRST THING TO SAY IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, AND EVERY NOTE IS LOUD, CLEAN AND CRISP, JUST HOW IT WAS INTENDED TO BE HEARD.
THERE IS NO CRACKLE, NOR ARE THERE ANY LOUD CLICKS
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS
ABSOLUTELY SILENT IN THE DEAD WAX AND LINKING GROOVES
ALL I HEARD DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH WERE A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE SPECKS OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND AND COUPLE OF LITTLE DUST TICS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS
DON'T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
