Description
MAGNIFICENT MINT MINUS AUDIO
GOLD STAMP PROMO COPY
COMPLETE WITH A NEAR MINT SLEEVE, DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE AND COMPETITION FLYER INSERT
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE YELLOW LABELS ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE. NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECT AND UNRUBBED. THE SPINDLE HOLE HAS NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES NEXT TO IT
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER AN LED MAGNIFYING HALO THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A FEW ANGEL HAIRLINE WISPY AND TINY SLEEVE WITHDRAWALS
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 MORE THAN A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY TICS OR POPS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. THE DEEP COLOURS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND UNFADED
THE HYPE STICKER STILL SITS FIRMLY IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER
INCREDIBLY THERE IS JUST ONE VERY TINY PRESSURE LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE,NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE, AND THE FOUR CORNER TIPS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH IMMACULATE WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR RUNNING FULLY FROM CORNER TO CORNER, WITH UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE BASE COLOUR IS PERFECT.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, WITH ONE TINY THUMB NAIL NICK TOWARDS THE BOTTOM, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE.
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT, APART FROM A COUPLE OF TINY FOXING MOTTLES
THE GOLD PROMO STAMP IS VERY CLEAR AND SITS NEAR THE TOP LEFT CORNER
THE DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE IS PERFECT. NO CREASES OR SEAM SPLITS
FINALLY THE COMPETITON INSERT IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
