Description
MAGNIFICENT ONE PLAY MINT MINUS AUDIO
COMPLETE WITH A MINT SLEEVE
COMPLETE WITH THE PICTURE INNER SLEEVE
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLUE AND WHITE COLOURED 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
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
ISLAND/CHRYSALIS VINYL USUALLY HAS A LITTLE VINYL NOISE DUE TO THE PRESSING BUT THIS ONE HAS NONE
A TINY SPECK OF LOW LEVEL STATIC IN THE DEAD WAX RUN IN TO TRACK ONE
I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY TICS OR POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
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 ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE AND IMPORTANTLY HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. THE DEEP COLOURS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND UNFADED
THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, ONE 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 EDGE HAS ALL OF THE COLOUR RUNNING FULLY FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND EVEN THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNRUBBED. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.NO RUBBING WHATSOEVER
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT.
THE PRINTED PAPER INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM AND IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. NO SPLITS, NO CREASES, NO MARKS , AND VERY CLEAN AND MARK FREE
THERE IS AN ADDED BONUS OF ANOTHER POLY INNER SLEEVE INCLUDED WHICH IS ADORNED WITH PRESS CUTTINGS ABOUT BLONDIE AND THE ALBUM
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
