FULLY TEST PLAYED AND RECORDED SO YOU CAN HEAR IT BEFORE BIDDING Powered by eCommercePlayer.com Powered by eCommercePlayer.com MADNESS - ONE STEP BEYOND
MAGNIFICENT MINT MINUS AUDIO
NEAR MINT SLEEVE
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE WHITE TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE 3-4 SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE,
THE VINYL
THE RECORD STILL HAS A LOVELY SHINE TO IT. IN DAY LIGHT I CAN SEE ONE DULL NON SOUNDING SCUFF AND A HANDLING LINE ON SIDE TWO AND UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO JUST A FEW TINY 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 THIS LP SOUNDS.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PERFECT WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY AND CLEANLY AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED
NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER, NOR ANY LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF STATIC. THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
NO TICS OR POPS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH MINT MINUS IT IS THAT GOOD
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THIS NON LAMINATED MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE FROM ROBOR
THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND CLEAN. THERE IS NO RUBBING OR FADING TO THE COLOUR AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, OR BENDS . NO MARKS OR STAINS . THIS IS VERY UNUSUAL ON THIS WHITE SLEEVE

THE TOP EDGE ISPRISTINE WITH ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOUR INTACT AND RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER WITHOUT BLEMISH. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL
THE SPINE FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. IT APPEARS A TINY SCUFF IN THE MIDDLE HAS BEEN COLOURED BACK TO BLACK. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE FLECKS OF WHITE ON THE LEADING EDGES. THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THE FRONT. AGAIN NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
