MANFRED MANN'S EARTH BAND - MESSIN STUNNING MINT EXAMPLE - FINAL UPGRADE UNPLAYED UNTIL TODAY MINT MINUS TEXTURED SLEEVE
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE VERTIGO SPACESHIP LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOURS ARE UNMARKED AND UNSTAINED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THERE ABSOLUTELY ZERO SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS A POLISHED MIRROR SHEEN TO IT, AND GLEAMS LIKE NEW. A SUPERIOR HEAVYWEIGHT ORIGINAL PRESS. UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORD STILL LOOKS 100% MINTTHE TEST PLAY
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION ON THIS ALBUM IS JUST BRILLIANT, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY AND CRISPLY. THE SUPERB ORCHESTRAL POP ROCK SOUND OF THE EARTH BAND COMES THROUGH LOUD AND CLEAR WITH NO UNWANTED EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER
SILENT THROUGH THE LINKING GROOVES, AND THE MANY SILENT PASSAGES PLAY WITHOUT ANY STATIC OR ANY OTHER UNWANTED NOISES
DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
THIS IS ONE OF THE HARDEST SLEEVES EVER TO COLLECT IN ANYTHING RESEMBLING THE SORT OF CONDITION MOST COLLECTORS WOULD WANT TO OWN
MOST SLEEVES ARE FOUND SEVERELY RINGWORN, WITH SEVERE COLOUR RUB AND OFTEN WITH THE DIE CUT HOLE ON THE FRONT BADLY WORN OR EVEN DAMAGED. THIS SLEEVE IS AS GOOD AS THE BEST OUT THERE I BELIEVE
THIS COPY HAS REMAINED IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION FROM NEW, AND HAS CLEARLY BEEN KEPT IN A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FOR A HUGE PERCENTAGE OF IT'S LIFE.
FLAT AND CLEAN WITH NO CREASES AND NO BENDS,THIS IS A VERY VULNERABLE SLEEVE AND EVERY COPY THAT I HAVE SEEN IN THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS I HAVE REJECTED BECAUSE OF HOW POOR THE SLEEVE LOOKED.
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. INCREDIBLY NO RINGWEAR AT ALL AND NOT EVEN ANY EVIDENCE OF RECORD SHAPE.THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND THERE IS NO RUB OR FADE WHATSOEVER
THE ONE ANY ONLY MINOR BLEMISH IS A LIGHT SHADOW OF A STICKER RESIDUE IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER
THE CORNERS ARE VERY SHARP AND SQUARE.
THE DIE CUT HOLE IS PERFECT IN EVERY WAY. NO NICKS OR BURRS TO THE CIRCLE WHATSOEVER
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE , NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGES ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. WHERE ALL OF THE EASILY RUBBED COLOUR IS INTACT AND STRETCHES RIGHT ACROSS FROM CORNER TO CORNER. UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS AS WELL
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS ALMOST AS PERFECT WITH A FEW TINY PIN PROCK FLECKS OF WHITE NEAR THE REAR RIGHT CORNER
THE SPINE IS 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THERE ARE NO FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS AND ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. PERFECT ENDS AND UNBLEMISHED COLOURS
THE OPENING EDGE IS IN MINT RAZOR SHARP CONDITION AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG EITHER EDGE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT, AGAIN NO CREASES OR BENDS, AND NO RECORD SHAPE EITHER . ONE NEAR INVISIBLE MINUSCULE ARC OF RUB JUST OBER THE BOTTOM EDGE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO MINT INNER PANELS
THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED.
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
