SUPERB MINT AUDIO
MINT GATEFOLD SLEEVE
UK 1ST PRESS
FINAL UPGRADE EXAMPLE
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE SPIRAL AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND IS UNMARKED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST ONE 2-3 TINY SPIDER LINES .
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER AN LED MAGNIFYING HALO THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE
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 SOUNDS.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE ON ANY PART OF THIS ALBUM, AND NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO DISTORTION, THUS NO GROOVE WEAR
NO TICS OR POPS
THE VINYL JUST PLAYS SUBLIMELY ALL THE WAY THROUGH
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
A FINAL UPGRADE EXAMPLE AND I GRADE THE AUDIO MINT
DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, HAVE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
AN ABSOLUTELY ASTONISHING EXAMPLE OF THIS HARD TO FIND (IN GOOD CONDITION) ALBUM COVER
USUALLY FOUND WITH SEVERE RING WEAR AND STAINING. THIS ONE HAS BEEN PRESERVED LIKE NEW
TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT IS ON OFFER ON EBAY AND YOU WILL SEE EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN
THIS NON LAMINATED MATTE GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS THE BEST EXAMPLE I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE TO OFFER UP
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR DINGS.
THE COLOURS ARE MAGNIFICENT. NO RUBBING AND NO COLOUR FADE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE, AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH UNBLEMISHED TIPS
NO AGEING OR HANDLING TO ANY PART OF THE COVER
THERE IS ONE INVISIBLE AND TINY PRESSURE LINE AGAINST THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
ANOTHER RARITY IS THAT THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE NO SHELF WEAR, OR RUBBING AND THE COLOUR RUNS ALL THE WAY ACROSS BOTH SURFACES WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FULLY COLOURED. NO WEAR OR RUB AND THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP TO SHOW HOW LITTLE THE ALBUM HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE OF THIS SLEEVE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT . AND HERE THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE, JUST ONE LIGHT THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THIS HAS A STANDARD POLYDOR / VERTIGO INNER NOT THE SWIRL ONE
HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
