BLONDIE - EAT TO THE BEAT
MAGNIFICENT MINT MINUS AUDIO
COMPLETE WITH A MINT MINUS SLEEVE
COMPLETE WITH THE CARD INNER SLEEVE AND MERCHANDISE FLYER
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 1-2 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 MORE THAN A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES
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
THERE IS A SPECK OF VINYL NOISE IN THE LINKING GROOVE BETWEEN TRACKS ONE AND TWO ON SIDE ONE
NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF SILENT PASSAGES
I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR 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 GLOSSY 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
THERE ARE JUST TWO TINY PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE 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, AND EVEN THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNRUBBED
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE MAGENTA BASE COLOUR IS PERFECT.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, 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.
THE CARD LYRIC 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
THE MERCH INSERT IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
