MINT MINUS AUDIO
SUPERB NEAR MINT SLEEVE
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE GLOSSY ORANGE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION.
THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE.
THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE JET BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS I AM UNABLE TO SEE ANY MORE THAN A COUPLE OF SPIDER LINES SURROUNDING THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER.
ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED.
THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS IN DAYLIGHT AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF DULL SPOTS
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 ALBUM SOUNDS.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.
NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY VINYL NOISE OR STATIC AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
NO TICS OR POPS
A HIGH GRADE COLLECTABLE WITH INCREDIBLE MINT AUDIO
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
