Description
OUTSTANDING MINT AUDIO FROM START TO FINISH
EX+ SLEEVE AND MINT GLOSSY INNER
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PICTURE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY I CAN'T EVEN SEE ANY MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM . IN DAYLIGHT IS LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO IT ONLY A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS PERFECTLY THROUGH BOTH SIDES.
NO GROOVE WEAR AND THUS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB, AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLES, OR LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
NO MORE DUST POPS OR TICS AND ONE OR TWO SPECKS OF LIGHT STATIC
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT
PLEASE DO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
