MAGNIFICENT MINT MINUS AUDIO
OUTSTANDING NEAR MINT SLEEVE
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE JET BLACK LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ON THEM AT ALL. THE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.. THE YELLOW DJM LOGO IS UNRUBBED AND THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC IT SOUNDS.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO HEAVY CRACKLE OF LOUD CLICKS
NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, MEANING NO GROOVE WEAR THERE IS THE TINIEST SPECK OF LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD DURING A COUPLE OF OFTHE MOST SILENT PASSAGES ONLY, BUT THIS VERY MINOR INDEED
NO POPS OR TICS
PLEASE LISTEN TO IT AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO AS MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE NON LAMINATED MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE, WITH NO LOSS OF THE DELICATE BLACK COLOUR OTHER THAN A TINY BIT OF GREYING NEAR THE EDGES
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES BY THE OPENING EDGE
NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE OTHER THAN MILD IMPRESSION JUST OVER THE BOTTOM EDGE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THE TOP EDGE IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION WITH ALL OF THE BLACL SURFACE FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER.
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS EVERY BIT AS PERFECT
THE SPINE IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION. FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, WITH EVERY LETTER OF TYPEFACE CLEARLY LEGIBLE.. TAPERED ENDS WITH A PIN PRICK OF RUB AT THE VERY ENDS
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS MAGNIFICENT THE FRONT, NO PRESSURE LINES AND SHARP SQUARE COPRNERS
THE OPENING EDGE IS NEAR PERFECT. JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION. THERE IS THE SLIGHTEST BIT OF AGEING TO THE ONCE PURE WHITE SURFACE AND ONE CORNER FOLD LINE
THIS IS A REAL RARITY AND A PLEASURE TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
