MINT MINUS AUDIO - UNPLAYED BEFORE TODAY
MINT SLEEVE
RARE 1980 BUBBLES REISSUE
This issue was, in my opinion the best quality of all of the represses. The audio is just magnificent. All the hallmarks of the original pressing. It also didn't sell in any great quantity making it the sought after collectable
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BUBBLE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITON. THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM ANYWHERE. NO LOSS OF COLOUR, AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES, WHERE THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. THE DISC GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND HAS LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE
THERE ARE NO MARKS TO BE SEEN IN DAYLIGHT, AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORD STILL LOOKS PRISTINE.
THE TEST PLAY
THIS ALBUM PERFORMS MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES. THE MOST OBVIOUS THING WHEN HEARING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME IS THE CLARITY AND LOUDNESS OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION. IT IS JUST SUPERB. EVERY NOTE HEARD AS IT WAS INTENDED
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER MEANING
NO CRACKLING OR CLICKS EITHER
THE ONLY REASON THIS IS MINT MINUS AND NOT MINT IS THAT THERE ARE 2-3 ROTATIONS OF ONE SPOT EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AS THE FINAL TRACK FADES INTO THE RUN OUT GROOVE ON SODE ONE. NOTHING WHATSOEVER ON THE VINYL THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
NO BACKGROUND AND NO TICS OR POPS
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN TO THE ALBUM AND JUDGE THE QUALITY FOR YOURSELF
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AS MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THIS COPY IS IN SUPERB CONDITON
THE FRONT SURFACE IS IMMACULATE. THE LAMINATE IS JUST IPERFECT. NO RUBBING OF FADING AND NO PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR OR RUBBING WHATSOEVER, AGAIN THIS IS ENTIRELY DUE TO THE PROTECTION AFFORDED THE SLEEVE. EVEN THE CORNER TIPS REMAIN UNBLEMISHED
