OUTSTANDING MINT MINUS AUDIO
MINT MINUS SLEEVE WITH MERCH INSERT AND PRINTED INNER SLEEVE
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PICTURE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND IS ALSO UNRUBBED, AND UNMARKED,
THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND UNWORN
EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS I CAN'T SEE ANY SINGLE SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A BRAND NEW DISC.
IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT, AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I CAN ONLY SPOT A COUPLE OF SURFACE HANDLING LINES ON SIDE TWO, WHICH DO NOT HAVE ANY IMPACT ON THE AUDIO, AND A COUPLE OF TINY MARKS ON SIDE TWO TRACK THREE
THE TEST PLAY
THIS ALBUM PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION FROM START TO FINISH
NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO RECORDING AND A CRISP AND CLEAR REPRODUCTION
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ALL
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE EITHER
THE TWO TINY MARKS ON SIDE TWO TRACK THREE CAUSE JUST 3-4 ROTATIONS OF VERY LIGHT LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND ON ONE SPOT ONLY
NO TICS OR POPS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS FOR THE PLAYTHROUGH
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
