    OUTSTANDING MINT MINUS AUDIO

    •  

    THE RECORD 

     

    THE LABELS

    THE ABC / IMPULSE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN, AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. .

    THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

    THERE IS ONE TINY SPIDER LINE BY THE SPINDLE HOLE

    THE VINYL

    THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS,AND IN DAYLIGHT IS IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS IT LOOKS TODAY SOME 50 YEARS ON AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED.
    EVEN UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE  
    A PERFECT MINT ALBUM

    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 LP SOUNDS.

    THE SILENT BITS ARE  SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.

    THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB SOUND WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.

    THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

    NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
    SILENT LINKING GROOVES - AN IMMACULATE AUDIO FROM START TO FINISH

     I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH, JUST THE ODD MINUSCULE SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND A COUPLE OF TIMES DURING THE ENTIRE PLAY

    REALLY AMAZING TO FIND THIS ALBUM IN SUCH INCREDIBLE CONDITION
     

    I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS  IT IS THAT GOOD

    PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

     

     

     

     

    THE SLEEVE

     

    NON LAMINATED MATTE GATEFOLD SLEEVE .

    THIS WAS EXPORTED FROM THE USA TO THE UK BACK IN THE DAY . AS SUCH THERE IS ONE EXPORT PUNCH HOLE IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER

    THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE. 

    LIKE A LOT OF U.S SLEEVES, THEY ARE GREAT AT NOT HAVING PRESSURE LINES BUT BAD WHEN IT COMES TO RUBBING

    THIS ONE HOWEVER HAS ESCAPED AND SERIOUS AND UNSIGHTLY RUBBING 

    THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE . NONE ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. 

    NO RING WEAR AMAZINGLY
    JUST A LITTLE SPECKLING OF AGEING/ HANDLING TO THE EDGES

    THE FOUR CORNER TIPS HAVE A SMALL BIT OF RUB.

    THE TOP EDGES HAVE RUB AND WEAR TO THE FRONT ONE IN THE RIGHT CORNER AREA AND FLECKS OF UNDERCARD VISIBLE

    THE BOTTOM EDGES HAVE ALMOST NO RUB WHATSOEVER

    THE SPINE IS FLAT . ALMOST NO WEAR AND THE COLOURS ARE STILL BRIGHT. A DOT OF RUB AT THE TIP ENDS ONLY AND ONE SCUFF OF UNDERCARD VISIBLE AT THE BOTTOM COVERING THE  FIRST THREE LETTERS OF RECORD

    THE OPENING EDGE IS JUST AS NEW!! RAZOR SHARP AND LOOKING AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER. THE SEALED EDGE ON THE FRONT GATEFOLD HAS  A TINY SPECK RUB AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM

    THE REAR SURFACE HAS A VERYT LIGHT SHADOW OF RING WEAR. NOT HEAVY LIKE YOU SEE ON SO MANY U.S SLEEVES OF THIS ERA

    OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO VERY CLEAN INNER PANELS . THERE IS A LITTLE LIGHT FOXING TO THE EDGE OF THE RIGHT PANEL , BUT NOT HEAVY AND LIGHT IN COLOUR

    THE BROWN INNER SLEEVE HAS NO SEAM SPLITS

      THIS SLEEVE GRADES  EX++

     

     

    GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT

    GARRY


     





    THERE IS SOME GREYING
