MAGNIFICENT MINT MINUS PLAYTHROUGH
MINT MINUS SLEEVE WITH INSERT
This is the Misprinted version where on side B of the label the band are presented as VAN DER GRAFF, and not VAN DER GRAAF
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE MAD HATTER LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS UNMARKED
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THERE IS ONE TINY SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS PERFECT AND UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO, IT STILL LOOKS MINT
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
ABSOLUTELY NO VINYL NOISE AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
ALL I HEARD WERE A COUPLE OF TINY SEMI SECONDS OF LIGHT AND BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND
NO TINY DUST 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 FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE FROM JAMES UPTON
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE. AND ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT. NO FADING EITHER. ONE VERY MINUSCULE SCUFF ON THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER TIP
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THERE IS ONE TINY PRESSURE LINE ON THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
A MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE,
THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY COLOURED WITH UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IDENTICAL
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. NO COLOUR LOSS APART FROMA DOT ON THE BOTTOM END. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN SUPERB CONDITION
THE PRINTED LYRIC INSERT IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION
I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
