 MAGNIFICENT MINT MINUS AUDIO

OUTSTANDING NEAR MINT SLEEVE

THE RECORD

THE LABELS

THE BLUE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS AND THE  BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE TWO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE. 

THE VINYL

ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE DISC.NOT A FINGERMARK ANYWHERE, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORD ON HAS SOME TOTALLY NON SOUNDING DULL STRAKS AND A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE MARKS ON TRACK ONE (AGAIN NON SOUNDING)

PLAYING THE RECORD

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 STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PERFECT WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY AND CLEANLY AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED

NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER.

NEAR SILENT LINKING GROOVES WITH JUST A SPECK OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A COUPLE OF THEM

I DIDN'T HEAR ANY  DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY-THROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH  MINT MINUS 

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

A TRULY EXCEPTIONAL EXAMPLE OF THIS 1ST ISSUE MATTE ROBERT STACE SINGLE SLEEVE. 

THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND CLEAN. THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE COLOUR AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, OR BENDS .THE BLACK SURFACE AMAZINGLY HAS NO GRUBBINESS OR HANDLING EVIDENCE. HAS CLEARLY BEEN INSIDE A PLATIC OUTER SLEEVE

THERE ARE FIVE MINUSCULE LAMINATE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE. THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THE TOP  AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH MINT, WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY INTACT AND  RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, WITH EVEN THE CORNER TIPS TOTALLY UNBLEMISHED. SMOOTH TO THE TOUCH ALL THE WAY ACROSS BOTH EDGES

THE SPINE IS 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED,  NO LOSS OF COLOUR WHATSOEVER, AND THIS EVEN INCLUDED THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS WHICH ARE IMMACULATE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. AGAIN THE COLOUR IS PERFECT

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP 

THE REAR SURFACE  IS ALSO IN SUPERB CONDITION, PERFECT WHITE SURFACE, AND LIKE THE FRONT THERE IS NO RUBBING AT ALL, AND NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE.

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION .  NO STAINS OR CREASES. IN MINT CONDITION
