PLAYS TO A MINT MINUS  GRADE
INCREDIBLE AUDIO PERFORMANCE

 EX+ SLEEVE

THE RECORD

THE LABELS

THE YELLOW LABELS ARE IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. 

THE BASE COLOURS ARE BOTH UNRUBBED .THE COLOURS RUN UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.

THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE DISC LOOKS SUPERB. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. 

IN DAYLIGHT IT IS ABSOLUTELY MINT

EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A SINGLE TINY WISPY HAIRLINE 

THE TEST PLAY

THIS STEREO ALBUM PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY. THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE CLARITY OF THE  REPRODUCTION. 

THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND THE SOUND IS AS CLEAR AND SHARP AS IT POSSIBLE COULD BE. 

THE RUN IN IS SILENT, THE LINKING GROOVES ARE NEAR SILENT, AND THE RUN OUT IS SILENT

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

ALL I HEARD DURING THE PLAY WERE A COUPLE OF RANDOM TINY SPECKS OF VERY LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND

NO  CLICKS, OR POPS EITHER

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LONG LISTEN AND YOU BE THE JUDGE OF THE QUALITY OF THIS SUPERB DISC

I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS
