MAGNIFICENT MINT MINUS AUDIO
VG SLEEVE
THE SLEEVE IS NOT IN GREAT SHAPE, HOWEVER THE LP IS, AND HAS ONLY HAD A COUPLE OF PLAYS EVER
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE PICTURE / BLACK LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. A COUPLE OF TINY DOTS OF FOXING ON THE PICTURE SIDE, AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED.
THERE ARE JUST 2-3 SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS DISC GLEAMS LIKE NEW.
IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SEE
THE TEST PLAY
THE CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS THERE FOR ALL TO HEAR. A VERY SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION THAT IS ABSOLUTELY CRYSTAL CLEAR.
SO THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION
SECONDLY THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
SILENT LINKING GROOVES AND ONLY THE ODD MINUSCULE SPECK OF STATIC
I AM CERTAIN I DIDN T HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS INCREDIBLE AUDIO PERFORMANCE AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS
