THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE ISLAND PALM TREE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB  MINT CONDITION. , THE COLOURS ARE WHITE WHERE THEY NEED TO BE AND RICH AND VIBRANT WHERE THERE IS NO WHITE. THERE ARE JUST 3-4 TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE ON EACH SIDE

THE VINYL

THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE A SOME WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE AND SOME HANDLING LINES AND A SMALL SCRATCH ON THE RUN OUT TO SIDE TWO

PLAYING THE RECORD

I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.

I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.

THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

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.

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, AND THIS JUST MEANS THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS ALSO SUBLIME WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD TO THE EXACT STANDARD IT WAS SUPPED TO. CRISP AND CLEAR THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER. NOR ARE THERE ANY LOUD CLICKS EITHER

BEARING IN MIND HOW LAMBASTED ISLAND VINYL IS FOR NOISE, THIS ONE HAS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT ANY POINT, JUST A SPECK OF STATIC DURING THE RUN IN'S TO EACH SIDE

THERE IS SOME VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A FEW RANDOM SPOTS, MOSTLY ON THE EARLY PART OF SIDE TWO, BUT THIS REALLY IS BARELY AUDIBLE. AGAIN SIDE TWO HAS A FEW TINY LITTLE DUST POPS HERE AND THERE, AND FIVE ROTATIONAL TICS JUST AS THE FINAL TRACK IS PLAYING OUT

SIDE ONE GRADES MINT MINUS AND SIDE TWO EXCELLENT PLUS

BUT DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED E.J.DAY AND CO ENVELOPE SLEEVE IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION.

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE TO FIND IN COLLECTIBLE CONDITION,AND MOST WILL BE SEVERELY SOILED THROUGH HANDLING AS THE POROUS SURFACE ATTRACTS GRIME LIKE A MAGNET, BUT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW AND IS IN STUNNING ORIGINAL CONDITION.

THE FRONT SURFACE IS JUST NEAR PERFECT. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR HAS BEEN RETAINED AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE.AND JUST ONE MINUSCULE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE ON EACH SIDE OF THE SLEEVE. ONE MORE ALONG THE TOP EDGE BUT  ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE

NO RING WEAR AND NO RECORD SHAPE EITHER, AND NO GRUBBINESS, JUST A TINY STICKER REMOVAL RESIDUAL MARK, AND A COUPLE OF TINY LITTLE GLUE SPOTS, ONE IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER, AND THE OTHER NEAR THE RIGHT SPINE IN THE MIDDLE.

THE SPINE IS JUST FANTASTIC! IT IS PERFECTLY SQUARE,WITH JUST A FEW LIGHT DIMPLES, HAS NO RUBBING OR COLOUR LOSS ANYWHERE,EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNRUBBED,AND EVERY SINGLE LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE TWO SIDE EDGE ARE BOTH IN MINT CONDITION. AGAIN IT IS CLEAR JUST HOW WELL THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN PROTECTED FROM NEW

THE ENVELOP FLAP IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION. VIRTUALLY EVERY COPY I HAVE HANDLED HAS THE TUCK IN TAB , BADLY WORN OR DAMAGED, BUT THIS ONE HASN'T A NICK ON IT, AND IT IS ROCK SOLID

THE REST OF THE SURFACE JUST THE LIKE THE FRONT IS IN SUPERB CONDITION, WITH JUST A SOME LIGHT HANDLING VISIBLE

THE CARD INNER SLEEVE HAS THE THUMB NOTCH ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND IS IN THE SAME STUNNING CONDITION AS THE REST OF THE SLEEVE, WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY GLUE MOTTLES ONE ON EACH SIDE NEAR THE SEAMS. NO CREASES AND NO SEAM SPLITS EITHER

I AM PERFECTLY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT!!!

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