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 IS JUST ONE TINY SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE ON EACH SIDE TO SHOW WHERE THIS LP HAS HAD JUST ONE CAREFUL PLAY

THE VINYL

THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE

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 INBUILT VINYL NOISE AT ANY POINT, JUST A SPECK OF STATIC DURING THE RUN IN'S TO EACH SIDE

THE ONLY THING THAT STOPS THIS FROM BEING A MINT MINUS GRADE IS THAT ON SIDE ON TRACK ONE THERE ARE THREE BARELY AUDIBLE LITTLE ROTATIONAL POPS, AND TWO MORE ON TRACK ONE SIDE TWO OTHER THAN THIS, I HEARD NO MORE THAN 2-3 TINY TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH, AND ON THAT BASIS I AM PERFECTLY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT!!

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

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED ROBOR ENVELOPE SLEEVE IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION.

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE TO FIND IN COLLECTIBLE CONDITION, 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.

NO RING WEAR AND NO RECORD SHAPE EITHER, AND NO GRUBBINESS, JUST A SPECK OF VERY LIGHT HANDLING TO THE PERIMETER EDGETHE SPINE WHICH IS THE TOP EDGE AND ENVELOPE FLAP IS IN PERFECT CONDITION. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED AND EVER LETTER OF THE DELICATE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. NO RUBBING AND NO LOSS OF COLOUR

THE SPINE IS JUST FANTASTIC! IT IS PERFECTLY SQUARE, HAS NO RUBBING OR COLOUR LOSS ANYWHERE,APART FROM THE VERY TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS 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

ALSO WORTH POINTING OUT THAT THERE IS NOT ONE SMALL LINE NEAR ANY OF THE EDGE ON EITHER THE FRONT OR REAR SURFACES. THAT IS VERY UNUSUAL!!!

THE CARD INNER SLEEVE HAS THE CORRECT FLIPBACKS AND THUMB NOTCH ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND IS IN THE SAME STUNNING CONDITION AS THE REST OF THE SLEEVE

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

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