THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ISLAND PALM TREEE 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 5-6 TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE ON EACH SIDE TO SHOW WHERE THIS LP HAS HAD A FEW PLAYS
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW,AND LOOKS SUPERB IN DAYLIGHT, AND IS A HEAVYWEIGHT DISC. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE RANDOM WISPY HAIRLINES AND A FEW LIGHT HANDLING LINES
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 NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING ABID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE LOD STEREO SOUND. THE REPRODUCTION IS CRYSTAL CLEAR AND CRISP.
THERE IS NO SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR CLICKS, WHAT YOU DO HAVE ON SIDE ONE IS A LITTLE VINYL NOISE HEARD ONLY IN THE QUIETST PASSAGES, AND A FEW RANDOM LITTLE TICS HERE AND THERE, WHILST SIDE TWI PLAYS TO AN EVEN HIGHER STANDARD WITH JUST THE VERY ODD BIT OF STATIC LIKE NOISE AGAIN IN THE QUIETEST PASSAGES, AND A COUPLE OF TINY TICS JUST AS THE RUN OUT GROOVE STARTS
FOR ME SIDE ONE PLAYS TO AN EX+ STANDARD AND SIDE 2 IS NEAR MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN THOUGH AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED E.J DAY GATEFOLD SLEEVE ,
THE FRONT IS FLAT AND VERY CLEAN, AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, IN FACT THERE AREN'T EVEN ANY OF THE SMALL LINES NEAR THE SPINE, JUST ONE VERY FINE AND BARELY VIAIBLE LINE RUNNING PARALLEL TO THE SPINE FROM THE TOP LEFT CORNER FOR ABOUT 2 INCHES
THERE IS NO RINGWEAR OR ANY RECORD SHAPE AT ALL EITHER.THE COLOURS ARE ALL STILL THERE AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RUBBING AT ALL. A COUPLE OF TINY BLACK DOTS ON THE COVER BUT OVERALL A SUPER LOOKING FRONT SURFACE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 98% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, WITH JUST A COUPLE OF PIN PRICKS OF WHITE SHOWING THROUGH IN ONE OR TWO SMALL SPOTS
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THERE HAS BEEN NO WEAR OR RUBBING TO THE SURFACE WHATSOEVER.
THE OPENING EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY RAZOR SHARP, AND NOT EVEN ANY SMALL THUMB NAIL NICKS EITHER.
THE REAR SURFACE IS PREDOMINANTLY WHITE AND HERE THERE ARE SIGNS OF HANDLING WITH A LITTLE GRUBBINES TO THE PERIMETER EDGES IN THE MAIN. THERE IS THE SEMI CIRCULAR IMPRESSION OF RECORD SHAPE ALONG THE TOP EDGE.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE INNER SURFACE AND A COMPLETELY UNMARRED IMAGE
THE PLAIN INNER SLEEVE IS A LITTLE BROWNED AND HAS SOME LIGHT CREASING, BUT REMAINS UNSPLIT
HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
