THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PALM TREE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. ALL COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND THE WHITE AREAS ARE STILL PURE WHITE. NO MARKS OR STAINS AT ALL ON ANY PART OF THE LABEL.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY CLEAR AND LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN AND THERE ARIS ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE .
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. GLEAMING LIKE NEW IT IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO SEE AT ALL, OTHER THAN A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE HANDLING LINES AND A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES
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. I BELIEVE THAT POTENTIAL BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, AND THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.
AN ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING AUDIO REPRODUCTION FROM BEGINNING TO END, AND A STEREO RECORDING THAT HAS TO BE HEARD. THERE ARE MANY QUIET PASSAGES OF MUSIC ON THIS ALBUM AND NONE OF THEM ARE DISTURBED BY ANY UNWANTED NOISES. NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT, MEANING THAT THE COUPLE OF PLAYS THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED SINCE 1972 WERE CONDUCTED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAS A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THE CLARITY OF THE REPRODUCTION IS PERFECT, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED.
THE RUN IN GROOVE IS SILENT AS ARE THE LINKING GROOVES AND THIS DESPITE THE FACT THAT ISLAND PRESSES USUALLY HAVE INHERENT VINYL NOISE. THIS IS AS GOOD AS ANY I HAVE EVER HEARD
THE MUSIC PLAYS WITHOUT ONE IOTA OF BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER. THERE ARE NO CLICKS AND NO STATIC OR EVEN VINYL NOISE.
A SPECK OF STATIC IN ONE OR TWO SPOTS
I CANT SAY THAT I HEARD ANY MORE THAN 2-3 DUST POPS EITHER
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THIS INCREDIBLE VINYL GRADES MINT MINUS
TAKE A LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED E.J.DAY GATEFOLD SLEEVE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION
THE FRONT SURFACE IS NEAR PRISTINE HAVING, JUST THREE PIN PRICKS OF WHITE SHOWING THROUGH THE SUPERB RICH AND VIBRANT COLOURS. AMAZINGLY THERE IS JUST ONE TINY LINE NEAR THE SPINE NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER, AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF NOT ONE JOT OF RING WEAR OR EVEN ANY EVIDENCE OF RECORD SHAPE. IN SHORT NEAR MINT!
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE VERY LIGHTLY SHELF WORN WITH SOME WHITE SPECKS HERE AND THERE, AND THE ONLY AREA THAT HAS RUBBING IS THE BOTTOM RIGHT REAR CORNER
THE SPINE AGAIN IS JUST SUBLIME. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED WITH JUST ONE TINY LITTLE THUMB IMPRESSION ON THE LEADING EDGE BETWEEN THE TITLE AND CATALOGUE NUMBER AT THE BOTTOM. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE ONLY LOSS OF COLOUR IS A PIN PRICK AT EACH END
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS CLEARLY THAT THE LP HAS HARDLY EVER BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE.
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS IMMACULATE AS THE FRONT. AGAIN NO LINES WHATSOEVER EVEN AROUND THE PERIMETER EDGES, AND AGAIN ALSO NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE INNER PANELS THAT HAVE EVERY INCH OF COLOUR PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED. ONE LIGHT CREASE LINE RUNNING ACROSS PART OF THE LOWER HALF OF THE RIGHT PANEL
THE BLUE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN LIGHTLY WRINKLED CONDITION, BUT UNSPLIT
THE ORIGINAL OWNER EVEN PLACED AN ANTI STATIC INNER SLEEVE INSIDE THIS TO PROTECT THE LP. A SERIOUS COLLECTOR
THIS SLEEVE IS JUST IMMACULATE IN EVERY WAY AND EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
