THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ISLAND LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE, EVEN SOME RESIDUAL VINYL FROM THE PRESS ATTACHED TO THE SPINDLE HOLE ON SIDE ONE
THE VINYL
ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE DISC.NOT A FINGERMARK ANYWHERE, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM 2-3 WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL 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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE 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.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PERFECT WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY AND CLEANLY AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED
NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER, NOR ANY LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC ON ONE OR TWO OCCASIONS
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN 3-4 OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH MINT MINUS !!! IT IS THAT GOOD
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
A TRULY EXCEPTIONAL EXAMPLE OF THIS LAMINATED 1ST PRESS ROBOR SINGLE SLEEVE

THERE ARE FIVE SMALL LAMINATE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH PERFECT. WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER. ALL CORNER TIPS ARE UNRUBBED
THE SPINE FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND PRISTINE. NO LOSS OF COLOUR WHATSOEVER,OTHER THAN A PIN PRICK ON THE BOTTOM TIP END. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE LAMINATE IS ALSO IN PERFECT CONDITION
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND TOTALLY AS NEW.
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN GLEAMING CONDITION. TWO MINUSCULE LINES ON THE SPINE AND TOP EDGE, AND ONE SMALL LINE ACROSS THE TOP LEFT CORNER TIP
THE ORIGINAL BLUE ISLAND POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION . NO STAINS OR CREASES. IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. JUST A FEW VERY MILD FOXING MOTTLES THROUGH NATURAL AGEING
