Beautiful original Pink Island copy…comes with original poly-lined black Island inner sleeve, has LIGHT creases but NO rips, splits,tears,writings or any other damages at all..

 

 

cover: original  un-laminated E.J. Day. GF  cover  superb  clean  with TINY amount of wear on the  corners and small wear in the middle of the spine – easily grades EX++ or better  … opening edges are straight and sharp,NO signs of use AT ALL.…Inside is really nice and clean with LIGHT rubbing along the top edge, otherwise pretty much as NEW…Spine is PERFECTLY square and uncrushed most of  all lettering visible and readable…no rips,tears,splits or any other damages....

 

record,visual:  both sides are  superb clean and shiny , at least EX++ with few  microscopic surface lines visible ONLY under strong light,NONE of these are audible in any way ….it still retains its beautiful original sheen and  looks VERY NEAR NEW…

 

record,audio: I PLAYED THE ENTIRE RECORD FROM START TO END WITH HIGH VOLUME -  ALTHOUGH NOBODY EVER PLAYS „MOONCHILD” (( ARE YOU GOING TO PLAY THIS TRACK EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU PLAY THIS ALBUM ?? JUST ASKING BECAUSE I DON’T KNOW ANY COLLECTOR WHO ACTUALLY DOES ) EVERY SINGLE TIME HE/SHE PLAYS THIS ALBUM I ALSO TESTPLAYED THE  MENTIONED TRACK (MOONCHILD), IT  PLAYS WELL,  NO LOUD POPS/CLICKS,THERE’S SOME  LIGHT  BACKGROUND/STATIC NOISE  IN THE QUITEST MOMENTS OF THE TRACK – I HIGHLY DOUBT THE EXISTENCE OF A COPY THAT DOES NOT HAVE ANY BACKGROUND NOISE ON THIS TRACK, PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THIS IS A RECORD AND NOT A CD …–… THE REST OF THE ALBUM PLAYS GREAT, LOVELY SOUND QUALITY WITH  CRYSTAL CLEAR AND VIBRANT SOUND WITHOUT ANY SINGS OF GROOVEWEAR,WITH  GREAT DELIVERY AND  STEREO IMAGE…NO DISTORTION,NO GROOVEWEAR,NO SKIPS/JUMPS OR STICKING ..

 

labels:   AS CLEAN AS IT COULD BE  with few light  spindle hole marks….ILPS 9111 A2 and ILPS 9111 B3 matrix numbers.. …no tears,stamps or any other damages...
