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 ARE JUST ONE OR TWO TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE ON EACH SIDE TO SHOW WHERE THIS LP HAS HAD JUST TWO CAREFUL PLAYS. THERE IS ALSO SOME RESIDUAL SHARDS OF VINYL ATTACHED TO THE SPINDLE HOLE FROM THE FACTORY
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. THIS IS ALSO A GENUINE 1ST PRESS HEAVY WEIGHT DISC
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.
THE ONLY THING THAT STOPS THIS FROM BEING A FULL MINT GRADE IS THAT THERE ARE A COUPLE OF TINY RANDOM DUST POPS WHICH I HEARD THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH
THIS ALBUM EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS!!!!
BUT DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED HOWARDS GATEFOLD SLEEVE IN SUPERB 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.
THERE ARE JUST THREE MICROSCOPIC LITTLE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE AT ALL ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH IS SUPERB CODNITION, WITH JUST A FEW RANDOM LITTLE WHITE FLECKS APPEARRING THROUGH THE BROWN SURFACE
THE SPINE IS JUST FANTASTIC! IT IS PERFECTLY SQUARE, AND 100% UNSQUASHED. 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 OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND THERE ARE NO THUMB LINES. THIS SHOWS JUST HOW LITTLE THE LP HAD BEEN REMOVED FROM THE COVER
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION, AND LIKE THE FRONT TOTALLY FREE OF ANY WEAR OR RUBBING
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A MINT PAIR OF OLIVE GREEN PANELS
THE LIGHT BLUE ISLAND INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION. NO GLUE AGEING AND NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS
