THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE PINK ISLAND LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID WHITE BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND WHITE LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFIED LED HALO I CAN JUST ABOUT SEE ONE SMALL HAIRLINE
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT!!
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
