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 ARE JUST 8-9 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE.
IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS UNPLAYED
UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I SEE JUST A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
I HAVE MADE MENTION MANY TIMES THAT ISLAND VINYL WAS NEVER AS GOOD AS THE EMI AND PHOGRAM VINYLS OF THE SAME ERA.
FOR MOST COPIES OF ANY ISLAND PRESS CONTAINS MILD VINYL NOISE.
THIS COPY HOWEVER HAS ESCAPED ALL OF THAT AND SOUNDS PERFECT
NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO CLICKS OR POPS
THE LP PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITH JUST THE ODD LITTLE BARELY AUDIBLE SPECK OF STATIC AND A FEW RANDOM TINY STATIC TICS
A SUPERB NEAR MINT AUDIO
THE SLEEVE
SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE BY ROBOR
THE FRONT SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE HAVING NO CREASES OR BENDS WHATSOEVER.
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE AND THE TWO RIGHT CORNER TIPS HAVE A DOT OF RUB. THE TWO LEFT ONES ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THE LAMINATE GLEAMS AND HAS NO PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE
THERE ARE THREE TINY PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE IN THE RIGHT CORNER, , THREE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND ONE THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AND ARE FULLY LAMINATED WITH A DOT OF RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE HAS A TINY PINCH NEAR THE BOTTOM BUT IS OTHERWISE PERFECT. THIS IS THE FIRST ISSUE SLEEVE WITH THE TAPERED ENDS.
THE OPENING EDGE HAS SOME LIGHT FEATHERING SPOTS
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS GOOD AS THE FRONT SURFACE AGAIN BEAUTIFUL LUSH COLOURS AND NO SURFACE WEAR AT ALL, AND AMAZINGLY NO RECORD SHAPE OR RING WEAR.
THE ORIGINAL PAPER/CARD LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDTION. NO MARKS OR WRITING, AND NO DAMAGE TO THE TOP OPENING EDGE, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY NO SPLITS
THE SLEEVE GRADES NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
