THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ISLAND LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT MINT CONDITION. THE WHITE AREAS ARE PURE WHITE AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE WHICH STILL SHOWS RESIDUAL VINYL SHARDS FROM THE PRESS IN AND AROUND IT. THIS CAN BE FELT AND HEARD WHEN PLACING THE LP OVER THE SPINDLE. I SPOTTED PERHAPS ONE SMALL SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND LOOKS LIKE IT WAS FRESHLY PRESSED. THERE ARE NO MARKS HANDLING OR OTHERWISE ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A COUPLE OF REALLY WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN. A MAGNIFICENT 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 WHOLE LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO 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 ASERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THIS ISLAND PRESS PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, SHOWING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS
A SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION THAT HAS JUST A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF STATIC I NA FEW OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES, AND ALSO A FEW TINY AND BARELY AUDIBLE DUST POPS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT
TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE AND THEREFORE PRONE TO ALL SORTS OF ABUSE.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND THE WHITE SURFACE HAS REMAINED VERY WHITE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE PERIMETER EDGES WHICH HAS SOME MILD HANDLING, WHICH IS POSSIBLY WHERE THE WHITE HAS RUBBED MARGINALLY.
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR FOLDS AND AMAZINGLY NONE OF THE SMALL LINES THAT USUALLY GATHER ALONG THE SPINETHERE ARE A COUPLE ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, BUT NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE THE BAREST TRACES OF SHELF WEAR. REALLY INSIGNIFICANT AND VERY SMALL PIN PRICKS OF SHELF WEAR.
THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY FLAT AND UNRUBBED. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND THERE ARE NO AREAS THAT ARE SQUASHED
THE OPENING EDGE IS IN MINT RAZOR SHARP CONDITION AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS ALONG EITHER EDGE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION , AGAIN NO CREASES OR BENDS, AND NO RECORD SHAPE EITHER ON THIS SIDE, AND ALL OF THE COLOURS REMAIN UNRUBBED.
THE LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS MADE FROM STIFF PAPER STILL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS AND IT IS VIRTUALLY UNCREASED WITH JUST SOME VERY MILD RECORD SHAPE SHOWING
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
