THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE PINK ISLAND LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS AND THE PINK BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES.THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINEA NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE PAIR OF DISCS.NOT A FINGERMARK ANYWHERE, AND IN DAYLIGHT THER ARE TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER AN LED MAGNIFYING HALO THEY STILL LOOK MINT

THE TEST PLAY

THE LP'S PLAY THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON ALL FOUR SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS SET SOUNDS.

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PERFECT WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY AND CLEANLY AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED

NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER, NOR ANY LOUD CLICKS

NO AUDIBLE STATIC AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT

NO DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH  MINT  IT IS THAT GOOD

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

 

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

A TRULY EXCEPTIONAL EXAMPLE OF THIS NON LAMINATED GATEFOLDE SLEEVE FROM E.J.DAY AND CO

THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY FLAT AND TIDY. JUST ONE SMALL` LINE RUNNING THROUGH THE B OF BUMPERS AND A MINUSCULE PAPER NICK WHERE A PRICE STICKER WAS REMOVED

OTHER THAN THIS, THE COLOURS ARE DEEP RICH AND UNRUBBED AND DEFINITELY UNFADED

THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE.

THE TOP EDGES HAVE A DOT OF RUB TO THE CORNER TIPS AND ONE MINUSCULE SCUFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE REAR SURFACE.
THE BOTTOM EDGE HVE A LITTLE RUB ATHTHE RIGHT CORNER AND SOME FLECKS OF WHITE ALONG THE FRONT SURFACE

THE SPINE IS 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED .  THE COLOUR IS ALL THERE END WITH ONLY THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS HAVING A TINY SPECK OF RUB . THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGES ARE RAZOR SHARP 

THE REAR SURFACE  IS ALSO IN SUPERB CONDITION, AGAIN NO COLOUR LOSS AND NO LINES NEAR THE SPINE OR OTHER EDGES. JUST SOME MILD HANDLING 

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PERFECT INNER PANELS

THE ORIGINAL OWNER NEATLY WROTE ON THE INNER SLEEVES HOW MANY TIMES HE PLAYED THE RECORD BY PUTTING A CROSS IN A BOX. EACH SIDE ONLY HAS ONE SUCH CROSS. THERE ARE NO MARKING ON THE SIDES THREE AND FOUR INNER SLEEVE AND THAT WOULD SUGGEST THAT THE SECONDALBUM HAD NOT BEEN PLAYED

HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE NEAR MINT

 

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
