ORIGINALLY ISSUED ON THE PINK ISLAND LABEL, THIS REISSUE ON THE PALM TREE LABEL STILL RETAINS ALL OF THE FIRST PRESS SOUND HAVING COME FROM A VERY EARLY MOTHER AND STAMPER, BUT TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ISLAND PALM TREEE 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 TWO TINY SPIDERS LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE ON EACH SIDE TO SHOW WHERE THIS LP HAS HAD JUST A COUPLE OF CAREFUL PLAYS
THE VINYL
THE ORIGINAL LUSTER HAS BEEN RETAINED AND THE VINYL LOOKS SUPERB. ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE ANY SIGNS OF WISPY HAIRLINES
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 FOUR THREE MINUTE EXCERPTS FROM THIS ALBUM, I HAVE RECORDED THE FIRST TRACK FROM EACH SIDE WHICH INCLUDES THE DEAD WAX RUN IN, I HAVE ALSO RECORDED THE LINKING GROOVE TO THE START OF ONE OTHER RANDOM TRACK FROM EACH SIDE OF THE ALBUM. THE REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUPERB
THE LP'S 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 THE VERY OCCASIONAL BARELY AUDIBLE DUST POP HERE AND THERE AND LIKE MOST ISLAND PRESSINGS THE OCCASIONAL LIGHT STATIC IN THE LINKING GROOOVES.
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THIS HAS BEEN KEPT INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM THE DAY IT WAS OWNED, AND IS JUST IMMACULATE.
THE FRONT SURFACE WHICH OFTEN HAS COLOUR LOSS, IS JUST SUPERB. RICH AND VIBRANT AND UNRUBBED.NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NOR ANY BENDS OR DINGS, AND JUST TWOP BARELY VISIBLE SMALL LINES NEAR THE SPINE, AND NO CORNER DAMAGE AT ALL.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE JUST PRISTINE AGAIN. NO SHELF WEAR AT ALL.
THE SPINE IS JUST FANTASTIC! IT IS PERFECTLY SQUARE, HAS NO RUBBING OR COLOUR LOSS ANYWHERE, AND EVERY SINGLE LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY RAZOR SHARP AND IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THE LP HAS NOT BEEN OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE
THE INSERT SHEET IS IN MINT UNCREASED, UNSTAINED CONDITION
THE BLACK INNER SLEEVE IS THE ORIGINAL INNER AND IS IN THE SAME AMAZING CONDITION AS THE REST OF THE SLEEVE. UNCREASED AND UNSPLIT
THERE IS NO WAY THAT THIS SLEEVE COULD EVER BE BETTERED IN MY OPINION
I AM PERFECTLY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
