ARTHUR GREENSLADE & ORCHESTRA - THE BEST OF ABBA (INSTRUMENTAL VERSIONS)
Signed near mint [sound & condition] original vinyl album with polylined inner + FREE POSTAGE TO UK ADDRESSES
Single near-mint, French-manufactured and now exceptionally hard to find vinyl album, released on the Vogue label (catalogue number SLD. 925) in 1975, played just a few times and signed by the now late Arthur Greenslade (see photo).
This album was one of two Arthur and his orchestra recorded that featured their own arrangements of instrumental versions of songs originally written and performed by Abba, who not only officially approved the project, but also - through Bjorn, Benny and manager Stig - provided the sleeve notes and approved the front cover. Abba fans may be interested to know that three of the compositions included here - To Live With You, Better To Have Loved and Cecilia - are, if the sleeve notes are accurate, making their recording debut outside Sweden.
Among the other songs included here are a number of favourites from the group’s early years: So Long, Hasta Manana, Ring Ring, Honey Honey, Dance (While The Music Still Goes On) and, of course, Waterloo. The album was signed while Arthur was on one of the many UK tours that he did as Shirley Bassey’s musical director in the mid/late 1970s and early 1980s.Side 1 Cecilia; So Long; I Am Just A Girl; Hasta Manana; I’ve Been Waiting For You & Ring, Ring.

Sleeve(s):
The card single pocket outer sleeve has wear commensurate with its 40 years: specifically obvious creasing, mostly near the spine side, less so on/near the corners and very lightly on the main surfaces. There is also some ring-wear (only obvious in direct light), some open edge feathering and mainly light edge wear that hints at the beginning of a lower edge sleeve split. Otherwise, though the colouring remains very good, the edges and spine are still sharp, there’s no writing, no stickers, or obvious damage to the surfaces which are still very clean. [Exc -]The polylined inner, not the original, has no signs of wear/deterioration. [Mint-]
IMPORTANT AUCTION TERMS!
Please take a moment to read my terms below, and ask any questions BEFORE bidding.
PAYMENT
I accept payment via PayPal ONLY, so a PayPal account is required for you to bid and, as I require payment to be completed within 4 days of auction close, you MUST HAVE SUFFICIENT FUNDS in your (Paypal) account at the time of the auction closing, because payment by e-cheque - the way Paypal makes payments when there are insufficient funds to make an instant payment - will not usually arrive within the 4 days I allow. Please do not ask me to make an exception in your case as I no longer respond to these requests and have made my payment preferences clear at the start of this paragraph.
You may bid on multiple auctions ending on different days if the last auction ends seven days or less after the first. If you are bidding or want to bid on more than one of my auctions, please let me know after you win the first item/auction, so I know to delay sending your invoice until you tell me that you have finished bidding, You may pay for items at any time, but if you win multiple items you must then ensure that you complete full payment for them within four days of my sending the final invoice.
If payment is not received within the specified time and via the payment method I have specified, the item may go to the next highest bidder or be relisted. If appropriate I will file non-paying bidder alerts with Ebay in order to recover my final value fees & will block that bidder from my future auctions and - if payment is only received as a result of my filing non-paying bidder - I will not accept a return or offer a refund if you subsequently have a complaint.
If you have a problem that may delay payment please let me know. I am a nice seller, but I don't like to be mucked about or have my payment terms ignored.
POSTAGE & SHIPPING
Postage rates are specified on each auction. (Not advised, but parcel post and surface mail rates are avaiIable if desired-please ask). I always weigh items for postage costs, and allow a bit extra for the packaging. I put a lot of effort and care into packaging, and often use custom, cut to fit sturdy cardboard, tubes, etc.. that has given excellent delivery results over the past 6 years. I will be happy to combine multiple purchases and hopefully be able to reduce the postage costs on your total. Royal Mail includes compensation cover (insurance) free on values currently up to £40 and, in some circumstances. I may add insurance on items over that amount for my own protection and yours.
I now normally ship twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays (if a holiday then the following day). Your package will usually be posted no later than the first Tuesday or Friday following payment, and I shall notify you when it has been mailed.
Thanks for looking and happy bidding. For more info on my auctions please see my Ebay "About Me" page.
