Description
This is a rare BBC Transcription Disc, issued by the BBC to overseas radio stations, usually for use over a three year period. After that time the disc should have been destroyed, and most were, but this found its way into private hands and I bought it about 10 years ago.
This is a two disc set, with each disc containing one half of The Thousand-HorseTown (A portrait of Newmarket by Harold Wilshaw) and Song of a Road (A radio ballad, by Ewan MacColl and Charles Parker). The discs are in mint condition and have only been played by myself once, and I suspect only few times at most ever. The expiry date on the discs is 5.6.63. These are thicker and heavier vinyl than the majority of discs I have come across and seems to be more common for the earlier discs (late 50s/early 60s). This obviously has an effect on the shipping as does this being a two disc set. I haven't priced the postage yet as the mailers I have are designed for single LPs, and I need to source another mailer! As a rough guide I would expect UK postage to be an additional £1 to the prices quoted below.
I am reluctantly thinning my collection due to running out of space and this is one of many that I will be listing on ebay over the coming months. Please read the following before bidding
As ebay 'improve' their service to a more structured format, some bidders make assumptions about an auction, so please read the following so you know what to expect from me.
Notes about postage:
I am based in the UK and the photo will be sent from there.
The postage costs are determined after the auction closes and depend on the service required and the final value of the item - I won't send unless it is covered by insurance.
My rate for one disc sent by standard UK recorded delivery is £4.50 with items shipped in record mailers, and are covered by Royal Mail insurance up to £39.
For final values over £39, the only insured option is by Special Delivery and this is approximately £8.00 in the mailer, and insurance covers up to £500
I WILL SHIP WORLDWIDE. For overseas shipping, the cost varies on destination and service. If you are interested, please contact me in advance so I can advise on a cost.
**** I am happy to combine lots to save on the postage. Perversely, it works out cheaper to send a dozen in the UK than 2 or 3! ****
If you are unhappy with the postage costs, please do not bid.
Notes for after the auction closes:
After the close of the auction I will send out an invoice and appreciate payment within 2 working days. One reminder will be sent if payment is not received, and if there is still no payment I will go through the ebay claim procedure. Much as I would like to chat via email afterwards, this is generally not possible due to the large amount of photos I sell at a time, and I prefer to concentrate on answering questions about live auctions and getting the items shipped as quickly as possible once they sell. If you make a payment instantly it may well be the first you hear from me is the disc arriving through your post box. Please be assured this is not me being rude, just trying to be efficient!
