AS CLOSE TO A PERFECT EXAMPLE AS YOU COULD EVER HOPE TO SEE L@@K...............

FOR BIDDERS OUTSIDE UK THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT...  non uk bidders please read my notes about international postage below.....returns policy only applies to UK outside of UK buyer has to cover the return postage! FOR INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT due to ebays revised " buyer " protection policy even more sellers will start to refuse to sell internationally. I however will still sell internationally but i reserve the right to not to complete any international transaction if the buyer has any bad or witheld feedback or for any other reason that I choose and this is especially so for items that sell for near to GBP 150 or higher. So if you are an international bidder and win one of my auctions and then find I have completed the transaction elsewhere this will be because the new ebay/paypal policy now makes it almost impossible for sellers to sell safely overseas, thank you

FOR BIDDERS WITH ZERO FEEDBACK THIS IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT...   I have recently been the victim of serveral spurious bids from several different members (usually based in the Russian Federation). Please note that if you win any of my items and have zero feedback I will ask you for immediate payment or for you to email and immediately confirm that you were a genuine bidder. Failiure to meet either of those critiera will result in the item being  offered to the next highest bidder without further delay. thank you. 

A STUNNING ARCHIVE CONDITIONED COPY AND POSSIBLY EVEN UNPLAYED EXAMPLE AND WITH AN ONLY RECENTLY IDENTIFIED UK LABEL VARIAITION NOT THOUGHT TO PREVIOUSLY EXSIST L@@K.....

IF YOU CHECK THE BEATLES COLLECTING WEBSITE ( BEATLESCOLLECTING DOT CO DOT UK ) YOU WILL SEE THAT THESE COPIES WITH THE LITTLE RICHARD " HEY HEY HEY " CREDIT ACKNOWLEDGED FOR THE FIRST TIME  SHOULD ONLY APPEAR AFTER THE INTRODUCTION OF THE " ALL RIGHTS " RIM TXT AROUND 1979!!

HOWEVER IT WOULD NOW SEEM THAT A SMALL NUMBER ARE NOW TURNING UP ON THE EARLIER " EMI RECORDS LTD "  RIM TXT LABELS AND THIS IS ONE SUCH EXAMPLE, IT IS NOT SURE HOW MANY OTHERS THERE MAY BE BUT THERE WON'T BE MANY TURNING UP IN THIS CONDITION I PROMISE YOU!

THE STORY BEHIND THIS REVISION IS THAT THE BEATLES VERSION OF "KANSAS CITY " INCLUDED A SECTION FROM LITTLE RICHARDS " HEY HEY HEY " BUT AMAZINGLY THIS RECEIVED NO CREDIT ON THE LABEL OR SLEEVE AND IT TOOK EMI ANOTHER 14 ODD YEARS TO RECTIFY THIS AND  AT LEAST INCLUDE THE PUBLISHING CREDITS ON THE LABEL FINALLY FOR LITTLE RICHARD PENNIMAN (AND NO DOUBT HIS ROYALTIES TOO! )

FOR DOMESTIC UK BIDDERS ALL ITEMS ABOVE GBP 9.99 WILL HAVE TO BE SENT VIA SIGNED FOR RECORDED DELIVERY TO PREVENT FRAUDULANT CLAIMS OF NON RECEIPT. THIS WILL BE 3.99 FOR A SINGLE LP AND 4.99 FOR A DOUBLE. IF THIS IS A PROBLEM PLEASE FEEL FREE NOT TO BID. INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE SEE MY NOTES BELOW

 (Please note that whilst I try to endeavour to adhere to strict RC gradings I will never describe ANYTHING AS MINT even when I think it to be so. As far as I am concerned any secondhand item by definition cannot be mint. However if I believe an item to be Mint  I will instead either use the terms Near Mint, mint minus, or in archive or vault condition. When I use these terms you know that in my opinion this is in effect a de-facto Mint grade )

INSURANCE INCLUDED IN P&P PRICE DEPENDING ON FINAL SALE VALUE...

Dont forget to take a look at my other items. Please feel free to contact me with any queries you may have.

                                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I ONLY DO A COUPLE OF RUNS A WEEK TO THE POST OFFICE BUT MY ITEMS ARE ALWAYS DISPATCHED WELL WITHIN ONE CALENDAR WEEK OF PAYMENT BEING RECEIVED. I APOLOGISE IN ADVANCE TO THOSE BUYERS WHO SEEM TO EXPECT THEIR ITEM TO ARRIVE THE NEXT DAY, IF YOU WANT TO CHECK WHEN AN ITEM WAS SENT JUST PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AND I WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO TELL YOU!! (SOME PEOPLE DO MAKE YOU LAUGH, FOR ITEMS I BUY I ONLY NORMALLY GET CONCERNED AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND EVEN AFTER THAT THEN ONLY POLIETELY ENQUIRE IF AND WHEN THE ITEM WAS SENT).

                                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PAYMENTS BY PAYPAL ARE PREFERRED BUT I ALSO ACCEPT OTHER METHODS. I ALSO POST WORLDWIDE (PLS APPLY FOR RATES) BUT DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH A DISREPUTABLE BUYER IN JAPAN (EBAY WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO NAME THEM) , FOR ALL PAYMENTS MADE VIA PAYPAL THE ITEM WILL ONLY BE SENT BOTH TO THE UK AND WORLDWIDE BY RECORDED OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR DELIVERY. THIS IS TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY ATTEMPT TO CLAIM BACK THE PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL EVEN AFTER ACTUALLY HAVING RECEIVED THE ITEM.

THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS HAD THE RESULT OF INCREASING MY COSTS FOR POSTING AND PACKING AND I AM VERY SORRY FOR THIS BUT PAYPAL OFFER NO PROTECTION FOR SELLERS UNLESS THERE IS PROOF OF DELIVERY!! PROOF OF POSTING WOULD SEEM INSUFFICIENT TO THEM AND I HAVE FOUND THIS OUT THE HARD WAY..

DUE TO THE BEHAVIOUR OF THIS SAME BUYER PAYPAL PAYMENTS WILL ALSO NOT BE ACCEPTED FROM BUYERS WHO DO NOT ALLOW THEIR FEEDBACK TO READ, SO IF YOU FALL INTO THIS CATEGORY PLEASE DO NOT BID ON MY ITEMS UNLESS YOU CAN PAY BY ANOTHER METHOD…….COST VIA INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR MAIL TO EUROPE FOR A SINGLE LP IS USUALLY GBP 8.99 AND TO THE USA/REST OF THE WORLD GBP 12.99 FOR A SINGLE LP AND 15.99 FOR A DOUBLE BASED ON A "DECLARED" VALUE OF UNDER GBP 50...
