my apologies to those who have already been bidding on this item and seen it ended early, i stupidly made errors in the listing TWICE, first in the body of the listing the second on the duration, so my big apologies, nothing funny going on just me screwing up

 WOW !!   NEEDS LITTLE INTRODUCTION FROM ME, NOT ONLY A SUPER COPY OF THE MOST HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER UK  BLACK AND GOLD COPIES WITH 1ST LABEL DICK JAMES CREDITS ( PRE NORTHERN SONGS ) BUT ALSO EASILY ONE OF THE NICEST YOU WILL FIND AS WELL AS HAVING THE EXTREMELY RARE RIDGED LABEL VARIANT ON SIDE TWO WHICH MAY BE HARD TO BEAT

SUPER SLEEVE HAS THE ANGUS McBEAN CREDIT CORRECTLY SHIFTED TO THE FAR BOTTOM RIGHT EDGE AND THESE RAREST OF A RARITY RIDGED PRESSINGS ARE PROBABLY A HANG OVER FROM USING AN OBSOLETE PRESSING MACHINE AS ALL EMI PRESSINGS BEFORE ABOUT 1960 WERE RIDGED ! 

L@@K

NOW BECAUSE OF THE LIKELY FINAL VALUE OF SUCH AN ITEM AS THIS IF CONSIDERABLY OVER gbp 400 IT WILL HAVE TO BE SENT BY COURIER FULLY INSURED DOMESTICALLY OR INTERNATIONALLY HENCE THE HIGHER THAN NORMAL POSTAGE COSTS WHICH MAY COME IN SLIGHTLY LOWER THAN LISTED. I AM HAPPY TO NEGOTIATE SHIPPING METHODS AND ACCEPT BIDS FROM INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS BUT IN CASE OF PROBLEMS PRIORITY WILL BE GIVEN TO DOMESTIC BIDDERS WHO EXPRESS A DESIRE TO COLLECT THE ITEM THEMSELVES BUT THE WINNING BIDDER WILL GET FIRST CRACK

I am sorry the international shipping cost is so high but please be assured it is at cost and I am making no money from it, i will explain... this is because I have to use the more expensive signed for international mail options to comply with ebay's buyer protection program. As the seller I am fully responsible for the items safe arrival

LABELS :  IT WAS ONLY AFTER ORIGINALLY LISTED THIS ITEM THAT ON INSPECTING THE LISTING I NOTICED A VERY FAINT NAME ON BOTH SIDES, HOWEVER I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT I HAD THIS DISC FOR YEARS IN MY OWN COLLECTION AND NEVER SAW THIS, NOR DID I SEE THIS WHEN IT CAME TO EVEN TAKING THE PHOTO'S FOR THE LISTING SO THEY ARE SO FAINT AS TO BE SO TRUELY BARELY NOTICABLE I COULD NOT SEE THIS FIRST TIME AROUND, STRICTLY GRADE VG BUT THAT ASIDE YOU RARELY SEE GOLD LABELS AS BRIGHT AND CLEAR AS THIS COPY

NON UK BUYERS PLEASE NOTE MY COMMENTS REGARDING INTERNATIONAL MAIL BELOW...RETURNS POLICY ONLY APPLICABLE TO UK..RETURNS OUTSIDE UK BUYER WILL HAVE TO COVER ALL POSTAGE COSTSFurthermore international bidders please also note that due to ebays new "buyer protection " policy many sellers now refuse to sell internationally anymore. I am not one of those sellers yer but please note I do now reserve the right to refuse to complete a sale to any international bidder that may have low or bad feedback or for any other reason and this is especially so if the item sells for over GBP 100, like I say this is purely a result of ebay/paypals new policy that make it now even harder for sellers to  trade safely internationally. Please bare this in mind if you win an item but find that it has been offered first instead to a domestic UK Bidder.

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. 

ALL MY RECORDS ARE USUALLY SOLD ON VISUAL GRADINGS ONLY, THEREFORE, WITH THE SINGULAR EXCEPT ON THOSE RARE OCCASSIONS WHERE I DO STATE THEY HAVE BEEN PLAY GRADED, AS ALL DISCS ARE 2ND HAND ANY PLAYING DEFECTS ARE THEREFORE CAVIAT EMPTOR AND SO NON REFUNDABLE. I ONLY REFUND  WHERE AN ACTUAL GRADING OF MINE IS DISPUTED

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

(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...

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

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,

 Happy bidding CHECK OUT MY OTHER ITEMS!
