WOW ! NOT ONLY IS THIS IS A TRUELY SUPERB TOP TOP 1 BOX EMI COPY BUT ALSO HOUSED WITHIN A MEGA UK MONO STEREO SLEEVE ERROR COPY !

CONTRARY TO MANY WHO PLACE THE DATE FOR THESE 1 BOXES AS 1969 FOR PARLOPHONE AND HMV THEY WERE ACTUALLY INTRODUCED EARLY IN 1970 WHICH IS MUCH LATER THAN THEIR EMI STAMBLE MATES COLUMBIA AND STATESIDE. THESE ONE BOX PRESSINGS LAST UNTIL MID 1971 WHEN THEY WERE REPLACED BY THE MORE COMMON 2 BOX ISSUES. HOWEVER AT AROUND THE SAME TIME GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE WERE CHANGING THEOR SLEEVE CONSTRUCTIONS WITH INSIDE GATEFOLD FLIPBACKS BEING MOVED INTERNATLY WITHIN THE SLEEVE. IT WAS DURING THIS PROCESS THAT AN ERROR SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN MADE IN THAT THESE STEREO SLEEVES WERE PRINTED WITH THIS IS A " MONO RECORDING INSTEAD OF " STEREO " RECORDING 

NEEDLESS TO SAY THESE SLEEVES ARE INCREDIBLY RARE AND THIS THAT THIS MUST BE ONE OF THE LAST ONE BOX LABELS ISSUED MID 1971 BUT NOT ONLY THAT THE CONDITION OF THIS COPY IS AWESOME AND PROBABLY WOULD BE VERY HARD INDEED TO UPGRADE ON !!

                                            ....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.

DOMESTIC DISPATCH WILL BE BY SIGNED FOR DELIVERY AND ARE GBP 3.99 FOR A SINGLE LP, THIS IS TO PREVENT FRAUDULANT CLAIMS OF NON RECEIPT D ! 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 BE READ, 

…….COST VIA INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR MAIL TO EUROPE FOR A SINGLE LP IS USUALLY GBP 9.99 AND TO THE USA/REST OF THE WORLD GBP 13.99 FOR A SINGLE LP AND 16.99 FOR A DOUBLE BASED ON A "DECLARED" VALUE OF UNDER GBP 50...
