NOT ONLY A SUPER LOOKING COPY WITH POSTERS PICS AND BLACK INNERS AND EASILY ONE OF THE BETTER TOP OPENING WHITE ALBUMS ( NO 0402611 ) I HAVE HANDLED,  BUT IT ALSO HAS A RARE TAX STAMP OF KT  ON SIDE FOUR LOOK. L@@K

EMI STOPPED STAMPING TAX CODES ON THEIR DISCS IN 1968 BEFORE THIS LP WAS RELEASED. CONSEQUENTLY 90 PERCENT OF FIRST ISSUE WHITE ALBUMS DO NOT HAVE ANY TAX STAMPS, HOWEVER EMI WERE NOTORIOUSLY LAX WITH SOME OF THEIR STAMPING MACHINES AND A FEW RANDOM EMI PRESSED DISCS CAN BE FOUND WITH KT OR EVEN KJT ON THEM AS LATE AS 1970. THIS IS ONE SUCH RARE EXAMPLE

SO...... GOOD LUCK TO ALL BIDDERS

THE CONDITION

VISUALLY DISCS ARE VISUALLY IN LOVELY ORDER,  UNDER A BRIGHT HALOGEN LIGHT I CAN SEE SOME MOSTLY LIGHT MARKS AND A MORE PROMINENT ONE ON SIDE ONE BUT WHICH IS NOT AT ALL FEELABLE.  I WOULD GRADE ALL FOUR SIDES CERTAINLY AS EX- 

THE SLEEVE IS REALLY SUPER,  IT'S PROBABLY EASIER TO SAY WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT THAN WHAT IS RIGHT. THERE IS A BIT OF CREASING AND SOME USUAL LAMINATE FRAYING AT THE SPINE BUT IT IS AS CRISP AND GRADED CONSERVATIVELY AS EX-  THERE IS ALSO A TINY LOGO STAMPED TO THE FRONT WHICH I CAN REMOVE VERY EASILY IF ASKED TO.

LABELS ARE ALSO LOVELY AND HAVE HARDLY ANY FLAWS, SOME SPINDLE TRACES SO EX- 

POSTER AND PICS, SUPERB HARDLY ANY EVIDENCE OF HANDLING EX- AT LEAST 

BLACK INNERS : AMOUNGST THE BEST PAIR OF BACK INNERS YOU WILL EVER SEE, AMAZINGLY UNSPLIT AND GRADE EXCELLENT- 

THIS IS ONE OF THE BETTER TOP OPENING FIRST PRESS WHITE ALBUMS - YOU WILL NOT BE DISSPOINTED - I HAVE HANDLED WITH RARE DISC 2 TAX STAMP SO - GOOD LUCK TO ALL BIDDERS

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 COSTS Furthermore 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 ION OF 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

GOOD LUCK TO ALL BIDDERS

DOMESTIC BIDDERS PLEASE NOT ALL ITEMS HAVE TO BE SENT VIA SIGNED FOR DELIVERY WHICH FOR A DOUBLE LP IS GBP 4.00, THIS IS TO PREVENT FRAUDULANT CLIAMS OF NON RECEIPT, INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLS SEE 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 8.99 AND TO THE USA/REST OF THE WORLD GBP 12.99 FOR A SINGLE LP AND 15.99 FOR A DOUBLE...
