HI!   I  HAVE COLLECTED "CAPTAIN BEEFHEART & THE MAGIC BAND" VINYL & MEMORABILIA FOR OVER "42 YEARS!!!" AND HAVE HANDLED COUNTLESS US ORIGINAL LP & RE-ISSUES. I HAVE IN FACT COLLECTED ALMOST ALL WORLD-WIDE PRESSINGS OF "SAFE AS MILK!!!!" & I  CAN GUARANTEE THAT THIS LP IS AN "ORIGINAL 1967 US ORIGINAL"  S/SEALED;

 THE WEIGHT & THICKNESS OF THE VINYL, THE APPEARANCE AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE COVER,  THE LABEL +  LOGO  AND OTHER ELEMENTS OF THE COVER ARE ALL PERFECTLY CONSISTENT WITH THE ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING OF THIS TITLE!!!! 

THIS ITEM IS SOLD AS LISTED - PLEASE NOTE I CANNOT ACCEPT A RETURN IF OPENED IN ANY WAY - THIS WOULD DEVALUE THE LP - PLEASE CHECK MY FEEDBACK WHICH I HOPE SPEAKS FOR ITSELF - I PERSONALLY CAN GUARANTEE THIS IS  A SEALED ORIGINAL US PRESSING - I HAD TO PAY $50 DUTY ALONE TO HAVE IT SENT OVER FROM USA (+ POSTAGE + COST!) 

 THESE PRESSINGS ARE FETCHING UPWARDS OF $600.00 SO I AM PUTTING A SENSIBLE RESERVE OF $350.00 - $400.00  SO FANS CAN HAVE A CHANCE OF OWNING A COPY AND NOT A COLLECTOR WHO WILL PUT IT AWAY FOR A FEW YEARS AND ASK $1000 IN A COUPLE OF YEARS TIME!!!!

PLEASE READ BELOW BEFORE BIDDING!!!

Potential Bidders:  A maximum 3 days for communication and 7 days for payment to arrive - If not I will either relist the item, notify Ebay/PayPal or offer to the runner-up. Fast deals get great Feedback from me. As does politeness; Any questions - please ask and thanks for looking.

Please Note: I now offer any item to the runner-up after the mandatory EBay 3 days if no contact is made by the winning bidder, unless prior notice of any delay is given beforehand. I am not in any hurry to complete any deals but hate hanging onto records for weeks with no contact.. The same applies if no payment is received within the mandatory 7 days so any bidder who has just lost out can still email me to reserve the item as priority second chance.

My Guarantee: If any winning bidder is not satisfied with their purchase I will offer a complete refund [minus the return posting!] as long as the item detail has been read and understood. I will not refund if any defect detail is clearly stated on the advert and missed by the buyer, or if the record or outer packaging of the record/cd is damaged or altered - If any overseas collector does not understand anything in my listing,  please email and ask me to help. I expect items to be posted back RECORDED DELIVERY (at Buyers Expense!) 

I have made a decision to sell ALL ITEMS over £35.00 UK by RECORDED DELIVERY. Overseas Buyers MUST be prepared to pay for a REGISTERED DELIVERY SERVICE on items over £35.00. [ It is only £4.50p and is well worth the extra, to TRACK your purchase and will not lead to any FALSE CLAIMS from BUYER or SELLER. ]

 UNDER EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES ONLY - I am prepared to post 'certain items' by NORMAL AIR MAIL but this is my decision only and will be for regular customers  - OR on a FEEDBACK FIRST basis - Your high bid on this item implies that you agree to TRUST ME (based on my feedback record!) that my grading system is FAIR and I will in fact post your 'unprotected' item and retain PROOF OF POSTING and that if it does not show up, then the POSTAL SERVICES World-Wide are to blame although I will help the buyer with regards any claim.  Is that not fair??

In these circumstances I will ask for an email stating that you have CHOSEN NOT TO PAY for RECORDED DELIVERY" and FULLY UNDERSTAND if it is LOST or DAMAGED then the loss is yours. I cannot  pay refunds to people who say an item has NOT ARRIVED if they are NOT WILLING TO PAY FOR RECORDED DELIVERY.

***  THANKS & GOOD LUCK WITH BIDDING  ***
