Hi my name is Brian and I have been buying and selling through ebay for many years and I am proud of my envious feedback from very satisfied customers. I am not a dealer and this is not a business.
I will always give good honest descriptions along side plenty of accurate photographs so that there are no surprises to the auction winners when receiving their item(s).

I am happy to send some items abroad but they must be fully insured (at the buyers expense).

The utmost care will be taken during packaging using quality materials.  I use card stiffeners, bubble wrap and cruciform boxes to ensure safe arrival.

The postage quoted above is NOT correct, it could be more or less,

PLEASE WAIT TO BE INVOICED

Postage will vary depending on final price and destination and I will invoice the buyer ASAP after the auction with an invoice including postage and packaging where appropriate. All items must be insured.

If for some reason you are not happy with the item, you can return it. And as long it arrives back with me in the condition I sent it I will give a  full refund. They are all used items so please read the descriptions with care and take a very good look at the pictures.

DESCRIPTION  

SLEEVE....................UN-LAMINATED AND GATE-FOLD.

By no means a mint sleeve but it is complete and has no tears or splits or sticker damage or repairs. It is complete with attached booklet in the inner gate-fold which is in EX condition. There is shelf wear to the top and bottom edges but no splits. The surface rub is moderate but not through the surface. The previous owner has written his name and a catalogue number on the front of the sleeve (quite faded now) please see the close-up picture above. The spine has creasing and surface rub but is fully readable and strong. The opening edges are strong and have no splits/tears. VG+

INNER SLEEVE..... NOT original swirl. Generic, plain white. EX

VINYL..................... Although the sleeve has some wear it has done a fantastic job of preserving the vinyl. Beautiful surface shine and deep black luster, There are almost no surface hairlines and NO scratches or other blemishes, looks like new. The play back is strong, full and detailed, great sound stage. There are almost no dust/static crackles and then only noticeable in the very quietest moments of the playback. These may be removed with a professional clean?, no skips, jumps or loud pops.  This album has obviously been handled with the greatest of during the very few times it has been played. An easy N/MINT. The best I have seen.

LABELS................. some very light spider lines. N/MINT

All vinyl is played/graded on a high end LINN system including a LINN SONDEK LP12 TURNTABLE.

Please do not hesitate to ask any questions no matter how trivial.

GOOD LUCK BIDDING.

Brian.
