CARAVAN - 'CARAVAN'. STEREO. VERVE FORECAST. SVLP 6011 (1969).

Extremely rare first UK pressing on the Verve Forecast labels. EX/EX- sleeve. EX/EX- vinyl. This set is in excellent overall condition. Vibrant laminated flipback sleeve.

Some very minor laminate creasing to top and right hand area of the front sleeve and very minor creases along spine, but no loss of laminate at all. Spine is in great shape.  Small amount of ring wear on the rear sleeve. The black print is always liable to this, and in all it isn't really much of an issue.  Vinyl has all it's gloss and shine and has a few inevitable surface marks, which on listening you struggle to hear. This is a big money collectable in very, very reasonable shape that would please most collectors. An EX+ or NEAR MINT one of these would cost you in excess of £800 (if indeed you could find such a copy). I've seen some copies sell for much more. They are all vaulted away and are seldom released from private collections.

Original (not sticky) sticker residue mark (possibly Factory Pressing?) on Side 1 label.

The time has come for me to start selling off big chunks of my otherwise 'keeper' collection. Some of these records are incredibly hard to find in such superb condition. The records in my eBay listings are from my own personal record collection. I am not a record dealer. Some particular records I have bought two or three times over - just to get that special 'keeper' copy. These listings are the fruits of my collecting effort which spans over 25 years.

My Buy It Now prices fairly reflect the market and demand for these genuinely rare records. Just search through sites like Popsike dot com for some past examples of eBay auction results over the last few years. The Buy It Now option makes it fair on everybody... too many disappointments can be had by not bidding high enough and finding out you missed having an item by £5 or less!  My regular auction listings start with a price I am happy to sell at, and if demand dictates that this price goes higher then that's all good.

In the very rare event that you are disappointed, I will accept returns if items are not as described and issue a full refund (minus your return postage costs).

PayPal ONLY PLEASE. Items selling over £38.00 will be insured and sent by Special Delivery and/or Registered Post with insurance. £6.50 for UK, and £13.00 for Rest of the World. If postage is significantly more than quoted I will refund any difference.

Regarding postage and shipping:  I am not Amazon.com.  I go to the post office once or possibly twice a week.  During the holidays it will be increasingly painful, so be patient.  "Priority mail" means it goes by air...it does not mean it goes out in the next hour.  I have never had a package lost and do not get any complaints about packing - in fact my packing rates among the best on eBay. I use cruciform mailers (usually doubled-up) and loads of parcel tape to ensure a strong package.


Please read my checkout instructions. Please wait for my invoice before paying, as postage to different global locations can vary. Full refund given (minus return postage) if item is not as described.

STRICTLY GRADED. (Play graded, and visually graded to Record Collector standards).

Any questions please email...

I have no need to use the words MEGA, ULTRA, or c**p on about how many of these LPs got trashed at parties. I try to avoid exhaustive usage of exclamation marks in my honest descriptions and I also avoid the over-use of CAPITAL letters (unless they are used for relevant emphasis to my auction description) and I do not wish to shout at my buyers. I know that you know about the records you wish to purchase. One other thing - I do not sell items which have had the opening edges of the cover trimmed by a guillotine or blade to make the covers appear in better condition. Some other sellers do this as a regular practice, and it's just not on.
