  THIS IS A LOVELY EXAMPLE OF A VERY RARE EARLY STEREO PRESSING OF CREAM’S ICONIC “ DISRAELI GEARS LP WITH FULLY LAMINATED SLEEVE AND DIFFERENT TEXTURED LABELS WITH THE EARLIEST (P) 1967 ON SIDES 1 AND 2 ( MOST HAVE (P) 1966 ON SIDE 2 ), VERY RARE IN THIS FORMAT, L@@K…..

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

FOR ALL ITEMS OVER 3.99 DOMESTIC DISPATCH COSTS IN THE UK WILL BE VIA RECORDED/SIGNED FOR DELIVERY TO PREVENT FRAUDULANT CLAIMS OF NON RECEIPT AND  IS GBP 3.99 FOR A SINGLE LP, IF ANY BODY HAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS THEN PLEASE FEEL FREE NOT TO BID. INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE SEE MY NOTES BELOW 

EARLY COPIES OF THIS LP HAVE SEVERAL DIFFERENT ATTRIBUTES TO LATER REACTION PRESSINGS, NAMELY:-

1)   THE PATENTS PENDING SLEEVE IS FULLY LAMINATED, VERY SHORTLY AFTER RELEASE THIS CHANGED TO LAMINATION ON THE FRONT ONLY

2)   THE LABELS HAVE A “ TEXTURED “ FINISH TO THEM, SHORTLY AFTER RELEASE THIS WAS CHANGED TO A MORE SMOOTH FINISH

3)   THERE ARE TWO CENTRAL IMPRESSIONS AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE, AN OUTER AND AN INNER ONE., SHORTLY AFTER RELEASE THIS WAS CHANGED TO JUST A SINGLE OUTER CENTRAL IMPRESSION AROUND THE HOLE

4)   AND LASTLY FROM1968 THE SIDE TWO LABEL CHANGES FROM (P) 1967 TO (P) 1966. I’VE NO IDEA IF THIS WAS SIMPLY AN ERROR BUT ONLY THE EARLIST PRESSINGS HAVE THE CORRECT (P) 1967 ON BOTH SIDES 1 AND SIDE 2

THERE  IS ALSO AN ISSUE WITH THE PUBLISHING CREDITS BUT IT IS NOT CLEAR WHAT THE ORDER OF THE REVISIONS WERE, THIS COPY HAS THE APPLE PUBLISHING CREDIT..

SO THIS IS A VERY RARE AND SORT AFTER EXAMPLE, GOOD LUCK TO ALL BIDDERS

(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 )

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 (PIGGIESSS - I AM HAPPY 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 READ, SO IF YOU FALL INTO THIS CATEGORY PLEASE DO NOT BID ON MY ITEMS UNLESS YOU CAN PAY BY ANOTHER METHOD…….international signed for mail costs for Europe is usually GBP 8.99 for one disc. For USA/rest of the world it is usually GBP 12.99 for one disc and 15.99 for two discs, see above for international returns policy...
