Description
Hello my name is Brian and I have been a vinyl fan for many years now and have always bought and sold items to feed my vinyl passion...I have never been a dealer but will always describe my items for sale as honestly and accurately as possible with plenty of clear and detailed pictures. I do my best to insure there is no disappointment when you receive your item/s.
If you read my ebay feed back as a seller you will see that people are happy with what they receive from my auctions. I try not to waffle on about how rare an item is using silly expressions such as "AWESOME" or "IMPOSSIBLE LIKE THIS" etc etc (yawn yawn)!
I am very particular about packaging the vinyl. I use cruciform boxes with cardboard stiffeners and bubble wrap for extra protection for LP's. The vinyl is always packaged outside of the sleeve to prevent seem splits. I use stiff envelopes with extra card stiffeners for 7" singles/EP's. I am happy to post any where in the world if fully insured and the cost will depend on the final selling value, so
I can't advise the postage cost until the auction has ended. Please wait to be invoiced.
Please bid with confidence, and if for some reason you are not happy with your purchase i am happy to give a FULL refund on receiving the item back in the condition I posted it out in.
I recommend extra insurance for the more valuable items (over £40), it only costs a couple of pounds and is well worth it in my opinion. I will NOT post items over seas without full insurance.
I use the 'RECORD COLLECTOR' grading system with a + or - where appropriate.

Very first issue.
Vinyl.......Original STEREO Press. Beautiful deep black shine, this vinyl plays all the way through without skips and jumps. Light hairlines and only one slightly more obvious mark on side 1 track that does NOT sound during playback. No deep scratches. NO constant crackles. There is no loss of playback quality it has a strong and full sound. Superb. Very few very careful plays. EX+
Labels......Both sides in NEAR MINT condition, very few light spider lines.
Sleeve.......Gatefold sleeve, TEXTURED, un-laminated. It has the original and very desirable STEREO sticker on the rear. This is a very fragile sleeve and not many have survived well over the last 50 years, this one is not mint but still above average. No seem splits or edge tears, no sticker damage and no unwanted writing. There is NO creasing. The spine is fully readable with moderate surface wear but no splits. There is minor edge wear all round. There is corner tip wear. But main obvious wear is surface rub but this is not through the surface.VG+
Comes with original, generic, poly lined inner sleeve, without seem splits, just a tear to the center cut out and some creases. VG+
Nice original stereo copy and in nice condition......
Please have a good look at the pictures as they form part of the description.
If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me.
Good luck bidding, Brian.
