1st UK press released on the Charisma "Mad hatter" label in a matt gatefold sleeve with 2 x lyric inners.

This is not the Porky/Prime version it's the real deal Porky Johnnie version. FYI a copy of the porky/prime went for £160 recently which in theory should make this worth double as PP version normally goes for £30 - £60. Thanks

General Information

*SERIOUS & SENSIBLE OFFERS THROUGH EBAY WILL ALWAYS BE CONSIDERED* 

From our experience it is important and helpful if the buyer contacts us with any queries regarding the item or items they're interested in purchasing. For example, clarification of grading or any other specific questions. We'd much prefer to deal with any problems that might arise before the item leaves our possession.

Again from our experience we've found it's better to grade our records condition under what we actually believe it should be. This prevents problems arising once the buyer has received their record. The price we've set the vinyl at is a good indicator of whether we think it's better than listed. Please contact us for more information on an items exact condition, we are happy to send specific images of items on request, however please be patient as this can not be done immediately.

Mint (M) – Absolutely perfect in every way. Never been played and usually sealed.

Near Mint (NM) – The record has been on a shelf between other records. The vinyl looks glossy and clearly has only been played a few times. There are no marks on the vinyl and the whole package is complete.

Excellent (E) – Same but I’d tolerate very light marks where the vinyl has been in and out of the inner sleeve a few times, or tiny signs of use generally.

Very Good Plus (VG+) – A few further faults are acceptable, but nothing that really compromises the record visually or audibly. A little rub, light inaudible marks, a little background crackle.

Very Good (VG) – It’s seen a bit of life, but is still usable. Light pops and clicks, an edge split, light visible scratches. You can still listen to it and enjoy looking at it, but it is visually and audibly used.

Good (G) – To be honest you’re making trouble for yourself here, as Good means Bad. I’d only be selling something really desirable in this condition, with a bargain price and a full, no holds barred description to match.

Poor (P), Fair (F) Attempting to listen will be a disturbing experience. Expect major noise issues, skipping or repeating. The record itself is cracked, badly warped and has deep scratches. The cover is also approaching death!   I wouldn't be selling anything in these categories.
