VINYL TYPE

Seriously solid and thick 1960s quality vinyl

VINYL CONDITION

This is a great looking clean record that just has to grade as an Excellent if not something better. It still has a pure deep gloss and it’s only on close inspection you start to notice a few light marks and paper scuffs. These do not affect play and there is great audio throughout. The album plays fine all the way through so it can be enjoyed as a listening experience from start to finish. The spindle wear isn't excessive, suggesting that the record has only been played a few times and it has definitely been handled with care.

SOUND

The whole record will play in its entirety with a tangible raw edge and stunning audio clarity, there’s only the occasional light pop or click, and in no place does it crackle in an intrusive way or display any serious amount of surface noise. Both sides played through with no sticking or skipping so the whole of this highly collectable original album can be enjoyed as a brilliant listen from start to finish.

COVER TYPE

Single album cover with one side opening and original paper inner sleeve

COVER CONDITION

This great cover still grades as a strong Very Good. All the edges are still stuck down, and the entire cover is fully intact without any major damage.  The front and rear cover are in great clean shape with no writing, sticker residue or any other kind of defacement. The edges have a little light scuffing but nothing severe and no holes and there’s a small amount of corner-bend creasing. The front and rear sleeves also display the earliest stages of ring-wear but again it is barely noticeable. The paper inner remains fully intact with no seam splits so in summary, a package that has stayed well clear of abuse and remains a great looking collectable piece.

Reductions offered on multiple purchases are half the marked rate per item after 1st record

Postal insurance is offered as an optional extra.

I do not profit on packaging. All records are sent in professional mailers with stiffeners and polythene sleeves in which the disc will be removed from the sleeve for extra protection. I take great care with my packaging and want to make sure the records arrive in the same condition they left me. The recorded option is now compulsory because too many buyers claim their items do not arrive when they are sent without any form of tracking, so with recorded packages we all know exactly what’s going on with the delivery and records no longer disappear down a big postal service black hole!

PAYMENT METHODS

Paypal is preferred and I will not charge my buyers extra for using it.

Cheques, Postal Orders and International Money Orders are also accepted provided they are all payable in UK STERLING.

FRUIT TREE

This is my Ebay outlet for rare and classic vinyl artefacts in the fields of Rock, Garage Rock, Psych, Folk, Acid Folk, Jazz, Blues, Indie-Alt, Singer-Songwriter, Country, Rock’n’Roll & Doo-Wop and anything that’s cool and scarce on round wax! I have a particular emphasis on the period 1966-1972 and a fondness for the Island, Harvest, Immediate, Vertigo, Charisma and Transatlantic labels, particularly from the period specified above but also on other smaller obscure labels and the cool later stuff you’ll find at places like 4AD too! I’m basically on a perpetual voyage of discovery (as indeed you are I should think if you’ve read this far) and it’s always a case of anything unusual, weird and wonderful considered!

I strongly believe that any great music from the 60s and 70s was made for vinyl and simply has to be heard this way; it’s the format the music was made for and the difference in sound to an original vinyl pressing to a CD issue is often astounding! I take this vinyl affection through to the best new music as well, and to this day prefer to hear a great new album on a vinyl pressing if one is available. To this end, Fruit Tree Records on Ebay will from time to time unearth newer vinyl treasures as well as vintage ones for your delight.

I will always play grade my records and endeavour to describe them with 100% accuracy so that you know everything you need to know; there’s nothing to hide so please e-mail me any questions. I know from my years of collecting how important a detailed description is when buying over the internet.

REFUNDS

Finally, I am aware enough to know that even with my best efforts I may occasionally, very rarely but still occasionally, write a description opinion that the buyer does not 100% agree with. If that happens please don’t worry, I will not debate with you the difference between an EX- and VG+. I will give you a full refund, including your return postage costs, as long as you get the record back to me within 14 days. That’s guaranteed so buy with confidence; I hope you find something you like...
