Communication: I will answer any sensible query quickly and politely, but please read the listing thoroughly first.

Dispatch time: I dispatch within 24 hours of cleared funds, sometimes even the same day if the payment is received early enough and I am able to get to the post office in time. After that, it's down to the Royal Mail and whichever international mail service is involved - all of which is out of my control.

Postage and packing costs: It generally costs me more than I charge for shipping by the time I add in my mailers, stiffeners, shipping labels, printer ink, packing tape, fragile labels, petrol to the post office...so I do not overcharge on my shipping costs in any way.

FULLY PLAY GRADED VINYL - FROM START TO FINISH

PLAYGRADED: not simply glanced at with a superficial visual grading, fully played and graded throughout (listened to on headphones - the most revealing playgrade method, with no exterior audio distractions)

VINYL:

6 3 6 0  0 7 7           1  Y // 2   4 2 0     1   1    1 

6 3 6 0  0 7 7           2  Y // 2   4 2 0     1   2    1 

Awesome looking vinyl with very few light hairlines visible under strong light, but they hardly affect the audio! Plays superbly with only very lightest background noise (crackle) on run ins and in between tracks which is barely audible, even on the quietest moments. Only on track 2, side 1 is there some audio interference which is random and not throughout the track, sounds like very quick fizzy/scuffy bursts, only a few times and not too intrusive - superb tone and volume on all frequencies on this otherwise stunning playing UK 1st press. Other than track 2 I would say it plays as EX+ to MINT- the rest of the LP is THAT GOOD!

Plays right through with no jumps or sticks, no loud pops, no repetitive clicks.

OUTER SLEEVE:

One of only about 4 Vertigo Swirls that are not gatefolds or poster sleeves. This one has embossed flower designs as a pattern and also a 'pinched' spine design at the top and bottom of the spine. Overall I would grade the sleeve as very good+. There is some slight ringwear visible and some rubbing to front/rear and also some creasing to the spine. But it is still perfectly legible. Made by Howards Printers (Slough) Ltd. Moderate edge wear but I think it's been touched up a bit on the edges with a slightly lighter brown colour. Looks nice overall though. No seam splits. No graffiti. No bad creases and certainly no rips. No sticker tears. No sticker glue residue or lift off. Very presentable copy.

LABELS:

Excellent, NO graffiti and only a few light spindle traces visible! One slight circular stain on B side from an old sticker that's been removed. Very nice condition!

INNER SLEEVE:

Vertigo swirl inner sleeve in excellent condition, but with poly liner missing. Slightly browning with age. No seam splits. No graffiti.

POSTER:

This is a same-size faithful reproduction of the original poster. It measures 590 x 400mm. Printed on a good quality 120gsm poster paper. This is a new reproduction, it is not the original. It has been supplied with this record merely to complete the original presentation of this record.

Thanks for taking the time. Good luck in the auction.
