Description
JANIS JOPLIN - BALL AND CHAIN. LIMITED EDITION VINYL LP issued by PENGUIN RECORDS - First Edition 1980 (number 131 of 500 copies) Ref. EGG ONE. The LP comes in a picture sleeve (please see the second photo for the track listings). IMPORTANT - I don't know much about this album but I believe it was issued circa 1980's. The LP contains tracks from various sessions, broadcasts and live performances from the 1960's and 1970, so recordings and sounds vary. I've actually been listening to it whilst I've been typing this and it's an enjoyable album and plays well (visually = excellent condition), but has the occasional strange noise/audience noise in parts, variations in sound quality, that all seem part of the overall sessions/broadcasts/record and don't seem to be faults on the album. SO, due to this and as this LP does not seem to be a professional release and as I can't really find out much about it - I am therefore selling it as just a SOUVENIR ITEM... From what I've been told you might be able to find out more information on a website called 'POP SIKE'. This site records sales of this album on ebay and could offer you more information than I can. ( I'm not sure if you have to subscribe to this site to use it?? It doesn't seem to let me view things, so good luck ) I am currently auctioning other similar Syd Barrett LPs that came from the same person, via my brother.
**CONDITION**
**When grading my items I follow Record Collector magazine's grading guide.** Therefore the picture sleeve = excellent condition, the spine is strong and clear = excellent, the black labels with silver writing = excellent, the vinyl = excellent condition.
** CONDITION GRADES ** MINT = I NEVER REALLY USE THIS GRADE, BUT IF I DID IT WOULD MEAN THAT THE ITEM IS IN A FACTORY FRESH/NEVER PLAYED CONDITION. EXCELLENT = RECORD SHOWS SOME SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN PLAYED, BUT THERE IS VERY LITTLE LESSENING IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND PACKAGING MIGHT HAVE SOME SLIGHT WEAR AND/OR CREASING. VERY GOOD = THE RECORD HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED MANY TIMES, BUT DISPLAYS NO MAJOR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY, DESPITE NOTICABLE SURFACE MARKS AND THE OCCASIONAL LIGHT SCRATCH. NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE COVER AND EXTRA ITEMS, WITHOUT ANY MAJOR DEFECTS. THE GRADES MIGHT BE TWEAKED BY + AND - 's.**
I WILL USUALLY TRY TO TEST/PLAY THE RECORD ON A VARIETY OF DECKS/SYSTEMS ; TECHNICS SL1200, GEMINI 600II, NUMARK PT01 AND ION USB.
POSTAGE & PACKING
Please note that as ebay have now reversed their free P&P rule for the UK, I have now reintroduced my fair P&P rate for UK standard 1st class delivery.
UK 1st class = £2.80 (please add 50p for each additional 12"/LP. If you require recorded delivery then please add £ 1, if you require special delivery, then please add £ 4.00).
Europe airmail = £ 4.00 (please add £1 for each additional 12"/LP. If you require signed for and insured delivery please ask)
USA,Canada,Worldwide airmail = £ 7.00 (please add £2 for each additional 12"/LP. If you require signed for and insured delivery please ask).
I take great care when packaging and sending my items. My items are sent in new protective plastic sleeves, within a larger, thick cardboard package, stamped 'RECORDS please do not bend' ( where appropriate the record is taken out of its picture sleeve and placed into a plain sleeve, to avoid cover damage in transit ).
IMPORTANT A 'proof of posting' certificate and receipt is obtained for all items sent. In the very rare case of an item going missing, a claim can be submitted to the Royal Mail, but this will only cover the first £28 of the items value and is obviously subject to the Royal Mails investigation into the loss. For valueable items there is an insured/signed for option, please ask for details/quotes.
