	$		68

A  KIND NOTE FOR UK BIDDERS. I WILL SOON BE LOSING MY TOP SELLER STATUS THANKS TO THREE BUYERS IN 12 MONTHS WHO FOR SOME INEXPLICABLE REASON GAVE ME LESS THAN 3 STARS FOR POSTAGE AND PACKING. I SEND MANY ITEMS OUT FOR FREE AND OTHERS AT COST BUT BECAUSE I HAVE TO SEND SIGNED FOR MAIL TO PROTECT MYSELF AGAINST FRAUDSTERS SOME MAY FEEL THIS COST EXCESSIVE. 

I WOULD THEREFORE ASK ANYBODY WHO MISTAKENLY FEELS THIS WAY TO FIRST CHECK THEIR PARCEL AND SEE THE EXACT COST OF THE PACKAGE PRIOR TO LEAVING ANY FEEDBACK. SHOULD THEY THEN STILL FEEL I HAVE OVERCHARGED THEM PLEASE CONTACT ME AND I WILL REFUND THEM IMMEDIATELY . FOR GENERAL INFO WHEN THE COST OF PACKAGING IS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT OVERALL I LOSE MONEY ON THE POST AND PACKING AS I AM SURE MANY OTHER SELLERS DO ALSO. THANK YOU

NOT  ONLY A SUPERB UK 1ST PRESS WITH EARLY THIN SPINE AND RARE LYRIC INNER OMITTING THE MACLEN CLAIM ( SEE EXAMPLE PIC BELOW ) BUT ALSO WITH VERY EARLY SIDE TWO MOTHER STAMPER OF 1R MAKING THIS ONE OF ONLY A FEW HUNDRED MADE FROM ONLY THE SECOND LAQUER EVER MADE FOR THAT SIDE L@@K....

 WHEN THIS LP WAS RELEASED MACLEN WAS BEING SET UP AS A COUNTER CLAIM AGAINST NORTHERN SONGS WHICH HAD BEEN BOUGHT BY LEW GRADES ATV MUSIC. AS SUCH BOTH PAUL AND JOHN'S NEW RELEASES SPORTED THE MACLEN CLAIM FOR A SHORT TIME AT THE END OF 1970 AND INTO EARLY 1971, BUT IT SEEMS SOMEBODY FORGOT TO PUT THIS ON THE INNERS FOR THIS LP AND SO IT HAD TO BE HASTILY CORRECTED. AS SUCH THESE INNERS ARE MUCH MUCH HARDER TO COME BY

LOVELY RARER INNERED EARLY COPY WITH THAT 1R STAMPER - GOOD LUCK TO ALL BIDDERS!!

DOMESTIC UK POSTAGE NOTE:  ALL ITEMS THAT SELL  WILL NOW HAVE TO BE SENT VIA 2ND CLASS RECORDED/SIGNED FOR DELIVERY TO PREVENT FRAUDULANT CLAIMS OF NON RECEIPT  AS PER MY LISTING  FOR INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLS SEE MY FURTHER NOTES BELOW  

NON UK BUYERS PLEASE NOTE MY COMMENTS REGARDING INTERNATIONAL MAIL BELOW...RETURNS POLICY ONLY APPLICABLE TO UK..RETURNS OUTSIDE UK BUYER WILL HAVE TO COVER ALL POSTAGE COSTS Furthermore international bidders please also note that due to ebays new "buyer protection " policy many sellers now refuse to sell internationally anymore. I am not one of those sellers yer but please note I do now reserve the right to refuse to complete a sale to any international bidder that may have low or bad feedback or for any other reason and this is especially so if the item sells for over GBP 100, like I say this is purely a result of ebay/paypals new policy that make it now even harder for sellers to  trade safely internationally. Please bare this in mind if you win an item but find that it has been offered first instead to a domestic UK Bidder.

FOR BIDDERS WITH ZERO FEEDBACK THIS IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT...   I have recently been the victim of serveral spurious bids from several different members (usually based in the Russian Federation). Please note that if you win any of my items and have zero feedback I will ask you for immediate payment or for you to email and immediately confirm that you were a genuine bidder. Failiure to meet either of those critiera will result in the item being  offered to the next highest bidder without further delay. thank you. 

ALL MY RECORDS ARE USUALLY SOLD ON VISUAL GRADINGS ONLY, THEREFORE, WITH THE SINGULAR EXCEPT ION OF THOSE RARE OCCASSIONS WHERE I DO STATE THEY HAVE BEEN PLAY GRADED, AS ALL DISCS ARE 2ND HAND ANY PLAYING DEFECTS ARE THEREFORE CAVIAT EMPTOR AND SO NON REFUNDABLE. I ONLY REFUND  WHERE AN ACTUAL GRADING OF MINE IS DISPUTED     

(Please note that whilst I try to endeavour to adhere to strict RC gradings I will never describe ANYTHING AS MINT even when I think it to be so. As far as I am concerned any secondhand item by definition cannot be mint. However if I believe an item to be Mint  I will instead either use the terms Near Mint, mint minus, or in archive or vault condition. When I use these terms you know that in my opinion this is in effect a de-facto Mint grade )

Dont forget to take a look at my other items. Please feel free to contact me with any queries you may have.

                                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I ONLY DO A COUPLE OF RUNS A WEEK TO THE POST OFFICE BUT MY ITEMS ARE ALWAYS DISPATCHED WELL WITHIN ONE CALENDAR WEEK OF PAYMENT BEING RECEIVED. I APOLOGISE IN ADVANCE TO THOSE BUYERS WHO SEEM TO EXPECT THEIR ITEM TO ARRIVE THE NEXT DAY, IF YOU WANT TO CHECK WHEN AN ITEM WAS SENT JUST PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AND I WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO TELL YOU!! (SOME PEOPLE DO MAKE YOU LAUGH, FOR ITEMS I BUY I ONLY NORMALLY GET CONCERNED AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND EVEN AFTER THAT THEN ONLY POLIETELY ENQUIRE IF AND WHEN THE ITEM WAS SENT).

                                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PAYMENTS BY PAYPAL ARE PREFERRED BUT I ALSO ACCEPT OTHER METHODS. I ALSO POST WORLDWIDE (PLS APPLY FOR RATES) BUT DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH A DISREPUTABLE BUYER IN JAPAN (PIGGIESSS - I AM HAPPY TO NAME THEM) , FOR ALL PAYMENTS MADE VIA PAYPAL THE ITEM WILL ONLY BE SENT BOTH TO THE UK AND WORLDWIDE BY RECORDED OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR DELIVERY. THIS IS TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY ATTEMPT TO CLAIM BACK THE PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL EVEN AFTER ACTUALLY HAVING RECEIVED THE ITEM.

THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS HAD THE RESULT OF INCREASING MY COSTS FOR POSTING AND PACKING AND I AM VERY SORRY FOR THIS BUT PAYPAL OFFER NO PROTECTION FOR SELLERS UNLESS THERE IS PROOF OF DELIVERY!! PROOF OF POSTING WOULD SEEM INSUFFICIENT TO THEM AND I HAVE FOUND THIS OUT THE HARD WAY..

DUE TO THE BEHAVIOUR OF THIS SAME BUYER PAYPAL PAYMENTS WILL ALSO NOT BE ACCEPTED FROM BUYERS WHO DO NOT ALLOW THEIR FEEDBACK TO BE READ,

…….EUROPE INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR MAIL COSTS ARE USUALLY GBP 9.99 FOR A SINGLE LP AND FOR USA/REST OF WORLD IT IS USUALLY GBP 13.99 FOR A SINGLE AND GBP 16.99 FOR A DOUBLE LP
