A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OBTAIN A SUPERB EXAMPLE INDEED OF THIS VERY RARE RECORD.

JADE WARRIOR – RELEASED

UK, 1971, FIRST PRESSING, VERTIGO ‘SWIRL’ LABEL, VERTIGO 6360 062 IN ITS ORIGINAL 6 PAGE, UNLAMINATED, FOLD OUT COVER.

ONE OF THE BEST AND RAREST ON THE SWIRL LABEL, IN A CONDITION VERY HARD TO USUALLY FIND FOR SALE.

 SIDE A MATRIX – 6360062   1 Y // 1  420    1 1     2

SIDE B MATRIX – 6360062   2 Y // 1  420     1  1  3

 THIS IS FROM MY OWN PERSONAL RECORD COLLECTION, WHICH I HAVE DECIDED TO DOWNSIZE. ALL MY RECORDS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN TREATED WITH THE UTMOST RESPECT SINCE PURCHASE eg ALWAYS STORED, FROM PURCHASE, IN PLASTIC COVERS; ALWAYS PLAYED ON ‘HI FI’ EQUIPMENT; NEVER LOANED. EVEN NOW, IN THIS AGE OF CDs, I GET ‘SQUEMISH’ AT THE SIGHT OF DRAMA ACTORS HANDLING RECORDS WITH THEIR MITTS ALL OVER THE GROOVES RATHER THAN WITH RESPECT BY THE EDGES!

 UNDER A STRONG FOCUSSED LIGHT I CAN SEE NO OBVIOUS SCRATCHES OR MARKS – NOT EVEN, APPARENTLY, SLEEVE SCUFFING. THE RECORD HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED FOR MANY, MANY YEARS UNTIL A RECENT PRE-SALE TEST PLAYING (On my SYSTEMDEK IIX / Cambridge Audio system). THE SOUND CAME THROUGH CRISP, CLEAN, NO OBVIOUS JUMPS OR CLICKS, WITH THAT LUSH ‘VINYL’ SOUND (Sorely missed in this digital age).

 AS SUCH, AS IT HAS BEEN PLAYED, I GRADE THE RECORD AT EX+

 AS THE VINYL LOOKS AND SOUNDS SO CLEAN AND CRISP I HAVE DECIDED NOT TO GET THIS RECORD CLEANED BEFORE SALE.

THE RECORD CENTRE LABELS ARE ALSO UNMARKED – NO SPINDLE MARKS, WEAR ETC.

BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN PROTECTED THE SLEEVE TOO IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. ANY ‘FAULTS’ I HAVE TRIED TO SHOW IN THE PHOTOS ATTACHED:-

BOTH THE CREASE INTERSECTIONS HAVE MARGINALLY WORN THROUGH – PHOTOS 5 & 6

TOP OF LEFT HAND CREASE SLIGHTLY SPLIT, BY .8 CM – PHOTO 7

MILD CREASE TO BOTTOM LEFT CORNER – PHOTO 11, BUT NOT AS CLEAR TO SEE AS I WOULD WISH

SPINE IS UNDAMAGED BAR A ½ CM LOSS OF PRINT SURFACE AT ONE END, BUT HAS SOME LIGHT CAUSED  COLOUR LOSS

AND, MUCH TO MY REGRET, MY NAME IS WRITTEN IN SMALL CAPITALS CLOSE TO AN EDGE ON THE INSIDE, UNPRINTED SIDE – PHOTO 12.

 AS SUCH I GRADE THE SLEEVE AT EX (at least)

 AS A FIRST PRESSING, IT ALSO HAS ITS ORIGINAL LARGE SWIRL INNER SLEEVE, COMPLETE WITH CLEAR PLASTIC LINING.  THIS INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN EX+ CONDITION – NO TEARS, MINIMAL CREASING AND ONLY SLIGHT AGE DISCOLOURATION.

THE SMALL PRINT

 My apologies for the de-listing / re-listing. On reviewing the details on this, my first significant sale item, i noticed that some of the data / criteria were incorrect.

PAYMENT

I regret that I am only in a position to accept payment by PayPal.

Please note – Zero / negative feedback bidders are not permitted unless they check with me first.  Any zero feedback bidders winning an item will have the item sold immediately to the underbidder.

PACKAGING

When posted I will remove the record from its inner sleeve and place it in a separate, new paper liner, and in turn in a sealed plastic cover. The cover and original liner will be placed together in a separate sealed plastic cover too. They will then be posted in a new, wraparound, cruciform mailer. I will also include some additional internal stiffening too.

POSTAGE

Any record selling for more than £25 will be sent, within the UK, by Royal Mail Special Delivery (includes insurance, and has to be signed for on receipt). Cost, including packaging, £7.

If purchased by an overseas buyer please wait until I have been able to check for postage rate to your location and can provide a total price invoice. Looking at other listings it appears that overseas signed for posting may cost up to around £15.

If you are not satisfied I will offer a complete refund. Any returns must be within 7 days of receipt, and as per E-bay policy return postage is paid by the buyer.
