Description
The Johnny Almond Music Machine – Patent Pending, 1969 mono LP Deram DML 1043.
This is an OK example of the mono LP Patent Pending by The Johnny Almond Music Machine. It was released on the Deram label in 1969 – DML 1043. Side One of the record grades as close to EX with one small exception. There are some small scuff-marks that affect the first minute or so of the second track – with some quiet ‘sshh’ noises on each revolution for that time. Not terrible but it is just noticeable for that minute or so. Side Two is mostly in the same condition but there is one scratch that I need to note that affects the last 45 seconds of the first track and 100 seconds of the second track. It sounds as a ‘click’ on each revolution. Not ideal, but as I say – other than that it is all close to EX and it will make a decent ‘playing copy’. The record is in the correct red-edged lined inner-sleeve.The cover grades as VG+ as there are a couple of minor faults. There is a crease towards the top left corner and in that same corner on the spine there is some rubbing. And on the front towards the bottom edge there are two small slits that look to have been deliberately cut (or they have been ‘caused’ by something quite specific as they are identical, and are both the same size, and the same distance – 3¼” – from the left and right edges). The back of the cover is un-affected but one side of the inner-sleeve has those same ‘slits’. Very odd, as I have never seen another LP cover with such a fault.
It is impossible to be an expert in all realms of collecting, and I am honestly representing this item to the best of my knowledge and ability. If the item has a fault then I have mentioned it. I ask that you read the description and examine the photos carefully. I also encourage you to ask any questions you may have during the auction to help clarify identification or condition, as I may inadvertently omit information that you as a collector feel is important.
If after you receive the item there is any problem at all please let me know BEFORE leaving feedback or leaving a low Item As Described rating. If you do not let me know of a problem I have no way of knowing what may have been wrong and I really do want to sort it out.
I am not able to provide scans of paper items and I have no facility to record / copy any records.
Browsing !
Rather than click on the See Other Items link, if you click on either the red Door symbol or the words Oldvan's Shop you will see my auction items and my Buy It Now items split into various categories which will make browsing easier! e.g. 7" single records, LP's, Books, Toys etc etc. You will not have to wade through hundreds of items that you are perhaps not interested in.
CONDITION. The majority of items that I list are between forty and sixty years old. Some are older and some may be a few years younger. I have described the condition of the item in my text but where applicable I have also ticked the 'used' box as even where an item is 'perfect', it is very old and logic says it must have been handled and probably used at some time over the decades!
ALL of my AUCTION ITEMS are now listed with basic / second class POSTAGE INCLUDED in the UK.
Despite the Free P&P notice shown on this listing it is not actually free to post of course! I have to pay to post them and each week / month / year I pay many thousands of pounds to my local post office. But for UK bidders the price you see at the end of the auction is the total price you pay. If by some remote chance anyone out there - including the Bods at eBay who came up with the Free P&P notice - can tell me where you really can post items for free I would really LOVE to know.
DELIVERY TIMES. Although I have ticked the Royal Mail 2nd Class Standard option, please note that this service is reliable and often is unexpectedly fast. Customers often receive their item within 48-60 hours of paying, and so please disregard the 'estimated delivery time' stated near the top of this page - which I have no control over.
I have also listed other faster options for UK postage (First Class Recorded Delivery + Special Delivery is available) and also various options for overseas buyers that are stated when you click on the P&P Tab.
Worldwide Postage / Shipping.
Upate - April 2013 - After huge increases last year that I had to pass on, this year Royal Mail have only really 'tweaked' air mail prices. Nearly all of my postage rates remain unchanged since April 2012. And please note that I have been able to reduce the cost of some of the heavier items like LP records!
IF YOU ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON MORE THAN ONE ITEM PLEASE CONTACT ME IN ADVANCE FOR A QUOTE.
I AM ALWAYS HAPPY TO COMBINE SHIPPING AND WITH THE NEW ROYAL MAIL PRICING BANDS MANY ADDITIONAL ITEMS WILL EFFECTIVELY HAVE FREE POSTAGE. In the case of 7" singles there will be a small charge for a second one but third and fourth records can go for no extra money. Also - please see my discounts for Fixed Price / Buy It Now records.
IF YOU WIN MORE THAN ONE ITEM PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE BEFORE PAYING.
TRACKING NUMBER. If an item sells for more than £35, (or for a package that has a total value of more than £35) it will need to be sent with a Tracking Number - the Royal Mail's International Signed For service. This costs an additional £5 and that price will be added so that both you - the Buyer - and myself are covered under the buyer protection policy.
PACKAGING. Please note that all of my items are well-packed in either board-backed enveloples, thick card or in boxes, and then wrapped in good quality brown paper. I do not make any separate charge for packaging materials - everything is included in the final price. Many of my feedback comments mention my good packaging and I will of course continue to meet my own standards.
Payment
UK WINNERS - I still accept and am very happy to receive cheques and postal orders as payment methods, as well as PayPal.
I will send an invoice to the winner soon after the auction ends. If not using PayPal, when you first email me PLEASE include your postal / shipping details.
