Description
(Harvest "Heritage" SHDW 407 UK Double LP 1975)
This is an early UK double LP pressing in very nice overall condition! It has a matt gatefold sleeve & comes with its original generic company "EMI" paper inner sleeves. The "Harvest" labels have the "EMI Records Ltd..." text and have one boxed "EMI" logo.
This is a coupling of Kevin Ayers' 1st two UK solo LP's. "The Joy Of A Toy" from 1969 and "Shooting At The Moon" from 1970. Both are classic late 60's, early 70's Psych-Prog albums.
Gatefold Sleeve: There is a "Double Album" circular sticker on the front sleeve. There is also a mild circular sticker stain on the front sleeve too. There is one very small crease mark at the spine. There are two very small, light or very mild indentations on the front. This hardly notices. There is some light, mild or very mild foxing on some areas. VG+ condition
Vinyl 1: There are a few light, very mild or very minor sleeve rubs which can be seen under a strong light.
EX condition. The labels are in Very Near Mint condition and show next to no spindle wear. The inner sleeve is in EX condition. There is some light or very mild ringwear. Plays Excellent+ to Very Near Perfect overall. A top audio copy!
Vinyl 2: There are a some light, mild, very mild or minor sleeve rubs which can be seen under a strong light.
Very NEAR EX condition. The labels are in Very Near Mint condition and show next to no spindle wear. The inner sleeve is in Near EX condition. There is some light or very mild ringwear & creasing. Plays Excellent to Excellent+ overall, & Near Perfect in some places. A great audio copy!
Traceable insurance is already included in the stated P&P price for this listing. Postage is Free in the UK.
MINT Condition = As good as a copy you would buy from a shop, immaculate!
NEAR MINT Condition = Very nearly mint just slightly under, maybe a couple of very, very light paper sleeve scuffs that can only be seen under strong light. SOME WOULD CLASS THIS AS MINT. This disc has been played a couple of times at most. Cover is virtually perfect - very minimal wear only.
EX Condition = A clean & tidy copy that shows virtually no defects. Maybe one or two light needle scuffs or light sleeve removal marks that can only be seen under strong light. There will be no scratches. Play will be near perfect with no distortion. Cover will be very nice with maybe very minimal creasing, ringwear or edgewear.
NEAR EX Condition = You can tell this record has been played a few times but it has been well cared for. There will be minor surface marks only; that barely detract from the sound quality. Cover may have slight creasing or ringwear. A very serviceable copy that you will be pleased with.
VG Condition = A well played but serviceable copy. There will be a few marks on the vinyl, but they won't be nasty scratches, just relatively light needle scuffs and sleeve removal marks, they will be noticeable but won't detract from play too much. Cover will show signs of storage/ ageing, e.g., creasing, slight folding, spinewear, ringwear or sticker tears. The record will not be trashed!!
>> Postage Rates
PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU ONLY PAY FOR INSURANCE ONCE. IT IS THE SAME COST REGARDLESS OF PACKAGE WEIGHT. SO YOU CAN ORDER MORE ITEMS & PAY NO MORE FOR INSURANCE!
DISCOUNT WILL BE GIVEN ON POSTAGE FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS.
Please note that these prices are as a general guideline only. For example: Double LPs are classed as two LPs. Also posters, inserts, etc.. can increase postage costs. One parcel must not exceed 2kg (approximately 4-6 LPS).
All records will be sent in high quality vinyl mailers with at least two card stiffeners either side of the LP or 7". I use a cruciform box for larger orders (4-6 LPs). All parcels will be marked "Fragile" and dispatch time will generally be between 1-3 days after payment.
I will also remove the vinyl from the sleeve & place them in a re-sealable polythene sleeve. In order to prevent seam splits. Depending on the inner sleeve; I often remove the vinyl from the inner sleeve & place it in a separate plain paper, or polythene-lined, plain inner sleeve. I am very conscientious and careful when packaging your LP(s).
I consider my postage & packaging costs to be very transparent & very fair. Packaging costs will generally be between £0.80 to £1.50. I am not adding any further costs for handling, etc...
Sorry, I only accept Paypal, or money sent in a registered letter from overseas buyers.
Please note that I cannot reimburse payments for any uninsured items lost in the post. Sorry!
If you are uncertain about any of the above, or just simply want some information regarding any item, please do not hesitate to contact me. I welcome any questions.
