Description
UK FIRST PRESSING VINYL LP IN GATEFOLD SLEEVE. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL UK 1969 STEREO FIRST PRESSING ON PINK ISLAND WITH A2 / B3 MATRIXES, AND THE MATT FINISHED E J DAY SLEEVE. Please read the full item description details below, because this album is in lesser condition than what we normally sell, and are only listing it due to its considerable rarity and collectability as it is a true first pressing - we are listing it very cheap and it is sold As Is, as described below, and we are going to let the market decide the value of this particular copy.
STAMPERS IN RUN-OFF GROOVES: ILPS 9111 A2 [1 2 9] / B3 [11 11]
SLEEVE: VERY GOOD MINUS, SUFFERING FROM SHELF WEAR, EDGE WEAR AND SOME SCUFFS AND MINOR CREASING - PLEASE SEE PHOTOS - THIS IS A SERVICEABLE BUT NOTGREAT SLEEVE - IT DOES BENEFIT FROM HAVING NO ACTUAL DAMAGE, JUST WEAR, AND NO WRITING OR OTHER DEFECTS ON IT.
DISC: RECORD COLLECTOR GUIDE WOULD GRADE THIS LP VERY GOOD, BUT WE PREFER TO BE MORE SPECIFIC SO AS NOT TO DECEIVE ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER. BOTH SIDES PLAY WITH NO SKIPS OR JUMPS, BUT THIS DISC HAS CLEARLY BEEN PLAYED A BIT, IT HAS SOME LIGHT HAIRLINES AND FINGERNAIL SCUFFS AND A FEW LIGHT SURFACE SCRATCHES - AURALLY THERE IS EVIDENCE OF TICKS AND SURFACE NOISE IN SOME PLACES, IN PARTICULAR THE QUIETEST PASSAGES - WE FIND THIS ALBUM STILL LISTENABLE AS A TRUE FIRST PRESSING, BUT FOR MOST KC FANS THIS WILL SUFFICE ONLY UNTIL A NEAR MINT COPY CAN BE FOUND AND/OR AFFORDED. IT DOES GET YOU 'IN' THE FIRST PRESSING BAG, SO TO SPEAK, AND IT DOES PLAY WITH NO SKIPS OR JUMPS - IT IS A USEFUL COPY AS A POINT OF REFERENCE WHEN COMPARING CDS OR OTHER PRESSINGS, AND THE LOUDER TRACKS DO SOUND PRETTY GOOD. THE LABELS ARE CLEAN WITH SOME SPINDLE WEAR AND FINGER GREASE SPOTS BUT THEY ARE FREE OF ANY DAMAGE OR WRITING. WE HAVE PLAYED THIS LP THROUGH BOTH SIDES ON A TOP DECK, AND CONCLUDE IT IS DEFINATELY A VERY GOOD BASED ON RECORD COLLECTOR'S GRADING SYSTEM, BUT AS THIS IS A GRADE WE RARELY SELL RECORDS OF, WE ARE OFFERING THIS RARITY AS IS AT A BARGAIN OPENING PRICE.
THIS ITEM SHIPS FROM THE UK:
Paypal and eBay Buyer and Seller Protection Policies require that sellers ship all packages with proof of delivery. This protects both the buyer and the seller from loss or non-receipt. Therefore, we can only ship inside the UK with Signed-For Delivery (3-5 days average delivery time), and outside the UK via Royal Mail Small Packet Air Mail with Tracked and Signed-For Delivery, which takes on average, 10-12 days to arrive. We will enter the tracking number in your eBay Items Won section shortly after it has shipped, from which you can track the package by clicking to the Royal Mail website. We regret having to use this method of shipping because it costs nearly a third more than regular air mail, but this does assure you and us of delivery and complies with Paypal’s requirements placed on the seller if you choose to use Paypal as your method of payment.
We provide quality merchandise and a safe, reliable, fast shipping service (see our 12 years of eBay feedback). Please do not email us asking for alternative or cheaper shipping methods as we do not reply to these emails and we block all user IDs from bidding on our auctions that query the shipping details at any time. We very clearly state in all auctions how we ship and what it costs, therefore shipping rates quoted are not negotiable. If you do not want the service we are offering at the price stated, please simply just click away from our listings and bid elsewhere – there are thousands of other sellers offering LPs for sale at varying rates and conditions on eBay, and we welcome all competition because this gives you the choice of where to make your purchases. We are confident that we offer some of the best condition LPs on eBay (we never offer anything that we would not accept in our own collections) and provide one of the fastest and most reliable shipping services of any eBay seller. We wish for your records to arrive in the same condition that they leave us – this requires proper packing materials and protection whilst in transit. Our Shipping and Handling rates reflect actual postage costs with international tracking, quality mailers and any other packaging materials required.
And if you open your package carefully the mailers are re-usable, which is good value for you and great for our .
Add £3.00 for each additional LP/12 inch up to a maximum of 5 LPs (which is just under 2kgs - the maximum weight for Royal Mail Small Packet Air Mail). After a total of 5 LPs per package a new package must be sent, the first LP being £14.99 then £3.00 each extra up to 5 in total. Ridiculous as it may seem, due to UK mailing rules, it is never cheaper to send packages weighing more than 2kgs per package via Parcel Force in one large package than it is to send multiple just-under 2kg Royal Mail Air Mail Small Packets. We cannot ship surface mail because delivery times do not match eBay/Paypal’s required delivery dates.
