During more than eight years of trading on ebay, I have received around 2,600 positive feedbacks from over 2,000 individual customers, almost all from the sale of vinyl records.

I take great pride in ensuring that my items are always described accurately and fairly. All my items come with a full money-back guarantee - if it's not as described, you can return it for a full refund.

THERE IS NO RESERVE PRICE ON THIS AUCTION - THE HIGHEST BIDDER WINS!

THIS ITEM WILL BE POSTED WITHIN ONE DAY OF PAYMENT.

PLEASE NOTE: THERE ARE 12 PHOTOS IN THIS LISTING. USE THE SCROLL BAR BESIDE THE THUMBNAILS TO SEE THEM ALL.

Nice example of this classic album which looks and sounds great.

Vinyl: The vinyl has retained its original high sheen, although under bright light, hairlines, fine marks and scuffs were visible, and there are a couple of more-prominent LOOKING marks on side one, but none of these has any audible impact. I have played the entire record and it sounds fantastic. There is some soft background noise and crackle which can be heard in the quiet parts and the run-ins/outs, fades, silent grooves and intros and the occasional random click. But there is absolutely nothing loud or intrusive anywhere. The whole album sounds superb and much of it, especially on side two, sounds Near Mint. However, there are two exceptions  - there are fourteen clicks in the quiet start to 'Thank you' on side one (although they are not caused by the marks mentioned above) and six soft clicks in the quiet intro to 'Bring it on home'. Were it not for these two issues, side one would have play-graded EASILY Excellent (Ex) or Excellent plus (Ex+) and side two would have been Excellent plus (Ex+) or even better, but obviously these two issues will down-grade these overall play-gradings. But even-so, this is a superb example and was a real pleasure to listen to.
Labels: Both labels look great with no damage, writing, stickers etc, just spindle trails and a few small marks.
Sleeve: The sleeve has no writing, splits, tears etc and just normal signs of use. There is a very small sticker tear (just a few milimetres) on the front cover and little bit of sticker residue. There is wear around the edges and corners, some knocks and dents to the leading edges and a few small marks and dents elsewhere, but overall this is a sound example with no major issues. Inside the gatefold is very fresh and clean.
Edge wear: There is storage wear to the top and, especially, bottom edges but no splits. The spine is solid and firm with some wear at the corners and slight wear near the centre but the text is still readable. There are light signs of use, with some knocks and dents at the opening and opposite edge.
Corner wear: There is noticeable wear at the corners, but nothing unsightly and no splits.
Inner sleeve: Plain

Detracting features not covered above:  None.

Information about descriptions.
My items are always described accurately and fairly. I always do my best to point out any blemishes which might detract from the item and all photographs are of the actual item you will get.

Play-graded vinyl: I play grade records where possible but I don't have time to play them all. I always state in the listing if I have played a record prior to describing it.

Visually-graded vinyl: Unless specifically stated in the listing, vinyl is visually graded.  A visual grading will identify physical flaws (such as scratches) and can help determine whether a record has been cared-for properly. I always do my best to give a fair assessment of any visible marks on the playing surface, but a visual grading will not identify noise or crackle caused by non-visible sources. Most of the records I sell are between thirty and fifty years old and so it is likely that there may be some background noise even if they look perfect. Please see Terms and Conditions below for my refunds policy for visually graded records.

******************************************

I have some very simple terms and conditions. Please read them and ensure that you understand them before bidding. Thank you.

TERMS & CONDITIONS

• My items are fully guaranteed - if it is not as described you can return it for a full refund, including postage. Refunds for visually graded records which are returned based upon the buyer's assessment of the record's playgrade, will not include postage costs in either direction.
• Your bid is binding, so please make sure you have READ and UNDERSTOOD the WHOLE LISTING before you bid. I will not accept returns where the buyer has not read or not understood something which is stated/shown in the listing.
  
• I accept Paypal and postal orders (in UK Sterling GBP) for all purchases.  I also accept cheques (in UK Sterling GBP) on orders OVER £50.
• Please pay for your item within three days of the auction closing. If you are intending to bid on other items and wish to pay when they have closed, please contact me to let me know. I reserve the right to cancel any transactions and offer the item to the second highest bidder if no contact or payment is made within three days.

******************************************

POSTAGE & PACKING

I care about the records I sell and believe that they need to be carefully and securely packaged to ensure that they survive their journey through the post. Vinyl is removed from the sleeve for posting and the contents will be protected with rigid cardboard stiffeners. All packages are labelled "Do not bend" and securely sealed with "FRAGILE" parcel tape.

I support the use of recycled materials and so I may sometimes use recycled packaging. If you wish your item to be sent in entirely new packaging please let me know before paying for it. Thanks.

******************************************

P&P charges

I try not to charge more for packing and posting your item than it actually costs me. I do not view P&P costs as a means of making money. But please remember it's not just the stamps - I need to cover the cost of postage and packing materials and associated fees and charges.

My prices are based on a weight of 550 grams (for a standard single LP, well packed with stiffeners etc). Depending on the precise weight of your parcel, you may end up paying a few pence more or a few pence less than it actually costs me, but if the amount charged by the post office is £2 or more under what I have charged you I will refund the difference.

Double LPs will be charged as two LPs, triple LPs will be charged as three LPs. Box sets etc will be charged according to weight.

UK P&P costs

UK Standard service - items valued below £50 are sent using first class recorded post. The cost for this is as follows:

One to four LPs (with a combined total value below £50) = £5.20.
