NON UK BUYERS PLEASE NOTE MY COMMENTS REGARDING INTERNATIONAL MAIL BELOW...RETURNS POLICY ONLY APPLICABLE TO UK..RETURNS OUTSIDE UK BUYER WILL HAVE TO COVER ALL POSTAGE COSTS Furthermore international bidders please also note that due to ebays new "buyer protection " policy many sellers now refuse to sell internationally anymore. I am not one of those sellers yer but please note I do now reserve the right to refuse to complete a sale to any international bidder that may have low or bad feedback or for any other reason and this is especially so if the item sells for over GBP 100, like I say this is purely a result of ebay/paypals new policy that make it now even harder for sellers to  trade safely internationally. Please bare this in mind if you win an item but find that it has been offered first instead to a domestic UK Bidder.

FOR BIDDERS WITH ZERO FEEDBACK THIS IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT...   I have recently been the victim of serveral spurious bids from several different members (usually based in the Russian Federation). Please note that if you win any of my items and have zero feedback I will ask you for immediate payment or for you to email and immediately confirm that you were a genuine bidder. Failiure to meet either of those critiera will result in the item being  offered to the next highest bidder without further delay. thank you. 

ALL MY RECORDS ARE USUALLY SOLD ON VISUAL GRADINGS ONLY, THEREFORE ( WITH THE SINGULAR EXCEPTION OF THOSE RARE OCCASSIONS WHERE I DO STATE THEY HAVE BEEN PLAY GRADED ) AS ALL DISCS ARE 2ND HAND ANY PLAYING DEFECTS ARE CAVIAT EMPTOR AND SO ARE NOT ANY BASIS FOR A REFUND. HOWEVER YOU MAY STILL TRADE WITH CONFIDENCE AS I DO  REFUND  WHEREVER AN ACTUAL GRADING OF MINE IS EVER DISPUTED.

LEMON SONG CREDIT, LIGHT BROWN SLEEVE......L@@K

THE ATLANTIC RED PLUM LABELS ON THIS LP LAST UNTIL EARLY 1972 WHEN KIINEY TOOK OVER FROM POLYDOR IN THE UK AND THEY SWITCHED TO THE GREEN/ORANGE LABELS AND K FOR KINNEY CATALOGUE NUMBERS

 I UNDERSTAND THAT OF THE RED PLUM LABELS THERE ARE THREE DISTINCT VARIANTS, THE FIRST TWO BEING THE MOST COLLECTABLE. THIS VARIANT IS THE SECOND ONE WITH " THE LEMON SONG " INSTEAD OF " KILLING FLOOR " CREDIT.

FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND IT WAS DECIDED THAT THIS TRACK WAS A COVER OF " KILLING FLOOR " AND NOT A  SELF PENNED TRACK CALLED " THE LEMON SONG " AND SO HAD TO BE CORRECTED AND THE COMPOSERS CREDITS ALSO CHANGED.

ALSO I UNDERSTAND THE EARLY SLEEVES ARE A MUCH LIGHTER BROWN IN COLOUR LIKE THIS ONE, AFTER 1969 THEY APPARENTLY GET MUCH DARKER IN COLOUR.

DOMESTIC UK RECORDED SIGNED FOR DELIVERY COSTS FOR A SINGLE LP GBP 3.99 AND FOR A DOUBLE 4.99, FOR INTERNATIONAL BUYERS PLEASE SEE MY NOTES BELOW - GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!!

CONDITION......

SLEEVE:  PRETTY TYPICAL FOR ONE OF THESE. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A DECENT ONE, THIS ONE HAS FAIRLY USUAL WARE, SOME EFFECTS OF DAMP ON THE INSIDE, AND AT TARE AT THE BACK. HOWEVER THERE IS ONE THING THAT RAISES THIS SLIGHTLY ABOVE THE NORM, AND THAT IS IT STILL HAS A TOTALLY READABLE SPINE ( WHICH I THINK YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICS ). THAT REALLY IS UNUSUAL AND IS A REAL BONUS. THERE IS A PRICE TAG ON THE FRONT ( AND NO THIS DID NOT COST ME £ 115! I DID A DEAL HONEST! ) WHICH CAN PROBABLY BE STEAMED OFF. IN MY OPINION THIS SLEEVE IS BETTER THAN GOOD BECAUSE OF THE SPINE, SO I GRADE VG-

VINYL  : STILL RETAINS A LOVELY BRIGHT SHEEN, SOME MINOR LIGHT MARKS MOSTLY ONLY VISABLE UNDER MY BRIGHT HALOGEN LAMP. WOULD GRADE EX- EASY SAVE FOR A MINOR SKIP AT THE END OF THE LEMON SONG BUT THIS COULD BE CORRECTED, JUST GOOGLE VINYL SCRATHES ON THE NET AND YOU CAN GET SOME USEFUL TIPS ON HOW THIS CAN BE DONE. BUT REGARDLESS THIS IS WAY BETTER THAN THE USUAL TRASHED COPY !!

LABELS: NO WRITINGS OR LABELS, BOTH SIDES GRADE EXCELLENT  

 A VERY ACCEPTABLE RARITY ..... GOOD LUCK TO ALL BIDDERS!!

(Please note that whilst I try to endeavour to adhere to strict RC gradings I will never describe ANYTHING AS MINT even when I think it to be so. As far as I am concerned any secondhand item by definition cannot be mint. However if I believe an item to be Mint  I will instead either use the terms Near Mint, mint minus, or in archive or vault condition. When I use these terms you know that in my opinion this is in effect a de-facto Mint grade )

Dont forget to take a look at my other items. Please feel free to contact me with any queries you may have.

                                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I ONLY DO A COUPLE OF RUNS A WEEK TO THE POST OFFICE BUT MY ITEMS ARE ALWAYS DISPATCHED WELL WITHIN ONE CALENDAR WEEK OF PAYMENT BEING RECEIVED. I APOLOGISE IN ADVANCE TO THOSE BUYERS WHO SEEM TO EXPECT THEIR ITEM TO ARRIVE THE NEXT DAY, IF YOU WANT TO CHECK WHEN AN ITEM WAS SENT JUST PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AND I WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO TELL YOU!! (SOME PEOPLE DO MAKE YOU LAUGH, FOR ITEMS I BUY I ONLY NORMALLY GET CONCERNED AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND EVEN AFTER THAT THEN ONLY POLIETELY ENQUIRE IF AND WHEN THE ITEM WAS SENT).

                                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PAYMENTS BY PAYPAL ARE PREFERRED BUT I ALSO ACCEPT OTHER METHODS. I ALSO POST WORLDWIDE (PLS APPLY FOR RATES) BUT DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH A DISREPUTABLE BUYER IN JAPAN (PIGGIESSS - I AM HAPPY TO NAME THEM) , FOR ALL PAYMENTS MADE VIA PAYPAL THE ITEM WILL ONLY BE SENT BOTH TO THE UK AND WORLDWIDE BY RECORDED OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR DELIVERY. THIS IS TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY ATTEMPT TO CLAIM BACK THE PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL EVEN AFTER ACTUALLY HAVING RECEIVED THE ITEM.

THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS HAD THE RESULT OF INCREASING MY COSTS FOR POSTING AND PACKING AND I AM VERY SORRY FOR THIS BUT PAYPAL OFFER NO PROTECTION FOR SELLERS UNLESS THERE IS PROOF OF DELIVERY!! PROOF OF POSTING WOULD SEEM INSUFFICIENT TO THEM AND I HAVE FOUND THIS OUT THE HARD WAY..

DUE TO THE BEHAVIOUR OF THIS SAME BUYER PAYPAL PAYMENTS WILL ALSO NOT BE ACCEPTED FROM BUYERS WHO DO NOT ALLOW THEIR FEEDBACK TO READ, SO IF YOU FALL INTO THIS CATEGORY PLEASE DO NOT BID ON MY ITEMS UNLESS YOU CAN PAY BY ANOTHER METHOD…….EUROPE INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR MAIL COSTS ARE USUALLY GBP 8.99 FOR A SINGLE LP AND FOR USA/REST OF WORLD IT IS USUALLY GBP 12.99 FOR A SINGLE AND GBP 15.99 FOR A DOUBLE
