All Bidders- Please read below for Postage Details (International), My Grading Descriptions for Condition (important!) and all other relevant information.

Mental as Anything- Get Wet LP (Australian Regular Label Pressing with insert, 1979)

Here's a nice copy of this classic Australian album with 2 bonus transparency pictures (see picture 2). I have never seen these elsewhere, and they are variations on the sprinkler picture on the rear cover....

This record features their massive hit 'The Nips are Getting Bigger'. It captures them still in their early period- as previously, they had only released an EP.

Don't forget to check my other items- lots of other good rock & related LPs. I have a lot more up for auction by Australian and New Zealand Artists

Cover- see picture. Clean and presents very well- just some minor wear, noticeable in a few places, and around edges. No splits or tears

It is worth noting that postage may work out cheaper if you are buying mutliple items- I work out all combined postage by weight, not on a per item basis. That way you have the best chance to get a good deal on postage rates, wherever you live. I have a huge list of other interesting titles currently on ebay so check them out at "sellers other items" - you may be suprised what you'll find!!!! US Buyers note that all packages over 480gms are subject to the $9 US customs tax.(this will not apply to a single LP)

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN COMBINED POSTAGE I AM HAPPY TO GIVE QUOTES FOR LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL POSTAGE.

AUSSIE BIDDERS NOTE- when combining postage for LPs you can usually combine 3-4 titles in the next price bracket of up to 1kg (price varies by postcode)

HANDLING PERIOD: I always do my best to post within 24 hrs of receiving payment, but because I live in a rural area, this cannot always be possible. If there is some reason preventing my usual fast postage regime, I will notify you.

INSURANCE: Please tell me if you want your item insured or registered (in the case of domestic postage). I will give you the relevant price quote for these additional costs, as quickly as possible.

INTERNATIONAL POSTAGE RATES (AIR MAIL):

NEW ZEALAND- $14.15             ASIA- $16.75

USA& CANADA- $19.25          EUROPE- $23.25

Upon the buyer's request, I might be open to sending items by sea mail, to help save money in freight- especially if this is a large combined lot. Please note, this only applies to regions C and D (USA, Canada, Middle East, Europe, etc- not Asia and NZ). It will most likely take more than six weeks for the items to arrive. 

Thanks for looking and happy shopping!!!!

Grading/ condition descriptions.

ABOUT THIS GRADING SCALE: it is meant to reflect both the appearance and sound quality of the LP in question. If I ever have doubts re. grading, I play test the item in question. I endeavour to keep my vinyl clean, and so an LP rated EX, for instance, should play that way without you having to clean it first! I try to be careful and tough with my grading (as I hate it when I buy LPs online that don't meet what I think these grades are!), but if you are not satisfied for any reason- please contact me!

Those of you that are perfectionists should not be disappointed with anything in the scales between MINT and EXCELLENT, but if the item is below that rating, please read the descriptions carefully! 

I occasionally use a + or - to show if the LP is on the high or low side of that grade. That does not mean, however, that an EX-, for instance, is the same as VG+.

MINT: new/ unplayed. I only give this grading if I can verify that it is unused. LPS that look flawless, without that verification will be MINT-

NEAR MINT Very minor flaws/ very few fine lines or imperfections. In general- will look& sound great

EXCELLENT Minor flaws/ wear such as fine lines, fine scuffs, or minor scratches that will have a minimal impact on play response.  Sound quality should be great!

VERY GOOD Will have flaws such as scuffs, scratches, wear or other marks, but these will not be significant enough for the record to play badly. In fact, typically an LP with this grading will play and sound fine- no probs for those of you who like to listen to your vinyl; just not recommended for those of you that are perfectionists. Take note of any additional comments I might make with items of this grade- especially if they are below the VG+ level. They will usually be scuffier below this level.

GOOD An LP with this grading will have significant scratches, scuffs or other wear. I only will list items with this grading if obscure or of significant interest, and in this case I will play test it and give a detailed response to how well it plays in the general item description above. Usually an LP with this grading will play OK, but could have louder crackles, and/or clicks; depending on variablility between turntables there could be tracking issues too.

About ME: My husband and I are both collectors of music, books, tapes, CDs and other interesting retro items, and usually only sell when we have stockpiled enough stuff we are no longer interested in, to make it viable. Usually we are just happy buying rather than selling!!
