Description

The experience of buying records on Ebay is ruined if, when they arrive, you discover that they are either not in the condition stated or have been damaged in the post! For this reason I describe all my items in detail, and only post using strong sturdy packaging in a 'box' mailer with the record outside the sleeve to avoid seam-splitting. They are also from a non-smoking and pet-free home.
I accept returns and offer a full refund if you are not happy with your purchase.

Morrissey - 'Ouija Board, Ouija Board' - UK Promo 12" - 1989

Catalogue no. 12POPDJ 1622 - HMV Records

When Morrissey embarked upon a solo career, his first six singles, from 'Suedehead' to 'November Spawned A Monster', were promoted to radio stations by a specially-issued 12" which had large 'A' and 'B' lettering on the labels and were distinguished by a differently-coloured die-cut outer sleeve in each case. These promo 12"s have now become extremely collectable, and this auction offers a rare opportunity to get hold of the fifth promotional 12" in the series; that which was produced for the 'Ouija Board, Ouija Board' single, and which has a bright yellow outer sleeve and yellow labels. This is an original and very scare example of a collectable which seems certain to rise in value as the popularity of collecting Smiths and Morrissey vinyl continues to grow.     

The vinyl and labels are in strong excellent condition, having clearly been played only once or twice and having been extremely well looked after. There are just a few of the lightest 'hairline' surface marks on the highly-glossy vinyl, which only become visible when held to the light. The outer sleeve is in excellent condition, having just one minor crease towards the top left corner and just the smallest beginnings of a seam-split in the centre of the bottom edge. The reverse of the sleeve has some 'score lines' and scuff marks in places, but there are no rips or tears and there is no writing on the sleeve. Please see the accompanying photos for more detail; note that the 'Ebay ID' lettering is just on the pictures and not on the item itself. 

All my auctions start at 1P and have NO RESERVE. They are all 100% genuine, original versions. Some are in mint/new condition and some are used; all will go to the highest bidder. I offer a money-back guarantee if anything is described incorrectly. Postage and Packing is 3.20 in the UK for untracked and uninsured standard postage, this is subsidised by myself and the actual costs to me will usually be higher. Please do consider paying the extra 70p for tracked postage since there is nothing that can be done to find out what happened if the parcel is lost when standard postage is chosen. Shipping costs are greater for overseas buyers, but still subsidised and very good value; please check prices by using the options above or feel free to ask. Extra items are sent at no extra postage charge to the buyer (see below). I always take great care to package items well with strong mailing materials.

See my other auctions for related rare items here. If multiple auctions are won at the same time (within a week), I will charge only the postage cost for the heaviest item and pay the remainder myself. This is the case wherever you live. If you are planning to bid, but cannot be around at the end of the auction, I have found this free site to be useful; note that I am not affiliated with the site in any way!
