No Dice

'Cool Me Down'

Western Hemisphere, USA, 1976

WH-1003

EXTREMELY OBSCURE release issued on a notorious Tax Loss label similar in physical style and feel to albums being issued at the time on Guinness, Tiger Lilly and Dellwood. These were records issued in limited quantities - often music stolen from demo tapes or obscure private pressings - and then used in a tax scam/money laundering operation. They have recently become highly collectable and the No Dice album is a prime example - serious hard rock all the way on this one.

Very hard to find.

Pressing: Western Hemisphere, USA, 1976

Vinyl: This is in pretty much unplayed condition. No spindle marks and virtually no signs of use. However, collectors of US pressing around the mid seventies will recognise the familiar blemishes on the album surface when held in a certain light, mainly due to the manufacturing process. Also displays some storage dust to the surface. Visually grades as a strong Ex. Playback is MINT-!

Cover: Signs of storage wear. Sharp corners (one slightly worn), no dings, no bends, light ring wear, no split seams and no creases. Spine is stiff and square. Pr*mo hole top right. Displays evidence of light brown mould spots - obviously had been stored in a garage or basement at some point. Grades as Vg+

Inserts: None

This is a vinyl album NOT a CD. No time wasters, nit pickers or deadbeats- retribution will be swift and mercyless. Bidders with very low feedback new to ebay are often deadbeats so please don't be surprised if I run a check on you in advance. All gradings are visual but may have been spot tested to double check. I very rarely list records that are in any way scratched- they go in the trash- and I will only list a scratched record if scarcity dictates otherwise but with full disclosure. Often vinyl display 'scuffs' which are surface marks (mostly caused by sliding in and out of the inner sleeve or careless handling) but NOT scratches and they do not have any effect on playback. If the vinyl has a scuff I will try and mention it. Even my Vg+ records are way better than most gradings on ebay- check my feedback for vindication.Gradings are cover/vinyl. All records are sold as-is that means no refunds or returns except in very rare circumstances. I am not a lending libary so don't ask for a refund (I've been burn't in the past with people buying records, taping or CDRing and then returning them and I've also had scratched records returned in place of clean albums). If you do not accept this rule then please don't bid. I accept Paypal, UK cheques/PO's, Euro's. NO US checks or MO's. Insurance against loss or damage is not included and must be requested seperately if required. I will only refund you when I have received the refund, if any, from the Post Office which could take months. Payment must be received within 10 days- no excuses. Hey why not check out my other auctions and save with multiple postage. I list a fine selection of seventies leaning Prog, Psych, Hard Rock, Folk, AOR and Country Rock on a near weekly basis so make sure you check in regularly or you may miss some good and unusual stuff. Lastly feel free to get in touch if you have any specific wants. Thanks.
