Description
I will declare a lower amount on the customs form for all countries so as to avoid/decrease high import charges. However, in the case of the EU all purchases are subject to VAT which eBay collect at point of sale. No shipping to Russia currently. Peter Gabriel : 2) Scratch / 3) Melt 4) Security
This is a superb set of Peter Gabriel LPs - two first pressings and one second press. As usual I have played every track in full and the grading is given below. They all play with exceptional quality - 'Scratch' has only a little static at the beginning of each side and 'Melt' is stunning throughout. Perhaps a little inner groove distortion towards the end of 'Biko' but it is minimal. 'Security' has only light static on the first track intro but otherwise plays with exceptional quality on both sides.
The vinyls are in lovely condition, they are very clean with hardly any hairlines and only 'Security' has a small section of faint hairline scuffs on S2 which has no affect on the audio. The labels are pristine with no spindle wear.
The covers are in great condition. 'Scratch' is Ex but the other two are definitely in the NM- / NM category. The original inner sleeves / lyric inners are all Near Mint if not better.

Postage & Packaging
I will only send items items worldwide via tracked shipping. This provides 'peace of mind' in case of loss or damage. The shipping costs are shown below and combined shipping is always offered. Any over-payment will always be refunded.
The Royal Mail only insure up to a value of £250 so if an item sells for more it may be wise to use a courier service (e.g. Parcelforce or DPD). An extra insurance premium will be required but I will not know the exact amount until the final sale price is known. Because of this I will sometimes have to estimate the cost and this will be shown in the listing. Please wait for the invoice before making payment and if you have any questions please feel free to ask. Many thanks.
All vinyls are packaged in strong over-sized custom made mailers with plenty of extra cardboard protection. They are placed inside separate poly-lined inners outside the cover so as to avoid seam splits in transit and then placed inside a PVC sleeve to provide even more protection. I pride myself on my high quality packaging as my feed confirms and if any customer has any specific requirements I am more than happy to help.
The mailers I use cost £1.00 each and I will use anything between 3-5 cardboard stiffeners which cost approx £0.18 each. There is also the cost of the poly-lined inner and PVC sleeve to consider, it all adds up! Not forgetting that eBay take 10% of the shipping fee also!!
