Description
Starting to downsize and release some of my eclectic record collection and for auction here is my copy of Pink Fairies "Never Neverland".
This is the original UK 1971 release and a first pressing "Special Edition in Stencilled PVC Outer, containing a Gatefold Card & Picture Inner".
Matrix / Run Out is exactly as depicted on Discogs for this version as:
- Matrix / Runout: 2383045 A//1 1 1 7
- Matrix / Runout: 2383045 B//1 1 1 14
- The Price Code: "Super" is shown on bottom left of the PVC cover.
Please remember before shouting sacrilegious expletives that back in the early 1970's music was shared around, stacked on old record players, taken to parties [and this went to a lot of teenage parties] and often the record player was jogged, LPs taken out of sleeves, piled on each other and generally used like Frisbees [sound familiar??].
So as stated, I am surprised that this has survived the abuse it received without ending up as an ashtray, a clock or in the rubbish bin [many did including my original, first week of release Dark Side of the Moon :( ].
So despite its visuals being bad, the labels are in p[retty good shape still, and no tears or rips or writing on them.
Outer PVC Sleeve: OK this is very poor but still here nearly 50 years later!! There is a tear to the upper edge about 4" long and the bottom edge and left corner are duck tapedwhich has lasted suprisingly well over the years!! The problem was this outer was a very tight fit and trying to put the card inners etc back in was somewhat tricky sober!! A bit of force was oft used but who knew a shiny Mint one would be worth so much back then! Have taken a few pictures of this as it is what defines its release version.
Inner Card Sleeve. This isn't too bad and despite being a bit grubby here and there, no tears I can see just the usual rubbings at the edges and corners. This was at the time mainly down to trying to find the inside of the cover but there isn't one, the inner inner sleeve and vinyl rested inside this sleeve! but many sticky fingers and thumbs tried!! corners and extreme edges have usual wear from placement in record storage and removal etc.
Inner Inner White Sleeve: This has deteriorated on each edge and folds out only hanging together in a few places on the bottom edge!! It has browned badly at the edges. However it is still here and its the original inner sleeve with the Fairies pictured peeking out the bushes and the track listings and other details one would normally find on the back cover of an LP.
Overall then it doesn't sound great but I still think its a salvageable rare piece of vinyl history and with a proper deep clean and possibly repair via a professional vinyl repair machine [if such still exist although I am sure there used to be a machine which took out scratches and cleared up the vinyl brilliantly back in the day!] can grace someone's collection.
Apologies for the length of this listing but have tried to cover the warts and all and starting at just £2.99, I hope this will be of interest to someone [or many :)]. I did "hum and ha" a bit about listing this but as I have another copy on CD [not the same warm sound though IMHO] thought why not! Details as plagiarised from Discogs as follows [just because it saves me typing it all myself!!]:

Please Note: I only clean lightly with a branded vinyl [record] cleaner and an anti static cloth although this one got a really good clean first. New owners will be best to use their favoured product(s) to clean. As this is quite old, it will benefit from a more deep clean to remove any deep down dust trapped in the grooves.
Will be posted out 1st class signed for via Royal Mail ~ packaged using a bespoke Vinyl cardboard envelope with cardboard stiffener.
Where possible [size / weight etc] I always offer combined shipping. Please let me know if you require this.
Home collection is always offered to save post & packing costs.
International bidding is OK but ONLY via the e-Bay GSP. I know this is very expensive for some but safeguards buyers and sellers alike. The shipping fees are clearly displayed on the listing if you are not looking via e-Bay UK. I can not by-pass or over-ride these costs so please do not ask. GSP also does not allow any combined postage for multiple purchases so again, please don,t ask as I can not over ride this either.
No returns on this item thanks - unless seriously not as described.
No scammers please ~ it will be posted tracked & proof of delivery received!!
Listed with no reserve and no buy it now set!!
Past & current values can usually be worked out via e-Bay sales history &/or Discogs Statistics!!
Sold as described and photographed.
Any questions, please feel free to ask and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
Please note: I am NOT a dealer, but a private seller who is just downsizing from 45+ years of collecting stuff and having retired last year I'm selling on items we no longer have space to store and to raise much needed "retirement" funds.
Most of my items deserve to have a new owner & a home where they can continue to be looked after, enjoyed and saved for future generations.
Please check out my other eclectic items we are parting with - something may tickle your fancy :).
Thanks for looking and reading all the above [if you did :)] ~ happy e-Baying and good luck if bidding :).
