Description
WOW ! THIS IS NOT ONLY A SUPERB COPY OF A GENUINE MUCH RARER UK QUADRAPHONIC FIRST PRESSING WITH EARLIEST POSS A2 B1 MATRICIES WITH A MUCH DIFFERENT ( AND MANY SAY SUPERIOR ) MIX TO THE NORMAL STEREO ISSUE BUT ALSO FULLY COMPLETE WITH BOTH POSTERS, CRACK BACK STICKERS AND THE QUAD INNER
RELEASED SEVEN MONTHS AFTER THE STEREO IN DECEMBER 1973 APART FROM THE MIX THESE QUADS DIFFER IN SEVERAL WAYS TO THE STEREO, AS WELL AS THE OBVIOUS QUAD MARKINGS ON THE SLEEVES AND LABELS THESE ALSO OMIT ANY REFERENCE TO THE " GRAMOPHONE COMPANY " AS EMI RECORDS STOP USING THIS REFERENCE TOWARDS THE END OF 1973 SO THE LOGO LAYOUT ON THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD IS DIFFERENT TO THE STEREO ( WHICH WAS NEVER UPDATED ) AND FIRST PRESSING QUADS ALSO SHOW " EMI RECORDS " ON THE RIMS WHICH ONLY APPEARS ON THE THIRD PRESSINGS OF THE STEREO'S.
HOWEVER LIKE THE FIRST 3 PRESSINGS OF THE STEREO'S EARLY QUADS ALSO SHOW THE WORLD COPYRIGHT TEXT ON THE LABELS WHICH IS REMOVED FROM LATER ISSUES. SOME EARLY COPIES ALSO HAD GENERIC EMI QUAD INNERS WHICH WERE A LEFTOVER FROM THE EARLIEST EMI SQ QUAD LP'S FROM 1972, THEY BASICALLY SEEM TO HAVE USED THEM UP FOR THE EARLY ISSUES OF DARK SIDE AND WERE SOON REPLACED BY PLAIN WHITE AND LATER STILL THE MID/LATE 70'S EMI INNERS
SO NOT ONLY IS THIS A GENUINE FIRST ISSUE FULLY COMPLETE MEGA RARE QUADRAPHONIC ISSUE BUT IS ALSO A TOP TOP COPY IN SUPERB CONDISITION AND WOULD BE HARD TO FIND A BETTER ONE
L@@K...
GOOD LUCK TO ALL BIDDERS !!

FOR BIDDERS OUTSIDE UK THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT... non uk bidders please read my notes about international postage below.....returns policy only applies to UK outside of UK buyer has to cover the return postage! FOR INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT due to ebays revised " buyer " protection policy even more sellers will start to refuse to sell internationally. I however will still sell internationally but i reserve the right to not to complete any international transaction if the buyer has any bad or witheld feedback or for any other reason that I choose and this is especially so for items that sell for near to GBP 150 or higher. So if you are an international bidder and win one of my auctions and then find I have completed the transaction elsewhere this will be because the new ebay/paypal policy now makes it almost impossible for sellers to sell safely overseas, thank you
FOR BIDDERS WITH ZERO FEEDBACK THIS IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT... I have recently been the victim of serveral spurious bids from several different members (usually based in the Russian Federation). Please note that if you win any of my items and have zero feedback I will ask you for immediate payment or for you to email and immediately confirm that you were a genuine bidder. Failiure to meet either of those critiera will result in the item being offered to the next highest bidder without further delay. thank you.
DOMESTIC UK DISPATCH WILL BE VIA RECORDED/SIGNED FOR DELIVERY TO PREVENT FRAUDULANT CLAIMS OF NON RECEIPT ! INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE SEE MY NOTES BELOW
(Please note that whilst I try to endeavour to adhere to strict RC gradings I will never describe ANYTHING AS MINT even when I think it to be so. As far as I am concerned any secondhand item by definition cannot be mint. However if I believe an item to be Mint I will instead either use the terms Near Mint, mint minus, or in archive or vault condition. When I use these terms you know that in my opinion this is in effect a de-facto Mint grade )
INSURANCE INCLUDED IN P&P PRICE DEPENDING ON FINAL SALE VALUE...
Dont forget to take a look at my other items. Please feel free to contact me with any queries you may have.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I ONLY DO A COUPLE OF RUNS A WEEK TO THE POST OFFICE BUT MY ITEMS ARE ALWAYS DISPATCHED WELL WITHIN ONE CALENDAR WEEK OF PAYMENT BEING RECEIVED. I APOLOGISE IN ADVANCE TO THOSE BUYERS WHO SEEM TO EXPECT THEIR ITEM TO ARRIVE THE NEXT DAY, IF YOU WANT TO CHECK WHEN AN ITEM WAS SENT JUST PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AND I WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO TELL YOU!! (SOME PEOPLE DO MAKE YOU LAUGH, FOR ITEMS I BUY I ONLY NORMALLY GET CONCERNED AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND EVEN AFTER THAT THEN ONLY POLIETELY ENQUIRE IF AND WHEN THE ITEM WAS SENT).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PAYMENTS BY PAYPAL ARE PREFERRED BUT I ALSO ACCEPT OTHER METHODS. I ALSO POST WORLDWIDE (PLS APPLY FOR RATES) BUT DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH A DISREPUTABLE BUYER IN JAPAN (EBAY WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO NAME THEM) , FOR ALL PAYMENTS MADE VIA PAYPAL THE ITEM WILL ONLY BE SENT BOTH TO THE UK AND WORLDWIDE BY RECORDED OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR DELIVERY. THIS IS TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY ATTEMPT TO CLAIM BACK THE PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL EVEN AFTER ACTUALLY HAVING RECEIVED THE ITEM.
THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS HAD THE RESULT OF INCREASING MY COSTS FOR POSTING AND PACKING AND I AM VERY SORRY FOR THIS BUT PAYPAL OFFER NO PROTECTION FOR SELLERS UNLESS THERE IS PROOF OF DELIVERY!! PROOF OF POSTING WOULD SEEM INSUFFICIENT TO THEM AND I HAVE FOUND THIS OUT THE HARD WAY..
DUE TO THE BEHAVIOUR OF THIS SAME BUYER PAYPAL PAYMENTS WILL ALSO NOT BE ACCEPTED FROM BUYERS WHO DO NOT ALLOW THEIR FEEDBACK TO BE READ,
COST VIA INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR MAIL HAS RECENTLY BEEN INCREASED BY THE UK POST OFFICE SO TO EUROPE FOR A SINGLE LP IS NOW USUALLY GBP 9.99 AND TO THE USA/REST OF THE WORLD GBP 13.99 FOR A SINGLE LP AND 16.99 FOR A DOUBLE BASED ON A "DECLARED" VALUE OF UNDER GBP 50... ANY ADDITIONAL LP'S SENT VIA COMBINED POSTAGE WILL USALLY BE AROUND AN ADDITION G 2.00 PER LP
