A  KIND NOTE FOR UK BIDDERS. I WILL SOON BE LOSING MY TOP SELLER STATUS THANKS TO THREE BUYERS IN 12 MONTHS WHO FOR SOME INEXPLICABLE REASON GAVE ME LESS THAN 3 STARS FOR POSTAGE AND PACKING. I SEND MANY ITEMS OUT FOR FREE AND OTHERS AT COST BUT BECAUSE I HAVE TO SEND SIGNED FOR MAIL TO PROTECT MYSELF AGAINST FRAUDSTERS SOME MAY FEEL THIS COST EXCESSIVE. 

I WOULD THEREFORE ASK ANYBODY WHO MISTAKENLY FEELS THIS WAY TO FIRST CHECK THEIR PARCEL AND SEE THE EXACT COST OF THE PACKAGE PRIOR TO LEAVING ANY FEEDBACK. SHOULD THEY THEN STILL FEEL I HAVE OVERCHARGED THEM PLEASE CONTACT ME AND I WILL REFUND THEM IMMEDIATELY . FOR GENERAL INFO WHEN THE COST OF PACKAGING IS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT OVERALL I LOSE MONEY ON THE POST AND PACKING AS I AM SURE MANY OTHER SELLERS DO ALSO. THANK YOU

  NOT ONLY A MUCH RARER STEREO BLUE BLACK FIRST PRESSING BUT ALSO WITH THE INCREDIBLY RARE TNR FONT LABEL FOR SIDE TWO WITH SANS SERIF ON SIDE ONE MAKING THIS AN EVEN RARER CROSS OVER COPY L@@K

THE TNR FONT IS INCREDIBLY RARE FOR THIS LP, THIS IS ONLY THE SECOND I HAVE PERSONALLY SEEN AND THIS IS CERTAINLY THE FIRST CROSS OVER LABELED COPY I HAVE SEEN OR HEARD ABOUT. AN EARLY COPY TWO WITH 1P MOTHER/STAMPER FOR SIDE TWO MAKING THAT SIDE ONE OF ONLY A FEW HUNDRED PRESSED FROM ONLY THE FIFTH EVER STEREO LAQUER MADE FOR THAT SIDE !!

AS I HAVE SAID ORIGINAL STEREO'S ARE FAR RARE THAN MONO, EVEN AS LATE AS 1967 STEREO'S WERE OUTPRESSED BY MONO'S BY MANY 10'S TO ONE AS MOST POP BUYERS ONLY HAD MONO DANSETTES RATHER THAN THE STEREOGRAMS OF SOME OF THEIR PARENTS AND BOUGHT ACCORDINGLY.

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. 

FOR  DOMESTIC UK BIDDERS PLEASE NOTE THAT ITEMS THAT SELL WILL HAVE TO BE SENT VIA SIGNED FOR RECORDED DELIVERY WHICH IS GBP 3.99 FOR A SINGLE LP AND GBP 4.99 FOR A DOUBLE LP, THIS IS TO PREVENT FRAUDULENT 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 TO EUROPE FOR A SINGLE LP IS USUALLY GBP 8.99 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...
