Description

Here we have the first UK Stereo LP pressing of Peter Hammill's Fool's Mate on the Famous Charisma Label - Pink scroll. 
The vinyl LP itself is in excellent condition with only minor hairline marks on one or two places. The E J Day Gatefold LP cover is a textured cover and is in very good condition with minor shelf wear on top and bottom edges/corners and has evidence on top right hand corner of a sticker. This could possibly be cleaned up with a little care as seems to be just gum residue (not teared). I would have graded the majority of the cover as Ex+ but have reduced it down to VGC+ due to the sticker evidence.
Original Inner Sleeve - Included 

Labels - 

A Side Matrix- CAS 1037 A-2U 

B Side Matrix-CAS 1037 B-1U 

Overall a very nice copy of this very very rare LP.
Listed here with NO RESERVE for a starting price of only £19.99.

I try to grade all records visually, cover first, then disc; using the abbreviations M / NM / EX / VG with + and -. I try to describe everything as accurately as possible, and spot check any vinyl flaw that looks like it might make a sound. I regularly receive praise for my grading, but as all grading is subjective. All items are from my own personal collection - moist purchased from new.

Unlike some eBay sellers, I don't feel the need to hype records by including long reviews or albums, quoting lyrics, making up arcane variations. i just grade as accurately as I can.

My vinyl collection has been played on a Linn turntable, with Linn stylus and through quality amplification and speakers. I have always kept my vinyl in protective inner sleeves (as opposed to original cardboard sleeves which can cause scratches) but will include all original inner sleeves (as I always kept them).

I have spent almost 40 years buying collectible items (mainly music and film  but also books, china and other collectibles) and as a collector I have always taken great pride in looking after these items, so please be assured that my grading of all items listed is accurate and fair and can be trusted.

FROM SMOKE FREE HOME.

Will accept cash upon personal collection, Paypal, cheque (after clearing) and bank transfer. Will also post out to overseas but please check before bidding as to cost of postage to your chosen country.

 

I offer a guarantee of fair postage as can't abide 'rip off' merchants charging the earth on postage. All I charge for is the quality packaging I use to keep the item safe, and the Post Office's (or courier's) standard fees for delivering small/medium or large packages. Due to extreme rareness of this LP it will be well packaged and can be sent to buyer in whatever way they prefer (recorded/signed for/fully insured - just let me know).

Please note that I live in a small rural village and try to make two trips to the post office/courier depot a week. On the odd occasion I can't get the item out within the 3 working day deadline I set myself, I will contact you to make you aware of any delays. Please contact me if you need any winning item quicker than the 3 working day dispatch timescale (eg birthday present, etc...) and I will try to help where I can.

Will combine item with other winning bids.

Thank you for looking and good luck!
