General: Late 1969 pressing in superb clean condition complete with original flipback sleeve and matching inner sleeve. This Black/Silver label type is the 5th issue, not the 4th as I've seen recorded elsewhere and immediately preceded the EMI Records rim text type used in the 1970's. Although the sleeve is the correct original stereo one for this issue it has the 'This mono record...' misprint text which was standard on all these stereo sleeves.
Grading (vinyl): EX+
(a few very light non-sounding hairlines, a non-sounding surface scuff on tracks 1 and 2 of side 1, plays faultlessly)
Grading (label): EX+
(one or two very light spindle marks)
Grading (sleeve): EX+
(very light creasing and ring wear, very slight discoloration to back edges)
Grading (inner sleeve): EX+
(very light creasing)
Summary: Excellent condition early pressing.

The above rates include a small handling fee. This covers the cost of materials, the time to package the item(s) securely, and transport to the Post Office. All items are carefully inspected and professionally cleaned on a Keith Monks Record Cleaning machine (as used by the BBC) prior to despatch. Records are shipped in heavy duty industry standard record mailers with additional protection to ensure that they reach you in exactly the condition they were despatched. Records are removed from both outer sleeve and inner sleeve and placed in a shipping inner and outer sleeve to prevent seam splits in transit. In the unlikely event that you're not completely satisfied with any item simply return it within seven days of receipt in its original condition and packaging for a full no-quibble refund (you must pay the return postage cost).
The photos are of the actual item(s) for sale. All flaws, if any, are fully described above and gradings are strictly as per the RC Price Guide (+ and - are used to highlight strengths and weaknesses). I do not sell records that either jump or are warped.
Payment terms: In order to minimise the risk of fraud, PayPal will ONLY be accepted as a payment method for sales which have an aggregate value of £150.00 or less. This means that if your total invoice value (excluding postage and packing), whether it is for one item or more than one item, exceeds £150.00 payment by PayPal will NOT be accepted and any PayPal payment will be treated as non-payment and refunded. Payment of such invoices may be made in cash (Pounds sterling, US Dollars or Euros only), by a cheque drawn on a UK bank, or preferably by bank transfer (IBAN, Swift details available to the winning bidder on request). These terms override any other payment options shown elsewhere on this page. By placing a bid for this item you accept that you understand and agree to these terms.
I am always interested in buying high quality collections of LPs. If you have a collection to sell please use the 'Ask seller a question' link to send brief details (quantity, type of music with a few examples, and a contact email address) first.
