Rainbow (Deep Purple). Down to Earth, UK 1st issue clear vinyl album.

Polydor . Cat No: POLD 5023

My first personal copy purchased when released, played probably ½ doz. times at most.

Sleeve:

Single laminated. Nice sharp corners  with very lightest of dings. Still has its outer shrink wrap and hype sticker.

Double sided printed record bag.

Also, two original inserts. The black and white Rainbow albums sheet has very light blu tack residue on rear in corners from where it temporarily was affixed to my bedroom wall, no greasy deposit bleed through.

Some light spotting/foxing along the top of the merch sheet insert.

Also includes contemporary album review cutting from Sounds music paper, not sure I’d agree with Geoff Barton’s 3 star review, more like a solid 4 + star IMHO, with some absolute classics buried in there.…but hey ho!

Disc: Always difficult to accurately assess clear vinyl pressings. All looks good, nice bright, clear and shiny with no obvious visual issues. A couple of very feint spidery spindle lines.

Selling on behalf of my Dad (who supplied all the info) from his personal collection.

I aim to use recycled packaging when appropriate.

However, all vinyl is despatched using top quality Defendapack QP2 Quick Pack Multi Music Max mailers with additional stiffening inserts. So You can rest assured that your vinyl will be well packed and protected against the trials of postal travel!

Any questions or if you need more photos please ask.

If you have any  issues please contact me before leaving feedback as my intention is to give you the e-bay buying experience that I myself would want, i.e. customer satisfaction all round.

Please check my feedback to re-assure yourself regarding both quality of packaging and accuracy of descriptions. Thank you.

Following a couple of recent poor experiences by less than scrupulous buyers, whilst we remain happy to accept returns when the item is not as described, we must insist that buyer pays return, tracked, postage and uses the original packaging, for both of our piece of minds.

A note about international shipping - we are very happy to send worldwide. Your parcel will be sent tracked, so you can keep an eye on it. 

If you are a non UK bidder, in the EU (and the rest of the world), please be aware that following 'Brexit', your package may be liable for import duties. These are your responsibilities and will be collected by the courier.

NB For your info.

From 1st January 2021, with the UK no longer part of the European Union, our sales to customers in EU countries will be treated as exports. For EU customers, the price you see on the does now not include VAT.

Orders from EU countries

You will be liable for import VAT at the time of delivery via the postal/courier service in your country. The amount of the VAT payable will depend on how the items are classed for VAT in your country. 

The exact implementation of this is likely to vary across different postal services, and there may be some grace period for orders from the UK over the initial weeks and months in some countries, especially for items in transit on 1st January 2021.

Didn't the UK and EU sign a free-trade deal?

Yes, but the UK-EU Free Trade deal agreed on December 24th 2020 means that duties will not be payable on the vast majority of goods moving between the UK and EU. However, duties and VAT are different things, and this does not impact on the VAT measures detailed above.

UPDATE:

Due to the current situation in Ukraine, we are unfortunately unable to post to, or accept bids from Russia.

Peace and Love is the only answer.
