SMALL FACES " AUTUMN STONE "SUPER UK 69 1ST 1G 1A 1A 1A

	£		41
	$		54

 THIS IS NOT JUSTA Super EXAMPLE OF A RARE 1969 UK 1ST PRESSING ON THE PINK IMMEDIATE LABEL WITH BOTH LOVELY LOOKING SLEEVE AND VINYL BUT ALSO WITH IN CREDIBLY EARLY EMI PRESSED MOTHER/STAMPERS OF 1A 1A 1G 1A MEANING THAT THIS LP WAS ONE OF ONE AROUND 300 PRESSED FROM THE VERY FIRST AND THIRD LAQUERS THAT WERE PRODUCED

ALSO ONE OF THE RAREST OF ALL THE SMALL FACES LPS WHICH HARDLY EVER TURNS UP FOR SALE IN DECENT CONDITION, THIS WAS THE SMALL FACES SWANSONG AND IS A COMBINATION OF RETROSPECTIVE LP TOGETHER WITH SOME MORE RECENT SINGLES AND UNRELEASED TRACKS AND SOLD FAIRLY POORLY AT THE TIME, FAR MORE COMMON ARE THE EUROPEAN PRESSINGS, UK COPIES ARE VERY SCARCE INDEED

A REALLY SUPER EXAMPLE   GOOD LUCK TO ALL BIDDERS!!!

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. 

ALL MY RECORDS ARE USUALLY SOLD ON VISUAL GRADINGS ONLY, THEREFORE, WITH THE SINGULAR EXCEPT ION OF THOSE RARE OCCASSIONS WHERE I DO STATE THEY HAVE BEEN PLAY GRADED, AS ALL DISCS ARE 2ND HAND ANY PLAYING DEFECTS ARE THEREFORE CAVIAT EMPTOR AND SO NON REFUNDABLE. I ONLY REFUND  WHERE AN ACTUAL GRADING OF MINE IS DISPUTED

FOR ALL ITEMS DOMESTIC DISPATCH COSTS IN THE UK WILL BE VIA RECORDED/SIGNED FOR DELIVERY TO PREVENT FRAUDULANT CLAIMS OF NON RECEIPT AND  IS GBP 3.99 FOR A SINGLE LP  4.99 for a double, IF ANY BODY HAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS THEN PLEASE FEEL FREE NOT TO BID. 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 )

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 (PIGGIESSS - I AM HAPPY 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 READ, SO IF YOU FALL INTO THIS CATEGORY PLEASE DO NOT BID ON MY ITEMS UNLESS YOU CAN PAY BY ANOTHER METHOD…….international signed for mail costs for Europe HAS RECENTLY INCREASED AND is NOW usually GBP 9.99 for one disc. For USA/rest of the world it is usually GBP 13.99 for one disc and 16.99 for two discs, see above for international returns policy...FOR EACH EXTRA LP COMBINED POSTAGE WILL BE G 2.00 PER EACH ADDITIONAL DISC
