IF BIDDING FROM OUTSIDE THE UK THEN PLEASE NOTE THAT I USE EBAY'S GSP FOR POSTING. THESE COSTS CAN BE HIGH. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO PAY THESE PRICES THEN PLEASE DO NOT BID. However I am willing to listen to requests to post outside of Ebay through signed-for and tracked. I would recommend using Ebay though as they cover taxes, customs lost items etc. Europe postings will cost £15 for a single item if I send them.
Unfortunately I need to cash in on some of my record collection to help fund my retirement so..........................
For auction here is a copy of the Spooky Tooth LP 'It's All About' first released in the UK on the Island label ILPS 9080 in 1968. This is an original first pressing. It conforms to the Rare Record Price Guide as described below. It's an OK filler until a mint one comes along. The music is great for this underrated 60's group and it features the tracks 'Love Really Changed Me' and 'Sunshine Help Me' amongst others.
Matrix WRITTEN runouts are:-
ILP-ST-SC-A ILP-ST-(crossing-out)-B
The DOUBLE LAMINATED cover is VG, it has edge and corner wear and some laminate creases. Someone has written 12/- on the back cover, however it does have no stickers and no tears.
The inner sleeve is VG. Not sure if it's supposed to have a pink Island inner sleeve or not but this is plain white.
The vinyl is VG-, there are some marks on the surface but it should play ok. There is background surface noise, just look on it as atmospheric vinyl how it used to sound :-) . It plays all the way through ok on my Technics deck.
The labels are Excellent being free of writing or stickers. The spindle holes look fairly solid with some white coming through. It's hard to tell if there are spindle marks.
Please bid with confidence as I have a 100% positive feedback rating.
I am willing to post multiple items abroad which will be tracked and signed-for. Payments for this method go direct through Paypal as Ebay's GSP does not cater for multiple item sales unfortunately.
I try to adhere as closely as possible to the Record Collector Magazine grading system which is shown below as a guide. I do ad + and - to gradings for intermediate conditions. Any record described as 'Mint' will mean 'Unplayed'.
RECORD COLLECTORS GRADING SYSTEM
Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable Good (G) Te record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc Fair (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. Poor (P) The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing Bad (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-fillerprice rating
