Description

THE STATUS QUO BLACK VEILS OF MELANCHOLY / TO BE FREE
 UK PRESSING  THE VINYL IS IN GOOD CONDITION. To be honest the grading of the vinyl is not the important issue with this item. I have personally owned this item since 1972. I was given it by a local DJ who said he was sent it by PYE records in 1968 and that it was a QUO record that he didn't play anymore. It is a label mispress with the 2 BLUE PYE label variants. It has the BLACK STRIP design on the A-side and the NON STRIP variant on the B-side. I do also have a BLUE PYE COPY with labels like this, BUT, this one has been printed on yellow labels which were used for the DEMO / PROMO copies at the time. I have never seen another copy like this, so it is incredibly rare and is one for the completists. A truly one-off.
All the pictures in my listings are of the actual item you will receive. I DO NOT USE STOCK COPIES. The item you see in the pictures provided are of the item you will receive.
IMPORTANT POSTAGE DISCOUNT. I only charge postage for 1 item per order. You can order as many as you like, and as long as they are all part of one order you will only pay one lot of postage. Due to severe problems with false claims of missing parcels I will now only sell within the UK and send everything by ROYAL MAIL RECORDED DELIVERY. That way we both have a tracking number and your order is fully insured. Sadly there are also a number of scammers out there who buy an expensive record in EXCELLENT CONDITION and when they receive it they go and buy a lesser condition copy and claim against the seller that the item is not as described. THIS ACTION WILL NOT BE TOLLERATED and I will take legal action against anyone who tries this. Obviously any claims against genuine mistakes will be dealt with swiftly and politely. 
I am able to post items on a Tuesday and a Friday.
