Please read the Terms and Conditions lower in the listing about payment, postage costs and insurance BEFORE placing a bid. Thank you.


I am happy to answer any questions, but please read the listing carefully before sending a question or placing a bid. I try to provide comprehensive details and information in every listing so the answers to most questions should be found below.


******************************************


This is a rare 1970 white label promo release of Fun House by the Stooges. It is the original US pressing on the Elektra label and the white labels clearly state "Radio Station Copy".

Detailed description
Vinyl: The record is totally flat and the spindle marking suggests that the record hasn't been played much, although there are marks and hairlines visible on the vinyl and some bigger scratches on side two. I have played the entire record and it plays well. There are a few random clicks and pops and some surface noise which can be heard in the quiet parts and in particular in the run-ins/outs, fades/intros and silent grooves. There are some repetitive clicks, which are not too bad on side one but are more noticeable on side two. However, the music is always more prominent than anything else and the whole record plays through with absolutely no jumps, skips or sticking and can be listened to and enjoyed all the way through.
Labels: See photos. Both labels look great with absolutely no signs of damage, writing, stickers etc and just light spindle marking.
Sleeve: The original heavy, pasted gatefold sleeve is showing various signs of age although it could be significantly improved with a little TLC. It is the original pasted US style sleeve and has fully split along the top and bottom rear seams. Fortunately no attempt has been made to remedy this and so there are no unsightly sticky tape or glue remains. I believe that these seams could be satisfactorily repaired if desired. There is a two inch split inside the gatefold where the vinyl has pierced the sleeve, but this is not particularly noticeable and is on the INSIDE only. There is ring wear mainly to the rear, and wear to the corners and edges. The spine is still square and solid and the print is still mostly intact except for at the top and bottom of the spine. On the front of the sleeve is a copy of an Elektra promotional sticker, but this isn't original.
Inner sleeve: Plain
Other inserts: n/a

Detracting features not covered above - none.

I have 100% positive feedback because my records are always described accurately and fairly. All photographs are of the actual item you will get. I will always do my best to point out any blemishes which might detract from the item.


Please check out my other items and take advantage of reduced postage costs for multiple buys.

 
Unless stated otherwise, vinyl is visually graded. I play grade records where possible but there just aren't enough hours in the day to play them all, so I usually restrict play grades to collectors' items and rare records which are particularly hard to find in top audio condition or other records where a visual inspection has identified flaws on the playing surface. A visual grading will identify physical flaws (such as scratches) and will determine whether a record has been cared-for properly, but it will not detect static or crackle caused by dust in the grooves or other invisible sources. A visual grading will provide an indication of how a record might play, but it is not a guarantee of the record's sound quality, even if it looks perfect.


First pressings and originals: Many of the records I sell are first pressings and, if this is the case, I will usually identify them as such and may include the relevant matrix information etc in the description. However, sometimes I cannot be certain whether a record is a first pressing or not. In these instances I will often use the word 'original' to identify a pressing which I think might be a first pressing, but do not know for sure (but which is certainly NOT a recent pressing or audiophile release etc). If you specifically want a first pressing, and know how to identify it, please ask the relevant questions before you bid.


Feel free to ask any questions about the item (but please don’t leave it to the last minute as I may not get a chance to reply).

I believe that Ebay should be fun, simple and fair for all buyers and sellers and so have some very simple terms and conditions. Please read them before bidding. Thank you.

  • Do not bid if you don't intend to pay.

******************************************


POSTAGE & PACKING


I care about the records I sell and believe that they need to be carefully and securely packaged to ensure that they survive their journey through the post. Vinyl is removed from the sleeve for posting and the contents will be protected with rigid cardboard stiffeners. All packages are labelled "Do not bend" and securely sealed with "FRAGILE" parcel tape.


I support the use of recycled materials and so some or all of the packaging you receive your records in may have been previously used or be made from old cardboard boxes. If you wish your item to be sent in entirely new packaging please let me know before paying for it. Thanks.


******************************************


UK P&P costs


UK Standard service - items are sent quickly and securely using first class recorded post, which includes insurance up to £39. The cost for this is as follows:


First LP or 12" = £3.80, each additional LP or 12" add £0.80

First 7" or CD = £1.90, each additional 7" or CD add £0.50

UK Economy service - If the value of your order is below £39 you can choose to have your item sent by standard second class post (unrecorded). However, please be aware that this service can take up to a week to reach you and in the event of a claim for loss or damage, Royal Mail will not reimburse the full value of your order. The cost for this is as follows:


First LP or 12" = £3.00, each additional LP or 12" add £0.70

First 7" or CD = £1.10, each additional 7" or CD add £0.45

UK Fully insured service - Any order valued over £39 will be sent fully insured using Royal Mail Special Delivery and the total cost of this will be £7.50.  Multiple-item orders weighing more than 1kg or items valued over £500 will cost slightly more to insure, so please wait for my invoice before paying.

For overseas orders, I include insurance on all invoices. This is additional to the costs above.

Overseas orders valued over £39 will ONLY be sent fully insured.
