COMMENTS:

Another very nice ‘Red A’ DEMO copy of this 6th UK single from the evergreen Hollies! DEMO copies are getting so hard to find in nice condition these days and this is a lovely copy, and another one from our own collection. We will be putting other Hollies DEMO’s up for sale in the coming weeks so keep watching our listings. There are just a few very light surface marks on the vinyl and it still retains all its original sheen. Just some light surface wear to the labels and light spindle hole marks. You probably won't see another one this nice for a while. PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO THE EXPECTED HIGH VALUE, THIS WILL ONLY BE POSTED BY RECORDED DELIVERY OR ‘INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR’ IF IT GOES OVERSEAS.

We always try to describe items accurately as our feedback rating shows and we always check condition under strong light. What we describe is what you get and our grading’s are based on those in the Rare Record Price Guide (RRPG). If you want further information before bidding, please let us know and we will provide it. Customer satisfaction is very important. Also, we usually don’t show lots of pictures from every conceivable angle as this takes a long time to do and only gives extra profit to Ebay! If you want more photos before you bid, let us know and we will email you direct, but PLEASE allow enough time (1-2 days) before the auction end.

BEFORE BIDDING, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE AWARE OF THE CONDITIONS BELOW

NON PAYMENT - We welcome all potential buyers, but do not appreciate people who ‘bid’ but then do not pay when auctions have ended, so please do not bid if you are not going to buy. If you do we will report you to Ebay immediately.

PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE AT THE END OF THE AUCTION AS WE WILL GIVE YOU A POSTAL DISCOUNT IF YOU HAVE WON MORE THAN ONE ITEM FROM US.

PLEASE NOTE NEW POSTAL RATES

WITH EFFECT FROM 2ND APRIL 2013, THE UK ROYAL MAIL HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED THEIR POSTAL CHARGES BY MERGING THEIR LOWER WEIGHT BANDS WHICH HAVE UNFORTUNATELY RESULTED IN A INCREASE IN OUR POSTAGE RATES FOR UK 'SIGNED FOR' AND ALL TYPES OF 'OVERSEAS MAIL'

UK - £2.50 for this single (each additional single in same packet 25p)

OVERSEAS POSTAGE - BUYERS PLEASE NOTE

WE SEND PACKETS OVERSEAS BY AIR MAIL ONLY. WE DO NOT POST ANYTHING BY SURFACE MAIL. IT TAKES TOO LONG TO ARRIVE AND TOO OFTEN THE PACKET

GOES MISSING OR GETS LOST IN TRANSIT.

EUROPE (INCLUDING IRELAND) £9.00 for this single (each additional single in same packet 35p)

AMERICA & REST OF THE WORLD - £10.40 for this single (each additional single in same packet 75p).

We always give discounts for multiple items, so if you want to know total postal charges before bidding, please e-mail us and we will do our best to oblige.

RECORDED DELIVERY (UK ONLY) OR 'INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR' MAIL (EUROPE & REST OF THE WORLD) HAS BEEN ADDED AS PAYPAL WILL ONLY INSURE US AGAINST THE ITEM GETTING LOST IF IT CAN BE 'TRACKED' IN THE POST.

IF AN ITEM IS NOT SENT WITH A TRACKING NUMBER, PAYPAL WILL REIMBURSE THE BUYER IF THE BUYER CLAIMS THE ITEM HAS NOT ARRIVED - EVEN IF IT CAN BE PROVED THAT THE ITEM WAS SENT! SO IF YOU LIVE OVERSEAS AND THIS ADDITIONAL COST WILL BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU, WE RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT YOU DO NOT BID ON OUR ITEM.

SORRY, BUT THAT'S THE WAY IT IS - BLAIM PAYPAL'S RULES AND NOT US
