Description
PLEASE READ THE POSTAGE DETAILS BEFORE BIDDING.
With Christmas just around the corner, this is an ideal opportunity to get the person who doesn't need anything something rare and unusual.
Unpacking boxes after moving house and came across a box of LPs! I never bothered to replace my record player when it died a few years ago so why I have hung onto these I don't know - that is the trouble with storage units!
This is TOP OF THE POPS 342 with an expiry date of May 1972 and was released, presumably, in the US on the BBC TS label. There is nothing fancy about the packaging - a plain yellow sleeve. These discs are like rocking horse droppings, rare, and to find them in the condition that this is - played only once or twice - is even rarer. Sadly the cue sheets are missing, but I do have notes of what is on the disc from listening to it years ago:
Side 1 1 Free - My Brother Jake 2 New World - Delia 3 East of Eden - To Mrs V 4 Ashton, Gardiner & Dyke (with interview) - It's Gonna Be High Tonight 5 Peter Noone - Together Forever 6 Free - Ride on Pony
Side 2 1 Ashton, Gardiner & Dyke - Can You Get It 2 New World - Tom Tom Turn Around 3 East of Eden - Wonderful Feeling 4 Ashton, Gardiner & Dyke - I'm Dying For You 5 New World - Summer In My Eye 6 Peter Noone - Oh You Pretty Thing 7 Programme Trailer
To ensure they get to the winner safe and sound I will be packing them in card mailers with stiffeners in and sending by recorded or special delivery. This isn't the cheapest method, but assuming you bid because you wanted the disc, this is the nearest I can do to guarantee you get it in pristine condition. I will happily send overseas and charge postage at cost, but will use a tracked method such as International Signed For.
PAYMENT IS EXPECTED WITHIN 4 DAYS OF THE AUCTION END. I have the builders coming for major work a week after the auction closes, and will have restricted access to practically everything while bits are knocked about. If payment isn't received before that, the item won't be shipped for a fortnight after (if I can believe the builders when they say they will have finished the main stuff!)
POSTAGE:
UK: The price listed (as ebay cap it) is for items selling under £46 only.
If the item sells for less than £46, it will be covered in the UK using Recorded Delivery and is sort of tracked. If lost then the loss will be limited to £46. I recommend insurance to cover the total it sells for and Special Delivery is available and flexible, for additional cost (£7 covers the mailer, stiffeners and insurance up to £500, and is next day, so you get your hands on the item quicker!).
OVERSEAS: This will vary by country and can range from £10 - £20 depending on where you are and what service is available. Insurance also varies, so please check with me beforehand. - I have given and indication in the listing but, like investments, can go up or down :)
Payment is expected within 4 working days of the close of the auction - this means it doesn't hang about like a bad smell and I can get the disc off to you within the 3 working days I promise to. If this is going to be a problem (a holiday etc.) then please let me know before you bid so I can make a note.
