TRAFFIC - MR FANTASY 1ST PRESS VINYL

	£		133
	$		176

Hi everyone,

my name is Mark and I have been selling vinyl on Ebay for over six years on various accounts, and am returning having had a nine month break, with a vast array of fantastic quality vinyl to follow!!!

Every item I offer is fully guaranteed, and I sell vinyl in price ranges from £3 - 400, with a full money back guarantee available on all items if you are not happy.

Here's my selling standards:-

- You will always get a discount for multiple item transactions, and I do not seek to profit from posting items, as a lot of buyers seem to do nowadays

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING

UK buyers are currently being offered the opportunity of 'free' postage for records - no seller can afford to absorb these costs, and I am no exception. I will comply with Ebay's request, but confirm that the following criteria will apply:-

- Not applicable to Paypal transactions, and only if paying by cheque and or postal order.

- Packaging will be reduced to keep my direct costs down, and one card card stiffener will be used instead of three, with no outer soft ploy bag to house the record

- Delivery will be at least seven days including the handling time due to the nature of second class

MY PREFERRED POSTAL OPTION

UK buyers are offered the chance to pay £3.95 for 1st class recorded delivery - I still loose money at this price, and my direct packaging costs are at least £1.35, but at least I know it will arrive in one piece!! Your record will be expertly packed as per the following:-

- Packaging will include at least three pieces of stiff card per item, records removed from the outer sleeves, and a clear plastic cover for outer protection. All items are posted in new thick card outers, and you will be delighted with the packaging.

OTHER STANDARDS I OFFER

- All items are play graded on high quality equipment, and graded as per record collector grading. (I am very fussy, and tend to under grade' to ensure highly delighted buyers!!).

- Every record will be packed and shipped within a three day period from the point of payment...no exceptions!!

- I will always professionally clean all of my records where necessary using a wet cleaning system to remove all dust and static etc

I am delighted to offer a superb condition album by TRAFFIC:-

Record condition

THIS RECORD IS STILL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION LOOKS UNPLAYED !!! SIMPLY SUPERB VINYL!!

SLEEVE CONDITION

Let me start by saying that this is one of the most fragile sleeves out there - a double cover, with a light outside lamination only on the front and rear, with a pocket to hold the record on the right hand portion of the sleeve (when opened), and a SINGLE panel on the left hand opening! Most get completely trashed, ripped and torn, but not this beauty!!

Front panel - excellent condition, with minimal creasing, and only tiny, tiny spots of lift in the laminate!! The colours are still very strong and true, and just looks fantastic!

Internal panels - at least excellent condition, with minimla wear and age yellowing!!

Back panel - excellent condition, and as per the front only a tiny amount of creasing, ( really minimal and very hard to spot!), and minimal spots' of lifting in the laminate!!

The spine - excellent condition! Beautiful thick spine has ZERO wear points on the corners, with all writing fully readable and in perfect condition!! Only a couple of very, very minor creases, and no damage whatsoever!!

Bottom edge - excellent, with tiny wear points on each corner!

Top edge - excellent+++ condition!!!!

Opening - excellent, with very minor wear!

Inner sleeve - die cut single very fragile paper inner sleeve is in excellent condition, with no splits or tears and minimal creasing!

RECORD CONDITION

Visual grading - simply stunning!! Beautiful medium thickness vinyl on the ultra rare 'ISLAND EYE BALL' label looks super shiny, untouched and unplayed!! I have no hesitation in grading this totally excellent!!!!! There are only minimal amounts of hairlines, and no deep scratches or marks!! It is clear that this record

The labels - as above, unmarked and untouched, with full vibrant colour!! I cannot see any spindle marks whatsoever!!

The playback - one of THE classic sixties albums, and an absolute must have for any collector of classic sixties rock and island label collectors. As per the overall visual decsription of the vinyl, it is clear that this record has had minimal plays, and on my quality system very little background noise is detected. Excellent condition all round....
