Description
The Hollies – Would You Believe 1966 mono LP Parlophone PMC 7008.
This is a lovely example of the mono LP Would You Believe by The Hollies. It was released on the Parlophone label in 1966 – PMC 7008. Matrix numbers are XEX 603-1 and XEX 604-1. The stampers on both sides sides have the number 1 on the left (nine o'clock position) and the single letter G on the right (three o'clock position) which I think is about as low / early as you can get?! I listed this LP last week with a Near Mint grade. With about an hour to go I was in the process of answering a question from a potential bidder when I noticed one TINY fault. At that late stage it is not possible to revise / add to descriptions in auctions so as nobody had placed a bid yet I thought it best to end the auction and re-list it now. The single fault that I missed when I first graded it is a very small scratch right at the end of the final track on side one - I Am A Rock. When played it sounds as a quiet background 'tick' for the final 3 revolutions and then when the track has ended it sounds as a louder pop in the run-in groove. A bit annoying but very very minor in the great scheme of things as the rest of the playing surfaces on both sides are lovely and I am still happy to grade as EX+ condition. The LP is in what I assume is its correct EMI inner sleeve that advertises other LPs from 1966. The cover has a sticker on the back near the top right corner but is pretty much as new and it grades as EX+.PLEASE NOTE that I will not be able to answer any questions between Saturday 21st to Friday 27th July. However - if you send a question it will be answered on that day - well before the auction ends.
It is impossible to be an expert in all realms of collecting, and I am honestly representing this item to the best of my knowledge and ability. If the item has a fault then I have mentioned it. I ask that you read the description and examine the photos carefully. I also encourage you to ask any questions you may have during the auction to help clarify identification or condition, as I may inadvertently omit information that you as a collector feel is important.
If after you receive the item there is any problem at all please let me know BEFORE leaving feedback or leaving a low Item As Described rating. If you do not let me know of a problem I have no way of knowing what may have been wrong and I really do want to sort it out. My email address is oldvan.ebay@btinternet.com
I am not able to provide scans of paper items and I have no facility to record / copy any records.
Browsing !
Rather than click on the See Other Items link, if you click on either the red Door symbol or the words Oldvan's Shop you will see my auction items and my Buy It Now items split into various categories which will make browsing easier! e.g. 7" single records, LP's, Books, Toys etc etc. You will not have to wade through hundreds of items that you are perhaps not interested in.
CONDITION. The majority of items that I list are between forty and sixty years old. Some are older and some may be a few years younger. I have described the condition of the item in my text but where applicable I have also ticked the 'used' box as even where an item is 'perfect', it is very old and logic says it must have been handled and probably used at some time over the decades!
ALL of my AUCTION ITEMS are now listed with basic / second class postage FREE in the UK.
They are not actually free to post of course! I have to pay to post them but for UK bidders the price you see at the end of the auction is the total price you pay.
DELIVERY TIMES. Although I have ticked the Royal Mail 2nd Class Standard option, please note that this service is reliable and often is unexpectedly fast. For the last couple of years I have actually posted lighter items first class, even though 2nd class has been paid for. Please note that from now on - due to the post office price increases, I will be sending all items 2nd class unless first class has been paid for.
I have also listed other faster options for UK postage (First Class Recorded Delivery + Special Delivery is available) and also various options for overseas buyers that are stated when you click on the P&P Tab.
Worldwide Postage / Shipping.
Upate - May 2012 - the new much-increased Royal Mail Air Mail rates have come into effect. After absorbing the costs for the last two years - this rise is so huge that I am having to increase my prices. Many apologies for this. I really am trying to keep the prices as low as possible.
TRACKING NUMBER. If an item sells for more than £35, (or for a package that has a total value of more than £35) it will need to be sent with a Tracking Number - the Royal Mail's International Signed For service. This costs an additional £5 and that price will be added so that both you - the Buyer - and myself are covered under the buyer protection policy.
PACKAGING. Please note that all of my items are well-packed in thick card or in boxes, and then wrapped in good quality brown paper. I do not make any separate charge for packaging materials - everything is included in the final price. Many of my feedback comments mention my good packaging and I will of course continue to meet my own standards.
Payment
UK WINNERS - I still accept and am very happy to receive cheques and postal orders as payment methods, as well as PayPal.
I will send an invoice to the winner soon after the auction ends. If not using PayPal, when you first email me PLEASE include your postal / shipping details.
OVERSEAS BIDDERS - Payment is to be made in GB Pounds, as the item is listed in pounds. Please use PayPal via the link on the completed auction page. If you do not use PayPal and want to mail payment you MUST contact me before bidding so so we can agree the payment method in advance.
