	£		95
	$		126

Selling-up my extensive record collection. Lots of interesting records in the collection - do have a look at my other items, and there are new listings every week. I may have obscure things that you didn't even know you wanted!
I bought this recently, when someone put a box of records in front of me (knowing my weakness..). Being unused to oriental records, I just bought it out of idle interest, and because of the nice flower picture on the front. Researching it when I got home, I found e-bay item 172301875336 - which is a mint unopened copy of it, offered for £386. This price may be optimistic, I wonder how many weeks or months it's been up for sale... I notice that his copy is EMI Malaysia, whereas mine is Hong Kong - backs of covers are different. My record says made in India on labels, so pressed there and packaged-up in Hong Kong.
Pictures are my own photos of the items for sale. Photos are part of the description, have a good look. 
Cover - this has been kept in a proper 10" poly sleeve, for many years, keeping it nice. Back has a sticker from the original record-shop in Hong Kong or China. Two more of these, one on the inner sleeve and one on the record label.  Original poly-lined inner sleeve, plus a booklet of - presumably - lyrics and details, mostly in Chinese script - matches the record as it has the catalogue number on the front - a mark on the cover, as you can see in my picture - probably from yet another sticker, now gone.
Record - I have cleaned this carefully, which revealed quite a lot of scratches and marks, on both sides. I have done a play-test, on the whole thing. It is generally crackly, with some clear spells - I was reminded of listening to old 78s, on some tracks. It did not jump or stick (on my expensive record deck). Record still has nice original sound, not worn-out or beaten-to-death - but it's original sound plus crackles!

I would be happy to sell this to a buyer in China or Hong Kong, but postage to the other side of the world might be expensive. See below for details on how item would be sent.
 When I'm checking for damage on records, I look at them carefully with my reading glasses on, in good daylight. This method detects any bits of damage that will affect what you hear when listening to it - and lots that are not audible. Using a spotlight or direct sunlight shows more surfacey marks sometimes, but I don't do that - records are for listening to, not trying to see your face in.
Postage at cost within UK - £3.00 plus 50p for a proper record mailer with two stiffener sheets of cardboard (or whatever's appropriate). Happy to do combined postage wherever practical. I'll charge you what it costs me - so anything up to six (or so) LPs would still be the same charge, £3.50. I'm happy to send this overseas. See below for details, if bidding from outside UK - YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS STUFF.
Dispatch will usually be "next day".
Collection in person is welcome.
I don't mail things personally, to countries outside the UK - ( I mean it, don't ask) - but I am happy to use E-Bay UK's Global Shipping Program, for sending things abroad. Under this scheme, I send the parcel to an e-bay depot in UK, and they forward it to the overseas buyer.
They have a tracked courier service, for the journey from their UK depot, to the buyer.
This means that I can ONLY accept payments through e-bay (Pay Now button), and I can't send invoices. 
E-Bay UK tells me, they do NOT do combined postage in the Global Shipping Programme. Charges to the customer for delivery and customs charges are whatever you're told they are - if you don't want to pay the postal / courier charges individually for the items, then do not bid. HOWEVER, if you win several items, and pay for them all in the same payment, their system may well spot this and do combined postage. If this happens, pay what you're told, and I will refund the excess postage paid to me - if you buy three LPs, I would be getting three lots of £3.50, but I can send all in one parcel, so I only need one lot of £3.50, usually. The exception is, if the items you buy weigh more than 2 kilos altogether, I need to make two parcels - there is a special cheap postage rate in UK, for parcels under 2 kilos. 
Overseas customers - please DON'T request an invoice - I can't make one, and it screws-up the e-bay system.
International buyers should be able to see a postage cost to their country, you may have to input your location, if your country is included in the scheme.
If your country is not mentioned, please do not bid.
International postage to the following countries will be shown (this is the latest list that I've seen - lotta countries!)
Australia Austria Belgium Bulgaria Canada China Croatia Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark Finland France Germany Greece Hungary Ireland Israel Italy Japan Lithuania Luxembourg Malta Netherlands New Zealand Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Singapore, South Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand Turkey Norway Poland Portugal Romania Russia Slovakia Slovenia Spain Sweden, United States, Antigua & Barbuda Aruba Bangladesh Barbados Belize Bermuda Bolivia Brunei Darussalam Cambodia Cayman Islands Dominica Ecuador Egypt French Guiana Gibraltar Grenada Guadeloupe Guernsey Iceland Jersey Jordan Liechtenstein Macau Maldives Martinique Monaco Montserrat Nicaragua Oman Pakistan Paraguay Peru Reunion Saint Kitts & Nevis Saint Lucia Sri Lanka and Turks & Caicos Islands
Applicable customs charges will probably be shown to buyers in non-EU countries - E-Bay collects customs duty for the receiving country, wherever import duty is appropriate. If you don't want to pay the customs charges, do not bid.
I don't send to Japan, Brazil, Ecuador and Peru, as importation of vinyl records is not permitted in their customs regulations.
