Description
The original 1973 release on the RCA Victor label (RS 1001). Condition is Used. Dispatched with Shutl. With "lyrics" inner sleeve and "fan club" insert in near mint condition. Outer sleeve is a bit dirty and scuffed, has the shop price sticker on the front cover, a small gouge on the back, and some biro shop writing inside the record slot but the corners are pretty good and there is no creasing (see photos). Sleeve overall graded VERY GOOD.
Play tested - near perfect on my equipment (but might not be if you have something super-fancy!). There are no scratches, jumps, or crackle, just a few spots on and especially between a few tracks but these don't take away from the stunningly undated music, now near 50 years on. The vinyl and the label are in mint condition visually. Vinyl is graded EXCELLENT.
Please view all the photos (if you want more photos please ask!). Note that on some photos you may see dust on the vinyl, that’s because I have always believed that minimum contact maintains the vinyl in the best condition, so I only dust-wipe them just before playing. None of my records have been “cleaned”.
I have many LPs for sale including 3 others by this artist (and am adding more as I find time to play-check them) and can maintain the total postage cost at £3.60 up to the limits of my bubble pack envelopes (approx 4 LPs, depending on thickness) as long as you contact me AFTER buying but BEFORE making payment so I can adjust the invoice.
By the way I make no money on the postage at £3.60. After a problem with an alleged non-receipt of a package I now send everything “signed for” with Shutl / Hermes, which costs £2.79 per package. The bubble pack envelopes cost over 33p each. eBay charge me 10% (36p per package), and Paypal charge 3.4% (over 12p per package). If you add that lot up it costs £3.61
I can also offer International despatch, but the rates vary quite a lot according to destination and value (for insurance). For example to France – up to £20 value costs £5.60, from £20 - £25 costs £9.86, and £25 - £50 costs £11.20. Under £25 these are unsigned for, and untracked services. The costs above include the eBay and Paypal charges. I will only ever charge what it costs me for despatch. If you want a specific quote please contact me before bidding – if you win please tell me BEFORE you pay and I will adjust the invoice accordingly. As for UK despatch I can generally pack 4 (or maybe more) LPs in the same package.
Grading System
Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The sleeves and any extra items might have a few very small corner dents and/or light creasing.
Very Good: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite notable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the sleeves or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
