If you are looking at this auction I'm sure you will know all about it'shistory.

I purchased this record new in my youth and it has hardly been played since. The sound is crisp and clear, no or very very little background noise. Brilliant reproduction especially with the volume cranked up.


Condition:-

Record:

Excellent++. I have just played this record and it really looks and plays very well, there are very few surface marks that do not effect the play. It sounds like it has just come from the shop. Crystal clear sound with no unwanted'noise'. It sounds just about as good as the day it was pressed.There is a 'name' on the label (side 1) otherwise the labels are excellent.

Outer Cover:

Good +. The none laminated sleeve is in excellent condition with only very small scuffing to the corners and bottom edge. The art work is still crystal clear and clean with some edge and corner scuffing. The spine is very good but there is a small tear in the bottom of the spine.

The inner sleeve is very good and clean. There is a name printed on the reverse side.

The inner sleeve is in very good condition, small slit at the bottom slight folds, I will supply a new inner sleeve.

Please see pictures, I might be a bit hard with the description?

I am not a record dealer, I am selling part of an extensive collection of interesting and rare vinyl collected during my youth. I will be adding many more very rare vinyl LP's over the next weeks.

Identifying each recording is not easy, but I have tried to be as accurate as I can be. Please forgive any mistakes and please let me know if I get anything wrong.

I will try my best to correct any errors.

I have more pictures if you would like any more please let me know.

I now apply the eBay ‘4-day’ rule for non-payment.

Please note and take in consideration that vinyl records although perfectly playable do not have the same quality sound as today’s modern CDs, they tend to have a much richer sound, but there is inevitably someback ground 'noise'

All my records are of good playable quality but should be properly cleaned before playing.

You should bare in mind that these vinyl records are many years old and will thus not be in pristine condition, they were not produced yesterday.

THE POST OFFICE HAVE PUT UP THE COST POSTAGE AGAIN !

For safety all my records will be well packed in LP mailer envelope with packers and posted 'signed For', hence the slightly higher packing and postage costs.

PAYMENT:I prefer PayPal, but I will accept cheques and postal orders.

The item will be posted as soon as any cheque has been cleared, several days!

Please take notethe seller will not be held responsible for items lost intransit via standard mail .

Sorry but no collections are possible, unless by prior agreement, i.e. before you bid.

Record Collector's grading system used.

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERYGOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

FAIR:The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

POOR:The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surfacenoise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.

I would now grade both the sleeve and vinyl as good, the very last thing I want is some person buying this thinking it has just been manufactured.

This record has been played and has not just been manufactured, there are people out there that expect a lot from second hand vinyl and I don't want them bidding on this record.

Please contact me if you have any questions.
