Description
Selling-up my record collection. Here is a valuable single, from 1967, an excellent piece of English psychedelia. As you may know, this is the 1967 version of Zoot Money's band, featuring Andy Summers, who gets a shared composer credit.
Not all rare records are actually good music, but this one is!
Pictures are my photos of the items for sale. Photos are part of the description, have a good look.
I've found a red Columbia sleeve for this, which is probably appropriate.
You may have noticed there's a lot of spindle wear, and wear to the label - suggesting something that's been played a lot, by someone clumsy. Indeed, the A-side is covered in scratches, most of which are light and surface-y. Seriously, covered! On the other hand, it's flat, and isn't cracked or chipped on the edge.
However, they knew how to make durable records in the sixties - sometimes records in this state play surprisingly well. I have play-tested this single, with good results. It doesn't skip or stick (on my expensive turntable). There is crackling - sometimes constant, sometimes individual crackles - all through replay. At the start, the intro music is quiet, and the crackling is louder than the music - the first part is always the most damaged on old singles. As the music gets louder - and crackling reduces - things improve. The music actually sounds right (I've heard a good copy of this), but with added crackling in every quiet moment. Vinyl lovers will know, that scratchy sounds have a certain volume, but the music is sometimes quiet and sometimes loud - loud music drowns-out scratchiness (hence, scratchy Led Zeppelin records are OK, and scratchy Pink Floyd records are a pain..). On this single, once it gets up to full volume on the music, and particularly later in the song, it actually sounds rather good.
Record Collector's Guide suggests a price of £120 for a mint copy of this. So I'll start this copy at £15, and you guys can decide how much it's worth..
Postage at cost within UK - £1.40 for First Class (large letter).
I'm happy to send this overseas, see below for details, if bidding from outside UK.
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. Combined postage may or may not be possible through the Program - if e-bay shows combined postage for their courier job, I'll do combined postage for the transit inside UK. I can't see this until you pay.
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 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
International postage plus applicable customs charges will probably be shown to buyers in the following non-EU countries - E-Bay collects customs duty for the receiving country: Australia, Brazil, Canada, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, Russia and USA, and wherever else import duty is appropriate - e.g. Norway.
I WILL DEFINITELY NOT post to countries that are not included in the above lists, and I don't send to China.
