HARRISON UK" ALL THINGS MUST PASS " NEAR MINT VINYL

	£		66
	$		87

NOT ONLY A STUNNING EARLY EXAMPLE WITH EARLIEST 1U MATRICIES AND NEAR MINT HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL BUT IN A STUNNING BOX OF A TYPE WHICH I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE L@@K...

  MOST EARLY COPIES HAD BOXES IMPORTED FROM THE USA BUT SOME HAD RARER UK MADE BOXES. HOWEVER BY THE MID 70'S NEARLY ALL THE BOXES SEEM TO BE THE UK VARIETY.

HOWEVER WHAT MAKES THIS BOX SO UNUSUAL IS THAT IT IS COMPLETLY MISSING THE " MADE IN USA / MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN " TEXT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE INSIDE FRONT LID !!

SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THIS BOX WAS MADE ALTHOUGH IT DOES HAVE A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE IN CONSTRUCTION TO EITHER THE COMMON U.K. OR U.S. MADE BOXES WITH A STRANGE " V " CUT INSIE THE OUTER LID.

I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE OF THESE BEFORE UNTIL NOW....NOTE THE LACK OF "MADE IN GB/MADE IN U.S.A. " BELOW

COMPARE THIS TO A UK OR USA BOX....

 UK TRIPLE LP DISPATCH COSTS G 5.99  

NON UK BUYERS PLEASE NOTE MY COMMENTS REGARDING INTERNATIONAL MAIL BELOW...RETURNS POLICY ONLY APPLICABLE TO UK..RETURNS OUTSIDE UK BUYER WILL HAVE TO COVER ALL POSTAGE COSTS Furthermore international bidders please also note that due to ebays new "buyer protection " policy many sellers now refuse to sell internationally anymore. I am not one of those sellers yer but please note I do now reserve the right to refuse to complete a sale to any international bidder that may have low or bad feedback or for any other reason and this is especially so if the item sells for over GBP 100, like I say this is purely a result of ebay/paypals new policy that make it now even harder for sellers to  trade safely internationally. Please bare this in mind if you win an item but find that it has been offered first instead to a domestic UK Bidder.

FOR BIDDERS WITH ZERO FEEDBACK THIS IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT...   I have recently been the victim of serveral spurious bids from several different members (usually based in the Russian Federation). Please note that if you win any of my items and have zero feedback I will ask you for immediate payment or for you to email and immediately confirm that you were a genuine bidder. Failiure to meet either of those critiera will result in the item being  offered to the next highest bidder without further delay. thank you. 

ALL MY RECORDS ARE USUALLY SOLD ON VISUAL GRADINGS ONLY, THEREFORE, WITH THE SINGULAR EXCEPT ION OF THOSE RARE OCCASSIONS WHERE I DO STATE THEY HAVE BEEN PLAY GRADED, AS ALL DISCS ARE 2ND HAND ANY PLAYING DEFECTS ARE THEREFORE CAVIAT EMPTOR AND SO NON REFUNDABLE. I ONLY REFUND  WHERE AN ACTUAL GRADING OF MINE IS DISPUTED

AS I HAVE SAID WHEN RELEASED IN 1970 THIS LP CAME WITH AN ODD MIX OF DISPERATE PARTS. THE DISCS OF COURSE WERE PRESSED IN THE UK BY EMI AND THE COLOURED INNERS WERE ALL MADE AND IMPORTED FROM THE U.S.A. ( I'VE NO IDEA WHY )

CONDITION......

OUTER BOX: ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE SEEN. THESE BOXES USUALLY STORED BADLY AND BECOME GRUBBY AND TATTY VERY QUICKLY, ESPECIALLY THE U.K. ONES WHICH SEEM TO BE FAR LESS ROBUST THAN THE U.S. ONES, HOWEVER WHEREVER THIS ONE WAS MADE THIS IS A FINE EXAMPLE WITH ONE OF THE CLEANESTS FRONT I HAVE EVER SEEN AND A LOVELY READABLE SPINE WHICH USUALLY IS FADED AWAY - A TRUELY LOVELY EXAMPLE WHICH I WOULD GRADE AS EX+ SAVE FOR THE BEGINING OF A STRESS SPLITS IN THE FABRIC THAT ATTACHES THE FRONT LID - HARDLY DETRACTS FROM THIS OTHERWISE LOVELY EXAMPLE

VINYL VISUAL:  ALL THREE DISCS ARE IN STUNNING ORDER AND GLEAM AS THEY DID WHEN FIRST PURCHASED, HARDLY EVEN THE ODD LIGHT BAG REMOVAL MARK UNDER MY HALOGEN LAMP  GRADES EX PLUS TO NEAR MINT ALL SIX SIDES, LOVELY

LABELS: NO WRITINGS OR LABELS GRADE EX PLUS

INNERS : ALL THREE US SOFT CARD INNERS ARE LOVELY AND CLEAN HOWEVER I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY OF THESE THAT ARE NOT STRESS SPLIT AND WHILST THESE ARE NO EXCEPTION ALTHOUGH THE SPLITS ARE NOT REALLY VERY LARGE. STILL LOOK LOVELY THOUGH AND GRADE VG+/EX-  WHICH IS MORE LIKE EX+ FOR THESE 

TRACKS:-

IN LOVELY CONDITION  - GOOD LUCK TO ALL BIDDERS!!

(Please note that whilst I try to endeavour to adhere to strict RC gradings I will never describe ANYTHING AS MINT even when I think it to be so. As far as I am concerned any secondhand item by definition cannot be mint. However if I believe an item to be Mint  I will instead either use the terms Near Mint, mint minus, or in archive or vault condition. When I use these terms you know that in my opinion this is in effect a de-facto Mint grade )

Dont forget to take a look at my other items. Please feel free to contact me with any queries you may have.

                                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I ONLY DO A COUPLE OF RUNS A WEEK TO THE POST OFFICE BUT MY ITEMS ARE ALWAYS DISPATCHED WELL WITHIN ONE CALENDAR WEEK OF PAYMENT BEING RECEIVED. I APOLOGISE IN ADVANCE TO THOSE BUYERS WHO SEEM TO EXPECT THEIR ITEM TO ARRIVE THE NEXT DAY, IF YOU WANT TO CHECK WHEN AN ITEM WAS SENT JUST PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AND I WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO TELL YOU!! (SOME PEOPLE DO MAKE YOU LAUGH, FOR ITEMS I BUY I ONLY NORMALLY GET CONCERNED AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND EVEN AFTER THAT THEN ONLY POLIETELY ENQUIRE IF AND WHEN THE ITEM WAS SENT).

                                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PAYMENTS BY PAYPAL ARE PREFERRED BUT I ALSO ACCEPT OTHER METHODS. I ALSO POST WORLDWIDE (PLS APPLY FOR RATES) BUT DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH A DISREPUTABLE BUYER IN JAPAN (PIGGIESSS - I AM HAPPY TO NAME THEM) , FOR ALL PAYMENTS MADE VIA PAYPAL THE ITEM WILL ONLY BE SENT BOTH TO THE UK AND WORLDWIDE BY RECORDED OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR DELIVERY. THIS IS TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY ATTEMPT TO CLAIM BACK THE PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL EVEN AFTER ACTUALLY HAVING RECEIVED THE ITEM.

THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS HAD THE RESULT OF INCREASING MY COSTS FOR POSTING AND PACKING AND I AM VERY SORRY FOR THIS BUT PAYPAL OFFER NO PROTECTION FOR SELLERS UNLESS THERE IS PROOF OF DELIVERY!! PROOF OF POSTING WOULD SEEM INSUFFICIENT TO THEM AND I HAVE FOUND THIS OUT THE HARD WAY..

DUE TO THE BEHAVIOUR OF THIS SAME BUYER PAYPAL PAYMENTS WILL ALSO NOT BE ACCEPTED FROM BUYERS WHO DO NOT ALLOW THEIR FEEDBACK TO READ, SO IF YOU FALL INTO THIS CATEGORY PLEASE DO NOT BID ON MY ITEMS UNLESS YOU CAN PAY BY ANOTHER METHOD…….

EUROPE INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR MAIL COSTS HAVE RECENTLY INCREASED AND ARE NOW USUALLY GBP 9.99 FOR A SINGLE LP AND FOR USA/REST OF WORLD IT IS USUALLY NOW GBP 13.99 FOR A SINGLE AND GBP 16.99 FOR A DOUBLE LP , FOR COMBINED POSTAGE PLEASE ALLOW G 2.00 FOR EACH ADDITIONAL DISC.
