JING YING SOLOISTS: Like Waves Against The Sand (Saydisc, SDL 325, 1981, LP)
NO SLEEVE! This is a factory sample copy from Nimbus and is the record only - Nimbus did not keep sleeves for their factory sample copies. One copy per pressing run was kept in case of any problems with returns so that they had a copy to compare. There are no visual indications to suggest that Nimbus ever had to resort to playing this copy (another that had been test played had a note on the sleeve to that effect). Record certainly looks as new. Would do nicely as a replacement if you played your original copy to death! That or you want to hear what this usually overpriced LP sounds like without spending a fortune (very nice, is the answer).
I have been Saydisc's 'official unofficial' chronicler for twelve or so years now and, what with helping out over the current blues multi-set reissues of vinyl-only music on CD, I ended up with a large pile of these file copies as a thank you when Nimbus found them and decided to dump them. What Nimbus was doing still having them, what with Saydisc having deleted the vinyl copies in 1987, I don't know!
* * * * Records generally have light marks from going in and out of sleeves - these are not mentioned unless they cause audible noise. All records are play tested unless explicitly stated otherwise. Please look at the photos carefully because they generally give a better idea of condition of sleeves/labels than my descriptions.
All items won, up to a value of £50.00, will be sent as Royal Mail 'signed for'. If items are bid above £50.00 (or multiple items won come to more than £50), they will be sent as Royal Mail Special Delivery, so that parcels are correctly insured against loss or damage in transit. If you win multiple items, please do not pay until I have invoiced with correct postage. Note that the postage costs stated include packaging costs. Where possible, packaging will be recycled but sturdy/secure.
The more you buy, the more you save on postage - if winning up to 6 single LPs the postage cost will be the same as for winning 1 LP. If winning multiple records with a combined value of over £50, the higher cost postal rate applies. Note that if you win items in multiple formats, (e.g., an LP and a CD), these have to be sent as multiple parcels (though I can bundle up a 7" records with an LP). If you win more than 1 item, please wait to be invoiced before paying.
Thanks to an increase in non-paying bidders, unpaid for items are relisted after 5 days and non-payers are automatically added to my blocked list. If you are still bidding on other items, please contact me to let me know. I will only end an auction early if there is a problem with the record listing. Thanks to multiple problems, mainly Brexit-related, I will not post items outside of the UK.

Conditions tend to be subjective, and with vinyl I won't use 'Mint' for new, still sealed, un-played records - all records come fresh from the pressing plant with some minor imperfection to sleeve, record, inner, etc. So, I start with Excellent for the most part. The majority of LP sleeves from played but well looked after records tend to be what I would call Very Good (which should mean exactly what it says, 'very good'). Judging by most items bought on eBay over the last few years would tend to suggest that my "Very Good" (and, often, my "Good") equates to many sellers' "Excellent".
With tapes and CDs, I don't generally bother stating condition for standard jewel cases because these can be easily replaced - look closely at the photos! Tapes and CDs either play or they don't, so the media will be described as Mint if the former, though with mention of any wear to CD surface/tape casing.
Unless stated otherwise, all items on offer are from my own collection, started in 1966, and most of which has been in storage for the last fifteen years or so. Lockdowns caused me to revisit and clear stuff out. Why do I have multiple copies of records that I will never listen to again (except to grade them for sale, that is). There are about 15,000 more items to come from my rambling progressive rock, jazz fusion, folk, folk-rock, blues, 1950s stereo classical and easy listening, psychedelic, reggae, ambient, spoken word, comedy, Victoriana, railway, field recordings, electronic and occasionally just plain 'out there' collection.
