FOR BIDDERS OUTSIDE UK THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT...  non uk bidders please read my notes about international postage below.....returns policy only applies to UK outside of UK buyer has to cover the return postage!

FIRST OF ALL IT IS NOT ONLY AMAZING TO FIND A PORKY PECKO CUT COPY OF IMAGINE FULLY COMPLETE WITH INNER POSTER AND POST CARD IN STUNNING NOT FAR OFF NEAR MINT OVERALL CONDITION, BUT AS IF THAT WASN'T ENOUGH THIS COPY MAY ALSO HAVE A UNIQUE LABEL ERROR....

ON SIDE ONE IT HAS THE CORRECT STEREO LABEL, WHERAS ON SIDE TWO IT HAS AN INCORRECT QUADRAPHONIC LABEL !!!

QUADS WERE PRODUCED FROM 1972 AND IN SUCH TINY NUMBERS THAT TO FIND A COCK UP LIKE THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE!! INDEED I SUSPECT THAT ANYBODY BUYING THIS MAYBE BE BUYING SOMETHING UNIQUE AS I FIND IT HARD TO BELEIVE THAT THERE COULD BE MANY MORE OF THESE IN EXSISTANCE, THIS COULD INDEED BE THE ONLY ONE......

EVEN WITHOUT THAT ERROR IN THIS CONDITION THIS IS A BIT SPECIAL, HOWEVER WITH A LOW START AND NO RESERVE YOU COULD ALSO END UP WITH A COPY THAT NOBODY ELSE WILL EVER HAVE, GOOD LUCK !!

THE CONDITION

SLEEVE:  ALMOST PERFECT, AS CLOSE TO MINT AS YOU COULD EVER HOPE TO SEE, A DEEP DEEP SHEEN RETAINS TO THE LAMINATION SO THIS DISC CAN ONLY HAVE EVER LIVED IT'S LIFE INSIDE A PLASTIC COVER. SOME MINOR LAMINATE BUBBLING TO THE EDGE BUT NOTHING THAT WOULDN'T BE CONSISTANT WITH FINDING IN THE SHOP RACK  BACK IN 1972. YOU WAIT TILL YOU SEE IT.

VINYL VISUAL: SIDE ONE AGAIN AS CLOSE TO MINT AS YOU COULD EXPECT TO SEE, SIDE TWO HAS JUST A TAD MORE WHISPY MARKS UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT THAN SIDE ONE BUT MOSTLY JUST CONCISTANT WITH BAG REMOVAL BUT SIDE TWO STILL GRADES EX PLUS

LABELS:  BOTH THE STEREO AND QUAD LABELS ONLY SHOW THE TINIEST EVIDENCE OF PLAY,  GRADES EXCELLENT PLUS

POSTER: NO FAULTS AT ALL, A BIT OF BLUR TACK ON BACK WHICH SOULD COME OFF IF YOU FEEL THE NEED GRADES EXCELLENT EASY

POSTCARD, NOTHING, NADA AS CLOSE TO MINT AS YOU COULD EVER EXPECT TO FIND

LYRIC INNER : EVEN THE LEAST BEST PART OF THE PACKAGE IS STILL A FINE SPECIMEN , A SPLIT TO THE BOTTOM BUT STILL IN FINE ORDER BUT I HAVE TO DOWNGRADE TO VG PLUS FOR THIS, BUT STILL ONLY SLIGHTLY LETTING THE SIDE DOWN

GOOD LUCK TO ALL BIDDERS, I PROMISE THIS WILL NOT DISSAPOINT AND WHATS MORE YOU COULD HOLD A UNIQUE EXAMPLE IN YOUR HANDS HERE, ARE THERE ANYMORE OUT THERE??? I WOULD BE SURPRISED!!

(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 )

INSURANCE INCLUDED IN P&P PRICE DEPENDING ON FINAL SALE VALUE...

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 (EBAY WILL NOT ALLOW ME 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…….COST VIA INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR MAIL TO EUROPE FOR A SINGLE LP IS USUALLY GBP 8.99 AND TO THE USA/REST OF THE WORLD GBP 12.99 FOR A SINGLE LP AND 15.99 FOR A DOUBLE...
