Description
A KIND NOTE FOR UK BIDDERS. I WILL SOON BE LOSING MY TOP SELLER STATUS THANKS TO THREE BUYERS IN 12 MONTHS WHO FOR SOME INEXPLICABLE REASON GAVE ME LESS THAN 3 STARS FOR POSTAGE AND PACKING. I SEND MANY ITEMS OUT FOR FREE AND OTHERS AT COST BUT BECAUSE I HAVE TO SEND SIGNED FOR MAIL TO PROTECT MYSELF AGAINST FRAUDSTERS SOME MAY FEEL THIS COST EXCESSIVE.
I WOULD THEREFORE ASK ANYBODY WHO MISTAKENLY FEELS THIS WAY TO FIRST CHECK THEIR PARCEL AND SEE THE EXACT COST OF THE PACKAGE PRIOR TO LEAVING ANY FEEDBACK. SHOULD THEY THEN STILL FEEL I HAVE OVERCHARGED THEM PLEASE CONTACT ME AND I WILL REFUND THEM IMMEDIATELY . FOR GENERAL INFO WHEN THE COST OF PACKAGING IS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT OVERALL I LOSE MONEY ON THE POST AND PACKING AS I AM SURE MANY OTHER SELLERS DO ALSO. THANK YOU
WOW ! THIS IS NOT ONLY A SUPER COPY, EASILY ONE OF THE BEST EJ DAY SLEEVED COPY BUT ALSO THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER ON THE " PINK i " ISLAND LABEL REPLACED IN THE EARLY 70'S BY THE PINK RIMMED LABEL BUT ALSO IT IS AN EARLIEST POSSIBLE COPY WITH TEXTURED LABELS AND EARLIEST POSSIBLE SLEEVE WITH A SLEEVE ERROR OMITTING THE EJ DAY PRINTERS CREDIT
THE EJ DAY SLEEVE WAS REPLACED BY A ROBOR PRINTED SLEEVE BUT THIS IS CLEARLY AN EARLIEST POSSIBLE E J DAY SLEEVE AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE COMPARISION PIC BELOW THE MORE TYPICAL EJ DAY SLEEVE BENEATH YOU CAN SEE HOW THIS MIGHT INDICATE THAT THIS WAS ADDED AS AN AFTERTHOUGH :-
L@@K...
GOOD LUCK TO ALL BIDDERS !!

TRACK LISTING ( FROM ANOTHER LISTING )
CONDITION......
VINYL : VISUALLY THIS RETAINS IT'S FIRST PRESSED SHEEN WITH SOME LIGHT HAIRLINE MARKS AND SO VISUALLY IS VG+, HOWEVER ON SIDE TWO JUST AFTER THE START THERE IS AN AREA ( WHICH YOU CAN SEE ON THE SECOND PICTURE ) WHICH MAY BE GROOVE WEAR WHICH CAUSES BACKGROUND WHICH IS NOT PRESENT ELSEWHERE ON THE DISC WHICH PLAYS VERY WELL INDEED.
LABELS: MINOR SPINDLE TRACES WRITINGS OR LABELS GRADES EXCELLENT ALSO
SLEEVE : EASILY ONE OF THE BEST OF THESE EARLY EJ DAY SLEEVES I HAVE SEEN, ( LATER ONES WERE MADE
BY ROBOR ) ALL COLLECTORS WILL KNOW THESE SLEEVES SUFFER BADLY AND YES THIS DISPLAYS ONLY MINOR STORAGE WARE AND WARE TO THE CORNERS. YET IT REMAINS SHARP AND RIGID WITH A SUPERB FULLY READABLE SPINE AND RAZOR SHARP OPENINGS, GRADES EX- WHICH IS MORE LIKE EX+ FOR ONE OF THESE !! WILL BE HARD TO FIND A MUCH BETTER ONE !A CHANCE TO GRAB A RARE PRESSING WITH AN EVEN RARER SLEEVE THAT WOULD HARD TO BETTER...GOOD LUCK TO ALL BIDDERS
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! FOR INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT due to ebays revised " buyer " protection policy even more sellers will start to refuse to sell internationally. I however will still sell internationally but i reserve the right to not to complete any international transaction if the buyer has any bad or witheld feedback or for any other reason that I choose and this is especially so for items that sell for near to GBP 150 or higher. So if you are an international bidder and win one of my auctions and then find I have completed the transaction elsewhere this will be because the new ebay/paypal policy now makes it almost impossible for sellers to sell safely overseas, thank you
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.
DOMESTIC UK DISPATCH WILL BE VIA RECORDED/SIGNED FOR DELIVERY TO PREVENT FRAUDULANT CLAIMS OF NON RECEIPT ! INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE SEE MY NOTES BELOW
(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 BE READ,
COST VIA INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR MAIL HAS RECENTLY BEEN INCREASED BY THE UK POST OFFICE SO TO EUROPE FOR A SINGLE LP IS NOW USUALLY GBP 9.99 AND TO THE USA/REST OF THE WORLD GBP 13.99 FOR A SINGLE LP AND 16.99 FOR A DOUBLE BASED ON A "DECLARED" VALUE OF UNDER GBP 50... ANY ADDITIONAL LP'S SENT VIA COMBINED POSTAGE WILL USALLY BE AROUND AN ADDITION G 2.00 PER LP
