Kaleidoscope Flight From Ashiya RARE ACETATE Fontana

	£		52
	$		69

Artist: Kaleidoscope

Title: Flight From Ashiya - EXTREMELY RARE ACETATE - has written on it 'Release mid September' (which would have been 1967)

Tracks: Flight From Ashiya

Year of Release:  1967

Label:  Fontana

Disc condition: Fair /poor- the disc has many surface marks but because of the rarity of the item it has not been played (Acetates were only designed to be played a few times anyway before sound quality deteriorates) This record is still highly desirable even in this condition because there can only be a handful of these in existance at most. The normal issue single is highly collectable so an acetate of it would be a highly prized item to have for anyone who collects rare records of this genre.  

Because of the delicate nature of this item collection may be an option but if I do send the item then I will package it as well as I possibly can. This can be discussed with the winning bidder.

Please feel free to e-mail me with any questions and check out my other items for auction and I’ll be happy to combine postage!!!

Payment
Payment must be made within seven days of the end of the auction unless agreed and I am always happy to hold items for multiple purchases.

UK bidders are welcome to pay by PayPal, personal cheque or postal order.

Overseas bidders must pay by PayPal only.

Non-EEC International Bidders please note you may be liable to local import duty.

Returns

I want you to be happy with your purchase and I try my best to be honest and accurate with my descriptions so all items are described in accordance with Record Collector’s Grading system as follows:

MINT – sealed or unplayed

NEAR MINT – in brand new condition with no marks or deterioration in sound quality

EXCELLENT – shows some signs of having been played with slight wear

VERY GOOD – sleeve may have wear and tear and the vinyl may have noticeable marks or light scratches but no major deterioration

However if you are not satisfied that the record is in the condition described, I will happily take it back and refund the cost of the item upon return in exactly the same condition as it was shipped.

Postage Costs

For UK bidders I send items by first class standard delivery but give the option for first class recorded delivery which is 72p on top of the nornal first class costs.  I am happy to combine postage costs for multiple items purchased at the same time. Normally this will be an additional 50p per item. However, for larger amounts up to 10kg within the UK for £21.00 by special delivery next day, which provides priority handling, tracking and insurance up to £500. It is probably best to discuss these issues as and when they occur.

International Buyers please note that postage quoted is via International Signed For which provides tracking and priority handling by Royal Mail. International Signed For only adds £3.50 to each parcel (NB parcel weight limit for airmail is 2kg) so if you are multi-buying it becomes more cost effective to use Airsure, which is available to certain worldwide destinations and includes insurance up to £500.00. This adds only £4.50 per parcel. For international multibuyers who purchase items totaling more than 2kg in weight it may be necessary to dispatch in more than one parcel.

Dispatch

All items are dispatched in strong custom designed card mailers to ensure that they reach you in optimum condition. and I endeavour to post items within three working days of receiving payment – depending omn when I can get to the post office.

First Class / Special Delivery – one working day

Second Class – three working days (please ask at the time of purchase if you want to iuse this option - UK only)

Airmail (Western Europe) – three working days

Airmail (Eastern Europe) – four working days

Airmail (Rest of the World) – five working days

Postal Insurance and Compensation

Most Royal Mail services have a maximum compensation level of £34 however if your successful winning bid is more than £34 (excluding postage costs), I recommend you opt for a service which offers increased compensation.

In the UK I recommend Special Delivery Next Day, which is insured up to £500, and costs an extra £3.60 for a single CD (this becomes more cost effective the more you purchase up to 500g - approx 4 CD albums). Please ask for a quote if you purchase more than 4 CD's. 

Overseas buyers can pay an additional £2.20 for insurance up to £500. If you opt for a service that offers less compensation than you have paid for on your item and it goes missing or gets damaged, it will be your loss!

I always obtain retain proof of postage so in the event of an item being lost or damaged, I will make the appropriate claim for compensation, and will reimburse you if the claim is successful. If the item is damaged, you may have to return it to me, which you will have to do at your own expense, so that I can make the claim and reimburse you if the claim is successful.
