OTHER DETAILS -
• Tupelo Recording Company TUP LP6, 1989 UK issue/pressing
• Original white paper inner sleeve • Original UK 1st press, A1/B1 matrix numbers
• Original 11-track release which includes "Big Cheese" and omits "Love Buzz"
Debut album from Nirvana, and still my personal favourite (more raw than Nevermind or In Utero). Features Chad Channing and Dale Crover on drums in the days before Dave Grohl! This is the first UK issue, on the Tupelo label, which includes "Big Cheese" but omits the single "Love Buzz". The album was later issued by Sub Pop and DCG with this track included - it was also included on the 1992 UK CD release. This album was bought from new by me and has been in my collection ever since, so you can rest assured that it hasn't passed from collector to collector over the years. It has been very sparingly played, as I have another copy which did get used while this was put away for a rainy day (which sadly, is now!). The sleeve is glossy so you may see some reflections etc. in the pictures above.
The cover is nice and clean and in at least EX condition (see pictures above). The original inner sleeve is EX and has no splits or tears etc. The record is also at least EX - there are just a few VERY light storage hairlines here and there, so light that they disappear as you tilt the record. A decent copy!
UK and overseas buyers - please note that due to the rarity of this item, I will only send fully tracked and insured within the UK and either by Tracked & Signed For service or by eBay's Global Shipping Programme overseas - also note that any fees which may be charged by ebay are imposed by them entirely and any customs fees/import duties or taxes are down to the laws of your country, not me, and are to be paid by the buyer - I have no say or influence as to how much any further costs, if any, may be and will not mark as a 'gift' or put a lower price on the customs declaration, sorry! If in any doubt, please investigate if there will be any further costs to you BEFORE bidding.
Please see all pictures above and if you have any questions or need any more info., don't hesitate to get in touch.
Cover and labels are as seen in the pictures above (actual item shown) - see below for record grading, which obviously applies to records which have been played ONLY!
Please note that all vinyl is visually graded under a bright halogen bulb - it is only play-graded if specifically stated.
POSTAGE AND PACKING
UK - £4.95 by Royal Mail Tracked 48 or £5.95 by Royal Mail Tracked 24. 'Signed For' is extra.
ELSEWHERE - please select the 'Postage & Payments' tab, then choose your country from the drop-down menu and click on 'get rates'.
VINYL GRADING
NEW: note that still sealed items will be presumed to be in 'new' condition, but are obviously sold as seen. Any visible signs of wear/storage etc. beneath the shrinkwrap will be mentioned.
MINT: note please note that I will NEVER use the 'MINT' grade, as I think you are asking for trouble! The highest grade for an item that is not new will use will be NM (Near Mint).
NEAR MINT (NM): The record itself is in very close to 'as new' condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in almost perfect condition.
EXCELLENT (EX): The record shows signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD (VG): The record has obviously been played a number of times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and maybe some occasional light scratches. If there is any surface noise it will be occasional, light and unobtrusive. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD (G): The record has obviously been played a lot and while it still plays through OK, it will have a lot of surface marks and/or light scratches (maybe also the occasional 'feelable' scratch) and most likely there there will be regular and noticeable surface noise. The cover and contents may suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine and/or seam splits, discoloration, etc.
TERMS & CONDITIONS
*Important* - the ONLY countries I will send to by uninsured mail are as follows: -
- UK.
- Europe (EU countries ONLY and Norway).
- USA and Canada.
- Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
If you live anywhere else then your parcel MUST be insured, the cost of which is to be covered by the buyer. Very sorry, but NO EXCEPTIONS to this rule.
If you live in a country that I am prepared to send by regular, uninsured mail please bear in mind that I always get a receipt and proof of posting for every item sent, but THERE WILL NOT BE A TRACKING NUMBER UNLESS YOU HAVE PAID FOR INSURED/TRACKED MAIL. Should an item take longer than expected to arrive, I will do everything I can to help, but please don't assume that there is a tracking number! Most overseas buyers seem to assume this, for some reason! If you want the item to be tracked, please choose the 'International Signed For' option at checkout - thanks!
Finally, please note that if your item (or if the combined values of the items in a single parcel) is £20.00 or above, then insurance is compulsory wherever you live. This is an extra £1.10 for 'Signed For' in the UK (up to the value of £50, after which extra cover will need to be paid for by the buyer) or an extra £5.30 for overseas buyers to cover 'International Signed For'.
