During nearly six years of trading on ebay, I have received over 1,500 positive feedbacks from around 1,200 individual customers, almost all from the sale of vinyl records.

I take great pride in ensuring that my records are always described accurately and fairly. All my items come with a money-back guarantee - if it's not as described, you can return it for a full refund.

Lovely example of this 1st pressing.

This sleeve is notoriously hard to find in excellent condition as it is black, unlaminated and has a die-cut hole right in the middle of the front of the sleeve. The die-cut is often damaged or torn and the sleeve invariably shows lots of wear. This sleeve has survived pretty well and, although it isn't perfect, it has no serious issues. The vinyl looks great and appears to have been rarely played.

This has the following 1st press matrix numbers:

Side 1: 6360008 1Y//2

Side 2: 6360008 2Y//1

Detailed description
Vinyl: The vinyl looks great and has retained its original high sheen. It has clearly been very well cared for and rarely played. Under bright light, fine hairlines, marks and scuffs were visible as well as a couple of slightly more prominent marks. I have played the entire record and it plays through perfectly. There is background noise and crackle which can be heard in the quiet parts and the run-ins/outs, fades, silent grooves and intros, and the occasional random click and some swishy crackle in the quitest tracks but there is nothing loud or instrusive. I noticed ten clicks near the end of 'Torrid Zone', but no other repetitive clicks. This is a great copy which was a pleasure to listen to.
Labels: Both labels look superb with absolutely no signs of damage, writing, stickers etc and just very light spindle marking.
Sleeve: The sleeve has no damage, writing, splits, tears or stickers etc and just light signs of use. There is a noticeable crease in the top left corner and a few other light creases around the edges and corners. There is some wear and ring wear and a few minor marks to the predominantly black exterior. There is just one small, soft crease in the die-cut and a couple of tiny dents, but no tears or damage. Inside the gatefold is very fresh and clean with barely a mark to be seen.
Edge wear: There is moderate wear to the edges and spine, but the text is all readable. There are just light signs of use at the opening.
Corner wear: moderate
Inner sleeve: Original Vertigo swirl inner has no tears or splits, just light signs of age and use.

Detracting features not covered above:  None. This is a really nice example of this hard-to-find LP.

Information about descriptions.
My items are always described accurately and fairly. I always do my best to point out any blemishes which might detract from the item and all photographs are of the actual item you will get.

Play-graded vinyl: I play grade records where possible but I don't have time to play them all. I will not usually play records which appear to be in excellent or NM condition. I always state in the listing if I have played a record prior to describing it. When I play a record I listen to it carefully through headphones, taking notes of any noise, clicks, distortion etc and play it all the way through, unless stated otherwise.

Visually-graded vinyl: Unless specifically stated in the listing, vinyl is visually graded.  I will not usually play records which appear to be in excellent or NM condition. A visual grading will identify physical flaws (such as scratches) and can help determine whether a record has been cared-for properly, but it will not detect noise or crackle caused by non-visible sources. Most of the records I sell are between thirty and fifty years old and so it is likely that there may be some background noise even if they look perfect. Visually graded records can only be returned if I have made an error or significant omission in my description - I cannot accept returns of visually graded records based on the buyer's assessment of their play grade. Please do not bid if you disagree with this.

******************************************

I have some very simple terms and conditions. Please read them before bidding. If you do not agree with them, please don't bid. Thank you.

TERMS & CONDITIONS

• Your bid is binding, so please make sure you have READ and UNDERSTOOD the WHOLE LISTING before you bid. I will not accept returns of items where the buyer has not read or not understood something which is stated in the listing.
• My items are fully guaranteed - if it is not as described you can return it for a full refund. However, I do not operate an 'approval' service - your bid is binding unless I have made an error or omission in the listing. 
• I accept Paypal and postal orders (in UK Sterling GBP) for all purchases.  I also accept cheques (in UK Sterling GBP) on orders OVER £50.
• Please pay for your item within three days of the auction closing. If you are intending to bid on other items and wish to pay when they have closed, please contact me to let me know. I reserve the right to cancel any transactions and offer the item to the second highest bidder if no contact or payment is made within three days.

******************************************

POSTAGE & PACKING

I care about the records I sell and believe that they need to be carefully and securely packaged to ensure that they survive their journey through the post. Vinyl is removed from the sleeve for posting and the contents will be protected with rigid cardboard stiffeners. All packages are labelled "Do not bend" and securely sealed with "FRAGILE" parcel tape.

I support the use of recycled materials and so I may send some items in packaging which has been previously used or which has been made from other cardboard packaging. If you wish your item to be sent in entirely new packaging please let me know before paying for it. Thanks.

******************************************

P&P charges

I need to cover the cost of postage, packing materials, time and fees but I try not to charge more for packing and posting your item than it actually costs me. I do not view P&P costs as a means of making money.

However, to quote an exact cost for every LP is difficult because of the wide variance in weight (e.g. Abbey Road weighs around 230 grams whereas Led Zeppelin III weighs around 390 grams). But the majority of single LPs, when packed, will weigh around 500-550 grams and I have based my P&P rates on this.

Occasionally, you may end up paying a few pence more than it actually costs me and occasionally you may end up paying a few pence less than it actually costs me. If there is a significant discrepancy in your favour I will refund the difference.

Double LPs will be charged as two LPs, triple LPs will be charged as three LPs. Box sets etc will be charged according to weight.

UK P&P costs

UK Standard service - items are sent quickly and securely using first class recorded post, which includes insurance up to £41. The cost for this is as follows:

First LP or 12" = £3.80, each additional LP or 12" add £0.80

First 7" or CD = £1.90, each additional 7" or CD add £0.50


UK Fully insured service - Any order valued over £41 will be sent fully insured using Royal Mail Special Delivery and the total cost of this will be £7.50.  Multiple-item orders weighing more than 1kg or items valued over £500 will cost slightly more to insure, so please wait for my invoice before paying.


UK Economy service - If the value of your order is below £10 you can request a new invoice to have your item sent by standard second class post (unrecorded). However, please be aware that this service can take up to a week to reach you and in the event of a claim for loss or damage, Royal Mail will not reimburse the full value of your order. The cost for this is as follows:

First LP or 12" = £3.00, each additional LP or 12" add £0.70

For overseas orders, I include insurance on all invoices. This is additional to the costs above.

Overseas orders valued over £10 will ONLY be sent fully insured.
