Hello my name is Brian and I have been a music collector for many years and have always bought and sold items to feed my passion...I have never been a dealer and I will always describe my items for sale as honestly and accurately as possible with plenty of clear and detailed pictures.
If you read my ebay feed back as a seller you will see that people are happy with what they have received from my auctions. I try not to waffle on about how rare an item is using silly expressions such as "AWESOME" or "IMPOSSIBLE LIKE THIS" etc etc (yawn yawn)!

I am very particular about packaging. I use quality packaging with cardboard stiffeners.

Please bid with confidence, and if for some reason you are not happy with your purchase i am happy to give a FULL refund on receiving the item back in the condition I posted it out in.

I recommend extra insurance for the more valuable items (over £40), it only costs a couple of pounds and is well worth it in my opinion.

All overseas shipping is sent through eBays GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAMME.

I use the 'RECORD COLLECTOR' grading system with a + or - where appropriate.

- On the back top right corner (1E 064 o 05249) is centered between SHVL 804 and "stereo" (later issues have it left aligned).
- Each label has "Made in Gt Britain" printed twice, below the triangle and in the rim text (later issues do not have "Made in Gt Britain" below the triangle).
- The labels credit "The Gramophone Company Ltd" below "Side 1" & "Side 2", yet credit "EMI Records Ltd" in the rim text (earlier issues credit "The Gramophone Company Ltd" in the rim text).

Comes with two A2-sized posters and two stickers.

Note: The 3rd pressing should have any variation of A2/B2 A3/B3 A3/B2 or A2/B3 stampers in the run-out and "EMI Records Ltd" in the rim text. Variations with greater numbers than 2 or 3 in either of the stampers indicate a 4th pressing or later.
