Description
UK original 1st issue of 1970 LP entitled The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett.
On the Harvest label, catalogue number SHVL 765 - with no EMI boxes on labels; "The Gramophone Co....." text at 10 o'clock and with "MADE IN GT. BRITAIN" at 6 o'clock. All denotes this as original issue of the LP. Matrix numbers are A-2G and B-2G.
The vinyl is in EX- condition with a couple of light marks and occasional light crackle but no significant issues. Laminated gatefold sleeve rates VG++ and would be better but for blue felt-tip writing inside the gatefold. Number to top right, date to bottom middle and a name to the right leaf - damn shame but, that apart, it's in great nick. Inner sleeve is plain and most likely original (the so-called "original" Harvest advertising sleeves would not have been issued with this LP).
Postage prices are as follows:
Special Delivery in the UK £9.00.
Tracked & Signed to Europe £15. (I will adjust the postage cost on invoice after listing closes)
Tracked & Signed to Elsewhere £17.50.
I am requesting that each week's transactions are concluded BEFORE the following week's items close - therefore, kindly ensure payment is made within four days of auction completion (the actual eBay written policy is payment within TWO days) - and then I will post the item before the following Saturday unless circumstances prevent that occurring. If payment is not received, I will reluctantly report the winning bidder as "non-paying".
