Description

Up for sale is a copy of Skyhooks – Guilty Until Proven Insane LP, Rare Aus 78 Test Pressing, Might Be Unique, Lyric Inner, VINYL NM
Confirmed with a listen that track B2 is in fact Bedroom Eyes and not Point In The Distance. I don't believe this variation was ever released. 

The record is cleaned using an Ultrasonic as well as a Loricraft vacuum record cleaning machine. It's the way I clean my own records and and I'm sure you'll appreciate the difference. IMO they sound superb and I hope you enjoy the difference!

NOTE: eBay automatically calculates postage, so if you're buying more than one record and want to take advantage of combined postage then please feel free to contact me, it's normally $18.50 for any order over one record within Australia. 

CONDITION

Vinyl = NM. white labels

Sleeve = VG+, has handwritten notes, obviously by someone within Mushroom Records, indicating the new hit single "Bedroom Eyes" 

Grading is according to Goldmine Magazine grading standards (full details at the bottom of the listing). All vinyl is graded conservatively, VG indicates a well cared for record, Mint is rarely used and reserved for new records or those in exceptionally good condition.

All records have been stored in and will be posted with an outer sleeve. Records will also be posted in a stiff cardboard mailer to ensure they reach you in perfect condition.

POSTAGE & PACKAGING

NOTE: Postage has changed to calculated cost for Australian buyers and includes a $1.50 charge for the mailer i.e. it now varies depending on your location and is calculated automatically by eBay. I still offer a postage cap of $18.50, so please email me before paying if you want to take advantage of this offer, it's certainly worthwhile if you're buying 5 or more records. Also this is the first time I've changed postage since I opened the shop so please feel free to contact me if you encounter any issues or feel you've been over charged. Cheers.

All records come with a new outer sleeve and inner sleeve, it  also will be posted in a dedicated cardboard mailer to insure it reaches you safely. Local pickup from Inner West Sydney is also welcome.

RETURNS

As always I offer a full money back guarantee if you're not satisfied with your purchase. Please just contact me if there are any issues and I will try and sort it out to your satisfaction. Also returns are welcome, please note that depending on the nature of the problem, return postage costs maybe at the buyers expense, but bid with confidence as I am yet to have an item returned.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The record is cleaned using an Ultrasonic and a Loricraft Vacuum Record Cleaning Machine. It's the way I clean my own records and and I'm sure you'll appreciate the difference. It'll sound superb and I hope you enjoy it!

Feel free to contact me with any questions and also please check out my other auctions. Good luck and happy bidding!

GRADING

Grading is as per Goldmine Magazine grading standards, with items being graded conservatively.

SS : Still Sealed - in factory-fresh condition

M : Mint - perfect, possibly unplayed

NM : Near Mint - a near perfect, may have just a few light surface scratches

VG+ : Very Good Plus - has some superficial signs of use that don't affect play. Only well cared for records will grade out to VG+. Will satisfy all but the most demanding collector.

VG : Very Good - a used, reasonable copy. There will be obvious signs of wear and the possibility of light surface noise between tracks or during quiet passages, but still quite nice.

VG- : Very Good Minus - significant wear and marks and usually quite noticeable surface noise.

G+ : Good Plus - In the record world, 'Good' is not good! From here on down (Fair, Poor), we're talking about beat-up records.
