* First UK mono pressing with the remixed "Tomorrow Never Knows".

I was made redundant during the pandemic, following which my partner and I were generously gifted her Dad’s vinyl collection to help raise some extra funds (he no longer owns a record player and has no use for them, having kept them in storage for a number of years). Many are early UK pressings of classic rock and Motown albums from the 60s, 70s and 80s - the records themselves are generally in excellent condition (sleeve conditions may vary), with some having evidently only been played a handful of times since purchase.

Check out my other items, as I'm selling more rock/indie/alternative vinyl from the 60s/70s/80s/90s/00s and am happy to combine postage for multiple purchases!

GRADING & CONDITION INFO – PLEASE READ IN FULL BEFORE BIDDING/PURCHASE!

I am a vinyl collector myself, so know how disappointing it can be when listings either aren’t accurate or the seller doesn’t take sufficient care with postage! I have therefore tried my best to list and show all defects, no matter how minor - for rarer and collectible items, I also tend to grade quite conservatively to err on the side of caution.

ALL RECORDS HAVE BEEN PLAYED THROUGH FROM START TO FINISH TO ASCERTAIN THEIR CONDITION PRIOR TO LISTING. While the grading of vinyl always retains a degree of subjectivity due to different people’s interpretations of the criteria, they have been graded to a standard that I would personally be happy receiving as a (quite fussy!) purchaser/collector. I use a (+) and (-) system to try and give a slightly more accurate grade where applicable.

Advisory grading is therefore as follows - 

VINYL (visual grade): VG+
VINYL (play quality): Ex (very light surface crackle in a handful of places – basically just general vinyl surface noise! Slightly more prominent in a couple of places on A7, but not intrusive. Small pop at end of B1. Small pop between tracks B6 & B7. Small surface mark on B6 (see photo 11) which doesn’t affect the play. Light crackle and a couple of light pops at the end of B7 - not intrusive. A few superficial surface scratches to inner labels which are only really visible in the light. Clean with no jumps on my turntable.)
SLEEVE: VG+ (light surface creasing and scuffing in a few places on edges and lips of cover. Small nick on top edge. Overall: very solid)
INNER: Ex- (light yellowing/discolouration from age)

* Please be aware that the play-quality of any vinyl record is always dependent on stylus sensitivity and the quality of the owner’s audio equipment, so it is impossible to be 100% accurate with grading veracity (my own home set-up is a fairly modest SoundLab turntable, Lepai mini-amp and 2 x Bose speakers). I have therefore done my best to flag any potential issues for the sake of transparency, but can obviously only grade records based on the sound coming from my own equipment!

Due to my personal circumstances, I cannot give refunds or accept returns (particularly if requests are based on subjective interpretations of grading criteria), so please ensure that you have read the item description in full before buying and are satisfied with this. 

All records are sold and dispatched as shown/described here. In the unlikely event that there is any problem with your item, please contact me before leaving feedback and I will do my best to resolve this in a way that’s fair to both buyer and seller. However, please note that I cannot be held responsible for any damage sustained in transmit when all reasonable precautions have been taken to ensure the item’s safety!
