Hello and Welcome to my latest auction.Currently weeding things out from My collection.Lots good stuff so look carefully

The Deviants-S/T(1969 UK Transatlantic White label Test Pressing)

Their third and their rarest,not only is it a white lable test Pressing,it was also previously owned by Paul Ruloph.For the story on this,please read below:

Paul as most people know was born in Vancouver,BC and moved to England in 1968 to join the Deviants,of course the Deviants minus Farren went on to become the Pink Fairies.Paul returned to Vancouver in 1982 before moving here to my hometown Winnipeg in 1986.I became aware of Paul's presence in 1991 through a friend of mine who knew him and Paul was working in a bicycle shop at that point.I went to there to meet him and after that made a point of visiting him there as often as I could,A very nice person.A year later,paul sold some of his records to a used record store that I still frequent to this day and my aforementioned friend who made me aware of paul worked at the shop.I came in one day and saw this and asked if this was Paul's personal copy to which my friend replied yes and bought it immediatley and have owned it ever since.After much debate and reluctance I have decided to let it go

It is not in its original cover and sadly it is not in very good condition but considering the rarity and history of this record I am sure it will find a good home. SEE GRADING BELOW FOR COMPLETE DETAILS:

CONDITION OF COVER:EXCELLENT(This is a Glossy Die cut black cover and not the original.It came in an plain white sleeve with Pauls Record written in pen on the cover,unfortunatley the record store owners hindsight was not with him that day and threw the original white cover away as it was in poor condition

CONDITION OF VINYL:FAIR(the only thing that keeps this from being poor is there are no deep marks or gouges but there are alot of light hairlines,light scuffs and grooveware that constitutes this garde and while it is still listenable it plays between Fair/Good.Both sides have white lables with a series of light red lines going through on side to the other on both labels.On the first side the words "Not For Sale-Demenstration only are written in pen on the top center of the label and on the bottom is the band name in the exact same writing.Whether this is Pauls writing,I cannot confirm as Paul no longer lives in Winnipeg

So their you have it ,a rare piece of history.Low start price because of condition

THE SOAP BOX(YES,I'M AFRAID SO):
BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER,PLEASE READ THIS FIRST:

Over the last year I have had a number of problems with Bidders/Buyers that have gotten increasingly annoying and feel the need to express them here:

(1).POSTAGE RATES:Now that Ebay have introduced a new rule that you have to list postage rates for The US,UK and Austrailia,There should be no more confusion as to what the postage cost are to your country unlike previously as I was only allowed to post one fixed rate worldwide and it caused problems.In any case they are all listed in my description so you can refer to that as well

(2).SURFACE POST OVERSEAS:From now on,Surface Post Overseas will now only be available on request which means that if you want your item shipped by this method,you have to ask.I am sorry that this has become necessary but over the last year I have had several problems with buyers who pay to have their items shipped by this method without taking into account that it can take up to 8 weeks to arrive,even after informing them in their invoices before completing the transaction and then they start complaining that they have not recieved their items after two weeks.So if you want Surface you must ask and i will give you a qoute under the understanding that you realise it will take 8-12 weeks to arrive by this method.Personally I recommend Airmail as it is both quicker and safer

(3).I will no longer relist items that have not sold the first time as this has become too costly.The only exception will be if a bidder fails to complete his transaction,otherwise from here on in items get listed once only

(4).I Do not end auctions early so please dont ask.I dont condone this practice and I think that it is unfair to other people who have place bids on an item they are anxious to own and feel one bidder should have as much chance as the next when bidding on my items

(5).POSTAGE RATES OVERSEAS:Several people overseas have complained about the price of my Air Postage thinking that it is too high.Yes.I know it is expensive but this is what it cost me to ship from my part of Canada to your part of the world as the rates vary across the country depending on which part of Canada you are sending from.Even within Canada the Rates Vary when shipping from one part of Canada to another so this is why the prices are what they are.I make no money from this and quite often,I have lost money on postage so please take note of this

(6)NON PAYING BIDDERS:Most of you are very prompt and effecient when it comes to paying but on the odd occasion I get a deadbeat that not only makes it frustrating for me but for other people who want the same records so please pay in a timely manner.Once again,I apologise for dragging you through all this but something had to be said
