Note to watchers: The price is set at $250.00 USD. I am willing to negotiate to a reasonable degree (f.y.i 50% is not a reasonable offer). I do not have any plans to reduce the price now or in the future, so make an offer if you're interested in making a deal or buy it now before someone else snatches it up. Considering the average prices for complete 1st mono UK copies of this album, it is priced to sell for a fare rate.

Note to unpaying buyers and scammers: Unfortunately, I have had bad experiences in the past with non-paying buyers and scammers. It's a hassle for everyone so please don't buy or make an offer if you do not have adequate funds available e.g. your stimulus check has not arrived, you are waiting for your weekly allowance from your spouse, etc. If you are planning to make an offer you must have a minimum of five (5) feedbacks. Otherwise I will cancel your transaction and block you as a buyer. Due to the item's age, the possibility of scammers (swapping with counterfeits, intentional item defacement), and other reasons (e.g. buyer changes their mind, they can't afford it, wife doesn't like it, it doesn't fit their lifestyle, etc.) I will not accept returns, no exceptions. If you are on the fence on purchasing this item, please ask any and all questions before buying or making an offer, I will respond to all inquiries promptly. eBay's policy is 48 hours before a non-paying buyer case will be opened up, I will uphold that policy. Please have the appropriate funds available and pay promptly period! eBay is not a business for me nor is selling records. I am a music lover and seasoned record collector looking to share a few pieces of my collection and earn a few extra bucks to keep up with this hobby.

Grading Scale (Based on Goldmine Scale)

*All items are visually graded and play tested to check for imperfections. No items that grade less than VG-/G+ will be sold. I only sell things I would keep for myself. Item specifics are specified above, this is just a general list for reference.
