Description
Selling-up my large record collection.
A nice, but not perfect, copy of this collectable album from 1999. I thought they were wonderful, when I saw them on Jools Holland's Later - so I bought the album, and went to see them at my local small music venue.
Pictures are my own photos of the items for sale. Photos are part of the description, have a good look.
Cover - outer cover is excellent generally, but has a bend / creases at the top of the opening. Original HMV shop sale sticker, top right of front. There are two custom inners (my third and fourth pictures), glossy, on light card - one being more painted pictures like the cover, the other having group pics and lyrics. These are both excellent, but have small bends with creases on one corner. I read that this album comes with an "art print", but I don't have that. You do / will get two concert tickets, and a little publicity leaflet thing, which may or may not have come with the record, maybe with their CD single, which I had. (see my fifth photo).
Records - these are generally excellent, but have some flaws. Side A - has lots of tiny marks in a group, on track 1 - perhaps grains of dust that have been driven into the surface by the stylus. Also a very light scratch across track 1. Not audible, at all, whole side plays excellently well. Side B - has just a surfacey mark / light impact on track 3. Side C - has four small impacts - at least one of these looks like it would be audible - on track 1. There's a light scuff across tracks 3 and 4, and a short scratch n track 4. And another scuff, partly light, partly heavier, on track 3 going into track 4. Side D (is one long track) - has a tiny speck in the vinyl, which is feelable, so there will be an audible click for just one or two rotations. Also a very small mark / stain. A short scratch near the end, mostly very light but heavier at the end of it. I've been doing a listening-test, of side A, and of side C - side C as there is the most visible damage on that side. Side C played without major problems, but some clicks on the quiet start of the side, and a little spell of quiet ones later on first track. Some more crackles on a quiet part around the end of track 4. Their tour-de-force "Floodlit World" plays just fine, a few light crackles at the very end, as it fades-down. A very enjoyable play-test to do, good to hear this again.
When I'm checking for damage on records, I look at them carefully with my reading glasses on, in good daylight. This method detects any bits of damage that will affect what you hear when listening to it - and lots that are not audible. Using a spotlight or direct sunlight shows more surfacey marks sometimes, but I don't do that - records are for listening to, not trying to see your face in.
Postage at cost within UK - £3.20 plus 50p for a proper record mailer with two stiffener sheets of cardboard (or whatever's appropriate). Happy to do combined postage wherever practical. I'll charge you what it costs me - so anything up to six (or so) LPs would still be the same charge, £3.70. One can send up to 2 kilos for £3.20. For UK buyers - if you buy several items on the same day, and you're looking for combined postage, don't pay, and message me to ask for an invoice that includes combined postage.
Dispatch will usually be "next day", if you pay promptly. My auctions end on Sundays, and I post on Monday afternoon. I only go out to post once a week, during lockdown, so if I receive payment after 14.00 Monday, parcel goes into the next Monday's posting. Collection in person is usually welcome, but not when there are lockdown rules in effect, which forbid it.
I'm happy to send this overseas. See below for details, if bidding from outside UK - YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS STUFF.
I don't mail things personally, to countries outside the UK - ( I mean it, don't ask) - but I am happy to use E-Bay UK's Global Shipping Program, for sending things abroad. Under this scheme, I send the parcel to an e-bay depot in UK, and they forward it to the overseas buyer. They have a tracked courier service, for the journey from their UK depot, to the buyer. This means that I can ONLY accept payments through e-bay (Pay Now button), and I can't send invoices.
Please be sure that you understand what the postal charges will be, before bidding.
E-Bay UK tells me, they do NOT do combined postage in the Global Shipping Programme. Charges to the customer for delivery and customs charges are whatever you're told they are - if you don't want to pay the postal / courier charges individually for the items, then do not bid. HOWEVER, if you win several items, and pay for them all in the same payment, their system may well spot this and do combined postage. If this happens, pay what you're told, and I will refund the excess postage paid to me - if you buy three LPs, I would be getting three lots of £3.70, but I can send all in one parcel, so I only need one lot of £3.70, usually. The exception is, if the items you buy weigh more than 2 kilos altogether, I need to make two parcels - there is a special cheap postage rate in UK, for parcels under 2 kilos.
Overseas customers - please DON'T request an invoice - I can't make one, and it screws-up the e-bay system.
International buyers should be able to see a postage cost to their country, you may have to input your location, if your country is included in the scheme. If your country is not mentioned, please do not bid. International postage to the following countries will be shown (this is the latest list that I've seen - lotta countries!) Australia Austria Belgium Bulgaria Canada Croatia Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark Finland France Germany Greece Hungary Ireland Israel Italy Japan Lithuania Luxembourg Malta Netherlands New Zealand Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Singapore, South Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand Turkey Norway Poland Portugal Romania Russia Slovakia Slovenia Spain Sweden, United States, Antigua & Barbuda Aruba Bangladesh Barbados Belize Bermuda Bolivia Brunei Darussalam Cambodia Cayman Islands Dominica Ecuador Egypt French Guiana Gibraltar Grenada Guadeloupe Guernsey Iceland Jersey Jordan Liechtenstein Macau Maldives Martinique Monaco Montserrat Nicaragua Oman Pakistan Paraguay Peru Reunion Saint Kitts & Nevis Saint Lucia Sri Lanka and Turks & Caicos Islands Applicable customs charges will probably be shown to buyers in non-EU countries - E-Bay collects customs duty for the receiving country, wherever import duty is appropriate. If you don't want to pay the customs charges, do not bid.
I don't send to China (because I prefer not to), and I also don't send to Japan, Brazil, Ecuador and Peru, as importation of vinyl records is not permitted in their customs regulations.
