Hello eBayers and welcome to another quality auction.

***Please read all the text contained below as there is important information about any transaction. Sorry about the moany bits, but some buyers seem to want to ruin it for others. Thanks.***

The item:

There are surface marks and visible scratches.  There are minor pops and clicks but despite the surface marks and scratches, this mono record sounds truly amazing!

KT tax stamp on side 2

A - XEX 447 1N

B - XEX 448 1N

Postage can be upgraded if the item sells for more than £20.

Therefore the item has been graded as VG/VG (Vinyl/Cover - See gradings at the bottom of this description).

If you would like more detailed photo's of the vinyl condition, please contact me and I will send them.

The record plays through without any skips or jumps, on my equipment. The record and sleeve may benefit from a professional clean, although I try to clean them up as best I can when I get them.

Please study the pictures closely as they are photographs of the exact item you will receive and please ask any questions BEFORE bidding.

Sound bytes of the actual record can be emailed by request (please allow at least 3 days).

All records have been play tested on a Pro-tech deck with red ortofon cartridge with 0.5 - 1g of pressure but may not have been tested all the way through in their entirety.

These records are from my personal collection and have either been replaced or are no longer required and as such they have all been stored in plastic sleeves since I've had them and in an upright position.

***Please remember that some of these records are between 20-60 years old and as such will not be in shop bought condition! Some buyers out there are expecting a little too much when I have tried to grade my vinyl as accurately as possible. Sometimes, rarely, I get it wrong and I will always rectify any mistakes but the options to ask questions etc. are all there BEFORE the transaction takes place.

Record will be sent securely in a proper mailer with at least one stiffener. Inner sleeves will be removed from outer sleeves and packaged as I would expect to receive a record.

Please bid and buy with confidence.

There is a no quibble returns policy but the buyer will pay for all postal returns (non-refundable).  I catalogue and photograph all my records for my own security.

***If you are unhappy with the record, then you are welcomed to return it to me for a full refund but this will have to be at your own expense (return postage non-refundable).  I will refund you gladly, but I need to have the item back.   I will always ask eBay to step in and resolve any disputes, but I am a friendly seller with great feedback.***

***International buyers - the postage cost is the postage cost, that's it! You have to pay this! It may seem high, but this is because of some international buyers who like to claim they have never received their items forcing me to issue a refund. All international packages will be sent tracked, for our combined assurance.***

Postage cost is for 2nd class recorded delivery. This is non-negotiable other than upgrade, at buyers cost. Some buyers like to claim they never received the item so ALL items are sent recorded for my security as well as your item's.

I will combine postage for multiple wins and if you're happy to have 3 records sent in the same mailer, with no stiffeners, then the postage will remain the same, second class recorded, for all 3 together!  I do not believe in ripping off my buyers with inflated postal charges. If you are not happy with this then you MUST TELL ME when the auction has ended and BEFORE you pay!

Grading Guide:

"MINT: (M/NM/M-) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

VERY GOOD: (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: (G) The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

FAIR: (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.

POOR: (P) The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."
