YES: Time and a Word late 1970s UK green & orange label issue 8 track LP Welcome to my listings.

Before you place a bid would you / could you take the time to please read my listing including the Terms & Conditions.
Terms & Conditions you will find below at the bottom of my listing and unless I have mis-written them I believe they are quite clear. If they are not or you wish to clarify anything then please message/email me before bidding.

If you just want to skip to the details about this item, see the descriptive text below and check out the photos in the listing by enlarging and scrolling through.

All the LP's that are listed have been cleaned by The Audio Desk Systeme Vinyl Pro Cleaner which incorporates an ultrasonic cleaning cycle to a more conventional mechanical cleaning via bi-directional rotating micro fiber cleaning drums, the result is the cleanest LP's ever. Unlike other record cleaners the ultrasonic Vinyl Cleaner bursts millions of microscopic bubbles off the surface of the record all the way to the bottom of the groove, where no fibre is fine enough to reach. Among vinyl cleaners the Audio Desk System Vinyl Cleaner is unique in using filtered air for drying, rather than one of the static-inducing suction systems employed by other vinyl cleaning products.

All items are packed and dispatched in heavy duty LP mailers with cardboard reinforcements. I use heavy duty packaging tape. I always separate the LP from the sleeve and any inner sleeves that are part of the LP. This stops any damage to the item while in transit.

If you are from outside the UK and have won more than one record please request an invoice from me with combined postage prior to checkout.

US bidders please be aware that your US POST has increased its postal charges. The cost to send items to you by International Tracked is £19.23.
International Tracked and signed is £21.23.

YES: Time And A Word Scarce and hard to find late 1970s UK green & orange label issue of the 1970 8-track LP, with the Warner trademark logo at the end of the perimeter label print, and clearly states 'Made In The UK' , picture sleeve with lyric insert. K40085

NOT PLAY GRADED: Please note that this is a used item and there is always isolated static, ticks, light pops that maybe or can be heard, even in the quieter places during the play of any vinyl. There will be elements of surface noise. More noise than others. Please remember that this is an original 42 year old vinyl. A habit of cleaning the vinyl with a carbon brush before each play will reduce any static. If possible you should have the LP professionally cleaned periodically.

I cannot guarantee exactly how this LP will sound on your turntable/system - Cartridge and stylus profile, tracking weight, Arm VTA, arm type all go to make a difference to the sound of an LP.

THE COVER: The semi glossy cover shows light wear to the top and bottom edges and spine, the spine has creasing and a small indent near the bottom left corner. The spine text remains clear and readable. The opening edge is crisp and sharp with no fethering. The covers surface has very light storage scuffing and sticker damage to the surface under the Atlantic logo otherwise there are no signs of any other forms of damage.
I have graded the cover in VERY GOOD condition.

THE BACK COVER: The semi gloss back cover mirrors the front in quality, no other signs of any damage are visible. I have graded the back cover again in VERY GOOD condition.

THE INNER SLEEVE: Plain White Inner

THE VINYL: Both sides of this vinyl LP show a deep glossy shine. There are no deep scratches which can be felt or seen, there are only minimal hairline marks to both sides when held under a strong light. I have graded the both vinyl in EXCELLENT condition.
Side 1 in EXCELLENT condition. Side 2 in EXCELLENT condition.

THE LABELS: The labels are in EXCELLENT condition and showing very light spindle marks or wear around the central spindle hole. The LP appears to be hardly played in its 42 years

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
GRADING: I only grade in line with UK Record Collector grading system as set out in the Record Collector Price Guide book, and do not use USA Goldmine grading system. The only difference I make against the Record Collector grading system is I grade a record Mint if its sealed, I do not believe a record to be mint if not sealed. My highest grade for an opened LP is near mint.
I grade under a strong light that picks out any imperfections on the vinyl.

If for any reason you disagree with my grading or reasoning then please email me through the ebay message system and lets resolve the matter as adults before leaving negative feedback. Everybody on here believes they are an expert well we are not, we are human and can sometimes get things wrong. If I have got it so wrong I will work with you to resolve it. I can not be any fairer than that, but please check my feedback you will see I do not get it wrong that often, I try very hard to give an accurate description, apart from the one member who left negative because I would not be subjected to feedback hostaging.
Please note all International buyers you are responsible for any custom charges incurred.
