RARE ROBERT MILES: Dreamland Original 1996 UK 11-track 1st press LP in EX++ COND Welcome to my listings.

To all overseas bidders Please read before bidding. I will not falsify any information when sending custom declarations. I will indicate the true value of any item that has been sold. It is the responsibility of the buyer to pay the correct custom duty on any winning item.
No exceptions will be made.
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.

ROBERT MILES: Dreamland Extremely Rare and now very hard to find Original 1996 UK 11-track 1st press double album, includes One & One, Children and Fable, hosed in a box style picture sleeve, plain black inners.

NOT PLAY GRADED: VISUAL GRADING ONLY
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 27 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 glossy box style cover shows just very light wear to the top and bottom edges plus spine. The box spine remains intact but just minimal creasing with the text remaining visibly clear and readable. The covers surface has minimal scuffing only with light creasing. All 4 corners have light wear and light creasing. There are no signs of any other forms of damage, the opening edge has remained clean with just the lightest of feathering. I have graded the cover in EXCELLENT++ condition.

THE BACK COVER: The back cover reflects the same condition as the front. I have graded the back cover again in EXCELLENT++ condition.

THE INNER SLEEVE: The Original black card inners are graded in EXCELLENT++ condition. With no defects.

THE VINYL: All sides of this double vinyl LP still retains all of its original lustre and sheen with no dulling and in daylight looks awesome. Even when placed under a 100w bulb there are only a few sleeve withdrawal hairlines. There are no deep scratches which can be seen or felt, there are light hairline marks to both sides when held under a strong light. I have graded the vinyl in
EXCELLENT++

Side 1 in EXCELLENT++ condition. Side 2 in EXCELLENT++ condition. Side 3 in EXCELLENT++ condition. Side 4 in EXCELLENT++ condition.

THE MATRIX NUMBERS:
SIDE 1 YEX 909-6 GDH SIDE 2 YEX 910-5 RPD SIDE 3 YEX 911-2 GTD SIDE 4 YEX 912-3 HHP

THE LABELS: The labels are in EXCELLENT++ condition and showing no spindle marks and wear around the central spindle hole.

To all overseas buyers. Severe delays to export items. Please read.
Royal Mail have suspended all overseas post so are unable to despatch export items to overseas destinations, so from 1900hrs on 12 January 2023 we will temporarily remove export service options. Please do not post international export items until further notice. Items which have already been handed over to Royal Mail may be subject to delays.
Due to this I will only post to any over seas destinations by Parcel Force.
So please contact me before you bid on this item so that I can give you a cost of postage.

I'm prepared to post multiple items but please wait until I send an invoice calculating what the postage cost will be to send the items.

I will not ship to Russia or Belarus or accept bids from either country. If there are any winning bids I will cancel the transaction and relist.


PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: 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.
TERMS & CONDITIONS

RETURNS
I fully guarantee that I have given the best description to any item I put onto Ebay for auction - these are used records which have been visually graded without play graded ( unless indicated ) as such I will not accept any returns because your not happy. I will not accept the return of visually graded records which are based upon the buyer's assessment of the record's play grade, I will not accept any returns under any condition.

Your bid is binding, so please make sure you have READ and UNDERSTAND my conditions before you bid.
I will not accept returns where the buyer has not read or not understood something which is stated/shown in the listing.
If an International buyer returns an item it’s very important that you mark return on the customs form because if you do not and I get a letter with a import charge on it I will not pay. This is a return and the LP will simply get sent back to you as Returned Goods are not charged for by UK Customs
Should you wish to return a LP as set out in Ebay policies the buyer is responsible for return postage, this means I pay one way, you the buyer will have to pay the other way.
RETURNS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED FOR INCOMPATIBILITY PROBLEMS.

All LPs won by International buyers will be sent International Signed For there are NO EXCEPTIONS to this, also if you are from Russia it seems items are taking 8-12 weeks to be delivered, I will post as soon as payment is received and will enter tracking on the order page for you to view, once that's done its down to the Russian postal service to deliver it. There is nothing more I can do. If your impatient and cannot wait without opening a dispute when you can clearly see its on its way to you on the tracking, then please by all means buy off another seller..

I reserve the right to post mulitple wins at the cost which the Royal Mail charges me. I will not make any
exceptions to this .
