Selling-up my extensive record collection. Lots of interesting LPs in the collection - do have a look at my other items, and there are new listings every week.

Pictures are my own photos of the items for sale. Photos are part of the description, have a good look.

This album comes from the estate of someone who took really good care of his records. This is not the very rare "short version of Tell Me" version of this LP, but is the one immediately after - I have pictured the matrix numbers, side one of record, and tracklist. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Matrices XARL-6271-1A and XARL-6272-4A.

Cover - front-laminated, no flipbacks. Front - is very good, shaped to the record, ring-wear has just taken the shine off the lamination. 3 scallop creases, some cracks in from edges. There's a crease in the lamination near top towards the right hand side, and beginning of a bend at bottom of spine, and a cut in the lamination near the spine, bottom half of cover. A name, Charlie, written on Brian Jones's sleeve. Lamination still nice and shiny. Edges and spine excellent, only tiny bumps at opening, small wear at top and bottom of opening. Tiny wear at top and bottom of spine.Back shows light grubbiness in a part circle corresponding to edge of the record, and along top and bottom corresponding to the internal flipbacks. A few tiny stains. Very good. A very nice Decca Mono red printed inner, poly lined, poly separating from paper a bit on one side.

By my normal careful methods for visually inspecting records, I couldn't see ANY damage on this. I just played most of side 2, and it plays as good as it looks - excellent. It has only a few spindle marks on the label, which suggests it has not been played often.

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 - £2.95. Happy to do combined postage wherever practical.

I'm happy to send this overseas, see below for details, if bidding from outside UK.


Dispatch will usually be "next day".

Collection in person is welcome.


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. Combined postage may or may not be possible through the Program - if e-bay shows combined postage for their courier job, I'll do combined postage for the transit inside UK. I can't see information about this until you pay.

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

International postage plus applicable customs charges will probably be shown to buyers in the following non-EU countries - E-Bay collects customs duty for the receiving country: Australia, Brazil, Canada, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, Russia and USA, and wherever else import duty is appropriate - e.g. Norway.

I WILL DEFINITELY NOT post to countries that are not included in the above lists, and I don't send to China.
