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. Here is volume one of Beatles Anthology - condition very good but not perfect. I have had the three volumes of this since around the time they were issued, UK copies.

Matrix numbers -

Side 1 8344461 A-2-1-1 (stamped), (first 2 after the B looks to be over-stamped over a "1") 143 (etched).

Side 2 8344461 B-1-1-1 (stamped), I can't see anything etched.

Side 3 8344471 A-04-01-1 (stamped), 263 (etched)

Side 4 8344471 B-03-01-2 (stamped), 376 (etched)

Side 5 8362341 A-1-1-1 (stamped), 180 (etched)

Side 6 8362341 B-2-1-2 (first 2 after the B looks to be over-stamped over something different, may well be a "1".) 323  (etched)

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

Cover - Triple gatefold. Colour looks faded, but that's the way they were printed. There is a small tear (less than an inch) next to the  bottom of the inner of the two spines. There are bumps to some corners and edges, a couple of bits of scoring, and some creases in from edges. Back has a slight bend, at top right, and scallop creases where one gets the records out, inside the gatefold.  Still good in a general sort of way! Has its original 3 plain white poly-lined inners.

Records - Generally excellent. I have had a careful look at these. No problems on side one, side four or side six. On side two I saw a tiny speck or impact on track 7 - whatever this is, it is not "feelable". On side three, there's a short streaky mark - maybe a fingernail mark - on track 7. On side five, there is a tiny lightest-kind-of scratch on track 4. A little dust to brush off before playing. 

I have been collecting records for 50 years (when finances allowed!), and now it's time to sell-up. I bought them mostly around local shops (second-hand), but sometimes from e-bay, and sometimes new, for my favourite bands. Note that I'm in UK, so records are UK issue, unless I say different.

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. You need to know this stuff.

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.

E-Bay UK tells me, they do NOT do combined postage in the Global Shipping Programme. Charges to the customer for delivery are whatever you're told they are - if you don't want to pay the postal / courier charges, then do not bid.

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.
