PLEASE SEE POSTAGE FEES FIRST BEFORE BIDDING AS EBAY WON'T LET ME CHANGE THEM! All my auctions will start at £0,99 with NO reserve, so grab a bargain. My seller feedback is 100% positive, so you can bid with confidence. Grading a record is always very hard, as everyone got their own grading system. I always check my records under a critical light so there won’t be any surprises (many sellers don’t do this), so I will see even the lightest hairlines and sleeve removal lines which you won’t see in normal room light. I’m a collector myself, so I do my best to be honest with my grading. Please see my grading system in the bottom of this page. Thanks for reading everything and happy bidding!!!

What I have for sale here is:


Artist: L’uovo Di Colombo

Title: L’uovo Di Colombo

Label: Emi Columbia Records

Cat#: 3C 064-17889

Made in: Italy (1973)


Description: Very rare first and only album by L'uovo di Colombo, issued in Italy in 1973 on EMI Columbia label. This album don’t need any introductions as this one is one of the best progressive rock album coming from Italy…


Condition: EX+/EX (Record/Cover)

Played maybe once from new. Labels don’t show any signs around the center hole, only issue is that previous owner has written A and B on the labels. Record shows only few harmless faint hairlines on B-side. Laminated gatefold cover is also in great shape, only ‘issue’ is the tape removal line on the back cover (see last picture), which have lifted the lamination a bit...



Postage and packaging:

I live in Finland so postage fees are much higher than UK based sellers have, so PLEASE don't give me low stars because of this issue. Thanks! Here are the prices:


1-4 Singles (7") = £4 (Priority) to Europe.

1-4 Singles (7") = £10 (Priority) to rest of the world.


1-4 records (12") = £25 (Recorded) to Europe.

1-4 records (12") = £40 (Recorded) to rest of the world.


Grading (Record):

This is my grading system. I’m very strict when grading a record. Mostly my VG+ grade is most sellers EX. Also, I don’t use VG+++ or EX+++++ like some sellers do…


NM (NEAR MINT)

This is highest grade that I will assign to opened, handled records. The vinyl is virtually flawless, bright and shiny. A very minor, barely visible scuff or two may be permitted, but no scratches. The disc should play with no audible noise. The label is bright, clean and unmarked.


EX (EXCELLENT)

Disc plays near perfectly, but may have minor paper scuffs that do not interfere with the sound quality. There can possibly be a few hairline scratches but nothing that is obvious or affects play. Vinyl is bright and shiny; label is clean and unmarked.


VG+ (VERY GOOD+)

Some visible surface wear, very minor scratches and scuffs, but minimal impact on the sound quality. Might have a light click or two, but NO skips or jumps. Vinyl will still have good luster; labels may have minor imperfections but otherwise clean.


Grading (Cover):


NM (NEAR MINT)

Very minor signs of wear or cover impressions. Artwork is as close to perfection as possible.


EX (EXCELLENT)

Minor disc impression or slight corner creases, no wrinkles, puckers, seam splits or writing on the cover. Artwork is clean and unworn and there is no ink wear.


VG+ (VERY GOOD+)

Cover is clean but may have minor writing or marks and may show slight wear. There may be just the start of ring wear, where the disc has created a raised area on the cover that resulted in the ink wearing off the paper. There may be slight discoloration or staining, minor seam wear, but no splits or tears. Corners may have small creases or fraying.


Payment by Paypal or bank transfer (IBAN).
