  A SUPERB  VERY   HIGHLY SOUGHT   PATHE MARCONI CONTRACT PRESSING IN NO STEREO SLEEVE    

 FOR SOME REASON ( NOT JUST THE OIL CRISIS BUT THAT WAS CERTAINLY A BIG FACTOR ) THERE WAS A CAPACITY ISSUE AT EMI HAYES FACTORY DURING LATE 1973 & INTO 1974 & MUCH OF EMI'S BACK CATALOGUE WERE OUTSOURCED  - MOSTLY - BUT NOT ALL - TO FRANCE,  WHERE THESE DISCS WERE PRESSED THEN SENT BACK TO HAYES TO BE PLACED INTO U.K. SLEEVES. ALL OF THE U.K.'S BEATLES PRESSINGS WERE PRESSED IN FRANCE DURING THIS PERIOD AS WERE MANY OTHER LP'S INCLUDING DARK SIDE OF THE MOON & DEEP PURPLE'S MACHINE HEAD. SOME FLOYD & PURPLE LP'S ( AS WELL AS SOME OTHER ARTISTS ) WERE EVEN CONTRACT PRESSED IN THE U.S.A.

THESE FRENCH PRESSINGS ARE REKNOWNED FOR BEING OF MUCH HIGER QUALITY THAN THEIR U.K. COUNTERPARTS OF MID-70S & SO ARE HIGHLY PRIZED BY AUDIOPHILES

DOMESTIC UK RECORDED DELIVERY , INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE SEE MY NOTE BELOW.

DUE TO THE  DOUBLING FOR THE COST OF SENDING SMALL PACKETS I HAVE HAD TO RE-INTRODUCE A DOMESTIC UK POSTAL COST. IT STILL WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF THE POSTAGE BUT WILL LIMIT MY LOSSES. SORRY ABOUT THIS, PLEASE SEND YOUR THANKS FOR THIS TO ROYAL MAIL. IF I CAN FIND ALTERNATIVES I WILL 

ALSO DISCS ARE USUALLY GRADED ONLY VISUALLY DUE TO THE VARIANCES ON PLAYBACK BETWEEN SYSTEMS SO IF YOU ENCOUNTER A PROBLEM IN PLAYBACK PLEASE EMAIL ME FIRST UNLIKE THE RECENT LOVELY BUYER WHO JUST LEFT ME BACK FEEDBACK WITHOUT NOTICE NOT EVEN GIVING ME THE COMMON COURTESY OF  TRYING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM ( DETAILS CAN BE ACCE PLEASE NOTE THAT IN CASE OF ANY DISPUTES OVER GRADINGS I ALWAYS ACCEPT NO QUIBBLE REFUNDS UPON SAFE RETURN AND DEPENDING ON CIRCUMSTANCES USUALLY COVER THE RETURN POSTAGE TO SO IN CASE OF ANY PROBLEM CAN YOU PLEASE EMAIL ME FIRST BEFORE GOING THROUGH THE " ITEM NOT AS DESCRIBED " PROCEDURE. YOU WILL FIND THAT WITH ME THERE IS NOT LIKELY ANY NEED TO DO THAT AND EVERYTHING CAN BE RESOLVED BY A SIMPLE EMAIL EXPLAINING THE PROBLEM FIRST THANK YOU


  

(Please note that whilst I try to endeavour to adhere to strict RC gradings I will never describe ANYTHING AS MINT even when I think it to be so. As far as I am concerned any secondhand item by definition cannot be mint. However if I believe an item to be Mint  I will instead either use the terms Near Mint, mint minus, or in archive or vault condition. When I use these terms you know that in my opinion this is in effect a de-facto Mint grade )

 

Dont forget to take a look at my other items. Please feel free to contact me with any queries you may have.

                                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I ONLY DO A COUPLE OF RUNS A WEEK TO THE POST OFFICE BUT MY ITEMS ARE ALWAYS DISPATCHED WELL WITHIN ONE CALENDAR WEEK OF PAYMENT BEING RECEIVED. I APOLOGISE IN ADVANCE TO THOSE BUYERS WHO SEEM TO EXPECT THEIR ITEM TO ARRIVE THE NEXT DAY, IF YOU WANT TO CHECK WHEN AN ITEM WAS SENT JUST PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AND I WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO TELL YOU!! (SOME PEOPLE DO MAKE YOU LAUGH, FOR ITEMS I BUY I ONLY NORMALLY GET CONCERNED AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND EVEN AFTER THAT THEN ONLY POLIETELY ENQUIRE IF AND WHEN THE ITEM WAS SENT).

                                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PAYMENTS BY PAYPAL ARE PREFERRED BUT I ALSO ACCEPT OTHER METHODS. I ALSO POST WORLDWIDE (PLS APPLY FOR RATES) BUT DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH A DISREPUTABLE BUYER IN JAPAN (PIGGIESSS - I AM HAPPY TO NAME THEM) , FOR ALL PAYMENTS MADE VIA PAYPAL THE ITEM WILL ONLY BE SENT BOTH TO THE UK AND WORLDWIDE BY RECORDED OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR DELIVERY. THIS IS TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY ATTEMPT TO CLAIM BACK THE PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL EVEN AFTER ACTUALLY HAVING RECEIVED THE ITEM.

 

THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS HAD THE RESULT OF INCREASING MY COSTS FOR POSTING AND PACKING AND I AM VERY SORRY FOR THIS BUT PAYPAL OFFER NO PROTECTION FOR SELLERS UNLESS THERE IS PROOF OF DELIVERY!! PROOF OF POSTING WOULD SEEM INSUFFICIENT TO THEM AND I HAVE FOUND THIS OUT THE HARD WAY..

 

DUE TO THE BEHAVIOUR OF THIS SAME BUYER PAYPAL PAYMENTS WILL ALSO NOT BE ACCEPTED FROM BUYERS WHO DO NOT ALLOW THEIR FEEDBACK TO BE READ,
