This is a rare beautiful original pressing of the third album by the seminal British folk rock band, Fairport Convention, Unhalfbricking, released on A&M Records in 1969. The band featured Richard Thompson, Sandy Denny and Ian Matthews.

The LP visually is in beautiful near mint condition and plays very nicely. The original cover is in near mint condition. All corners are sharp. The spine and seams are very strong with no rub wear.The front and back covers are very clean. In grading I use Excellent instead of VG++ for those items deemed just a notch below near mint.

Please understand that opened play graded copies may have been graded several weeks before listing and may be available for sale for some time, so the LP must be cleaned again before play. LP's are cleaned manually as I no longer have machine, so matter may have settled in the grooves in the interim. Please do not claim LP is not as described if you play the LP without first cleaning the LP.

The LP will be shipped within 24 hours of payment, which is expected within 3 days of auction end, in specially made LP mailer with the LP separated from the cover (for unsealed items) and well packaged to protect the item from damage during shipment. Returns are accepted as long as LP is returned in the condition received. Sealed items will only be permitted if returned unopened.

Shipping cost is $4 per LP. To reduce shipping cost, I will combine shipping on multiple items bid and won during the same auction cycle. Please do not pay until I have had the opportunity to manually adjust the shipping cost. I cannot hold items for multiple auction cycles as it will affect my EBAY standing in so far as it concerns shipment time. I only accept bids from US based buyers and will only ship to the address recorded for the buyer on PAYPAL, which is the only method I can accept for payment.

Please keep in mind that I am a person looking to sell their collection and not a store or commercial seller. I play grade open items sold and do the best I can in the process to give an honest assessment of the item As is shown by my feedback I think I do a good job of satisfying most buyers. I leave feedback for all buyers and if you are satisfied with the transaction I would greatly appreciate positive feedback from the buyer as well. It does not take very long and is very important to me as seller. If for any reason you cannot leave positive feedback or are not satisfied, please have the courtesy of contacting me before leaving negative or neutral feedback. In almost all cases the issue can be worked out to the buyers satisfaction even if it means returning the item. If the item is not as described I will bear all shipping costs including return shipping. If a buyer behaves in a rude or unreasonable manner, and/ or fails to contact me to address issues they have with an item before negative or neutral feedback is left, I will block that buyer from further auction participation. I also reserve the right to block any buyer that leaves negative or neutral feedback when I have done everything possible to put the buyer in a position as if the transaction had not taken place.

Please also note that the one unfounded negative feedback I just received, the first in 7 years as a member, was from an unreasonable non US buyer, even though my ad states that my business is geared to US based buyers, and who did not contact me until 30 days after the item was delivered. Even after that I offered to take the item back although I was under no obligation to do so. The buyer demanded a more than 50% refund of the price paid. The feedback materially misrepresented the condition of the item sold. There was no long feel able mark just a non feel able scuff. I only heard minimal crackle mostly in dead areas and i am willing to bet the buyer never bothered to clean the record, a major problem it seems for new collectors.

I am auctioning almost 5000 records of my own collection, including rock. soul, blues and jazz, that are very clean and, included are some very rare items that rarely are available
