View enlarged images below Information:The cover on this great 1985 box set is simple but effective. A grainy looking black and white shot of Bob with all of the songs listed on the front. Each of the 10 LPs have deluxe full printed labels, and come in deluxe anti-static sleeves
The Label is Tarantula. The folks behind the Label were the best in the business. They released only the highest quality pieces in fantastic major label quality covers. One trick to spotting their work is by the name of the Label. The name of the Label was different for each artist they released, and had some tie-in with the artist that usually only a hard-core fan would recognize (i.e. Tarantula)
All albums are pressed on high quality vinyl, and have full printed labels. All recordings are the best that were known to exist.
Mistakes:
The set came with a that commented on the recordings. The book has many errors. Not only grammatical, but historical as well. It is reproduced, none the less, exactly as written. All information as to venue, dates, etc is taken from the book. This information is accurate as to the package, but for true historical dates and venues, another source should be consulted. One good source is the

Title: TEN OF SWORDS.
Record Label/Company: TARANTULA.
Catalogue Number: AS STATED BY BOBS BOOTS ABOVE.
Description Of Item For Sale: This increadible 10 LP set was released in 1985, I have read somewhere, specifically planned to coincide with the Biograph Box set, to show them how it should really be done.10 records, 20 sides, all superb quality, over 8 hours of Music.This has long been the Jewel in my collection. POSTAGE RESTRICTIONS: I will have to pack and weigh this tonight just after I type the listing and before I post.I need to try to keep weight below 2 kilos so I can offer it abroad.As I do not know the final value of the record, I will detail the best postal options possible, any adjustments needed if extra cover is required we may need to sort out at invoice time.I won't be able to combine this one with any other items,sorry.
Vinyl: Excellent+ to NEAR MINT. There are no deep scratches anywhere.There are some very light paper marks, but not many.If I had taken time to use an antistatic cloth on there records, I am sure they would be mainly graded at Near Mint, but there is a small amount of static dust, and not having time to play grade properly, I will simply say, Ex+ to Near Mint, these really are stunning.Labels are Near Mint, All inner sleeves are original with Polylined inner bags in super clean condition.
Sleeve: BOX NOT SLEEVE. I have taken detailed pictures because although all words are nice and crisp, there are no splits on the lower box, but the top has split on all corners, and in the past sellotape has been used to repair, which has since fallen off.It's still a respectable box set.
Extra Items: Booklet. Near Mint.
COMBINED POSTAGE. I am sorry, ?I won't be offering combined postage choice for this along with other items, I am not able to, it's too heavy.These records/this box set will not be packed before I complete this listing, I will use postage estimator on Ebay to find the best deals for postage, based on an expected maximum value of £300.
CONDITION:
All Items are Graded As In The Record Collector 2006 Price Guide,in Brief these grades are as follows:
Mint-Unplayed,sealed or as good as an unplayed undamaged item,.
Excellent-Some signs the record has been played,very little lessening in sound quality.The cover and packaging may have slight wear and/or creasing.
Very Good-Been Played many times,no major deterioration in sound,despite noticeable surface marks,occational light scratch.Normal wear & tear on the cover or extra items,without major defect is acceptable.
Good-Played so much,used so much,sounds bad,many problems such as splits,stains etc.
Fair-Just Playable-not nice.
TRACKS ARE: Probably available on Google.Also if I have made scans of labels or sleeve,click to supersize,and read them that way.

POSTAGE & PACKING:
I don't use Postage to make money.I try and weigh the parcels before I list the items and add packing cost to the postage cost.Sometimes I can't weigh 1st(Usually if I have to make a home-made parcel for odd sized items)and if I do that,I will make my best educated guess of the postage cost,but I don't often pack home made parcels before the bidding ends,because many people want to ask questions,so sometimes,I could be a little out.I do pack in secure parcels.
Ways To Pay:
Cheque,Postal Order,Cash On Collection.Postage cost will not be needed for collection,package will be charged for only if you need it,which you should not need if you collect yourself.Paypal is available as I have to offer it,although I personally would rather avoid it,I have to allow it.I despatch very quickly so don't worry,you'll soon get your goods if you are quick to pay.
Europe & Worldwide:
PAYPAL.Sorry I am not allowed to offer International Money orders any more,I like them,but Ebay don't.
FEEDBACK:
Although you are not obliged to leave feedback,I hope you do.If you get a record and are happy,please leave feedback so I know it has arrived,and that you are happy,then I can leave yours and erase the sale from my Email and Ebay page.If you are not happy,please ask for a refund.Many buyers don't leave feedback and it annoys me,so,If after a long time I get no feedback,I will leave your positive feedback assuming that you payed,then I will add you to my blocked bidder list.Harsh maybe,but Feedback is how Ebay works,I see no need to be so lazy,it is only good manners.
