THIS WEEK I AM AUCTIONING A NUMBER OF VERY RARE WHITE LABEL PROMO RECORDS - CHECK OUT MY OTHER ITEMS FOR SALE. MANY OF THESE HAVE NEVER BEEN FOR SALE ON EBAY! IN THE NEAR FUTURE I WILL ALSO BE AUCTIONING SOME RARE TEST PRESSINGS AND ACETATES SO KEEP CHECKING BACK.
This is a very rare white label promo LP of Artificial Intelligence by John Cale. The labels are actually cream coloured. The B side label is blank, while the A side label has 'Cale LP Artificial Intelligence (First Cut)' handwritten on it.
This is different to another test pressing that I previously had of this which has matrix numbers A2 and B2. As the label says that this is the 'first cut', this may be a different mix to the released version.
Matrix numbers are: Side 1 - BEGA 68-A1 POUNDA TA1PE DAMONT Side 2 - BEGA 68-B1 DAMONT
If you would like any further photos or information then please feel free to get in touch.

Record Grading System

 

 

MINT The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised, as Sealed or Unplayed will be mint.

EXCELLENT The record shows some signs of having been played, possibly with light surface marks but there will be very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

POOR The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.   

 

I will discount postage for bulk purchases - see below. All LPs are sent out in custom-made LP sized cardboard envelopes along with a cardboard stiffener.

 

I try to keep my postage prices as low as possible, but please take note that Ebay take a 10% cut of the postage you pay, so I only get 90% of the costs you pay - and this has to pay for good quality packaging too!

FEEDBACK - I will normally leave feedback for you after you have left feedback for me. I need to know that the transaction has been completed successfully and to your satisfaction before leaving feedback. Hope you don't mind this, but there are loads of buyers who don?t bother to leave feedback!

 

REFUND TERMS. Sorry to be so formal about this, but I have had some buyers who have tried to take advantage of me, so please read these carefully. If you buy an item from me you are confirming that you have read these terms and accepted them.

 

·         If you are unhappy with the item because you feel that I have made an error or given a misleading description in the listing (and we both agree on this point) then I will provide you with a full refund of the transaction price ie your winning bid for the goods, plus the price you paid for postage. If this happens, I will use my discretion as to whether you need to return the item to me. If I ask you to return it, you must return the item in the original packaging that it came in and I will refund you for the cost of sending it by 2nd class post. When I have safely received the item (and it must still be in the condition that it was when it was originally sent to you) I will issue the refund. You must agree to cancel the transaction with Ebay.

·         If the item arrives damaged and beyond repair I will give a full refund of the transaction price ie your winning bid for the goods, plus the price you paid for postage, upon receipt of proof of damage eg a photo. In these circumstances I will use my discretion as to whether you need to return the item to me. If I ask you to return it, you must return the item in the original packaging that it came in and I will refund you for the cost of sending it by 2nd class post. You must agree to cancel the transaction with Ebay.

·         If you decide that you don't want the item for any other reason then I will refund the price you paid for the item, but not the postage cost you paid. Buyer to return the item to me at their own expense. When I have safely received the item (and it must still be in the condition that it was when it was originally sent to you) I will issue the refund. You must agree to cancel the transaction with Ebay.
