 THE MONKS 'BAD HABITS' 1979 STEREO LP.

Power Pop/New Wave LP from former members of The Strawbs. 

 

Pressed in Canada and released on Harvest ST 6470.

 

Play grades as EX+.

 

On both sides all musical & vocal passages play clearly & brightly.

 

There are no sticks, jumps or skips and no evidence of any groove wear at all.  There is a little quiet, very brief dust noise in just a couple of places on side 2.

 

When tilted under normal lighting both sides appear to be unmarked.

 

When tilted under halogen lights both sides have just one or two short, faint marks visible.

 

Sleeve grades as VG.


Has a 4cm. patch of wear at the top of the spine & a little light bottom edge wear.

 

Plain white inner sleeve grades as EX.


I USE RECORD COLLECTOR GRADINGS AND USE A +/- WHERE I FEEL THAT IT'S APPROPRIATE.


See photos.


I combine items to reduce p&p cost so if you purchase more than one item please wait for my invoice before making payment.


Please be aware that all orders totalling over £20 will have to be shipped by signed for/tracked mail, which adds £1 to the price for UK shipping & £4.50 to the price for European & World shipping.


 

ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK.

 

I dispatch records in brand new, bought in mailers designed for the process. Before placing in the mailer I take LPs out of the sleeve place both in a polysleeve and between two card stiffeners and if there is a picture sleeve I place the LP in a plain sleeve to prevent knifing of the picture sleeve. [all this costs £0.80/single LP].

 

I normally ship within 1/2 working days of receipt of payment.

 

All items are shipped using Royal Mail and I always obtain proof of posting for items. 

 

You will receive a confirmation e-mail from me on the day that the item is shipped.

 

United Kingdom shipments should arrive in 2-5 business days from date of shipping.

 

For International buyers, shipping is by air mail and shipments should arrive in 5- 10 business days from date of shipping.

 

Delivery times are approximate, they are in business days after the item is shipped. Also please be aware, especially for International shipping, that circumstances beyond my control after shipping can cause delays.

 

International Buyers are responsible for Import/Custom duties/fees wherever applicable.

 

 

 I COMBINE ITEMS TO SAVE ON SHIPPING COSTS.
