This original UK (Parlophone PCS 7067), side opening, numbered (166918) stereo first press (matrix numbers YEX 709-1 / 710-1 / 711-1 / 712-2) with the inserts but no separator or black inner sleeves. The cover has slight edge / corner / ring wear and creasing, and overall rates a conservative VG+ (other people's VG++!). The albums have the odd non-sounding mark, including a few long ones, but look a conservative VG+ and play incredibly well. A brill 'player copy' that's priced accordingly.

Please note: All 45s will be shipped in original company sleeves, where available, or a brand new white paper sleeve.

If you can't pay within 4 days of the invoice issue, then please don't order as - unless I agree - if after 4 days of receiving your order I've heard nothing back from you, then your order will be cancelled on the 5th day and the items relisted - no exceptions. I only issue one 'official' payment reminder and if four days after my invoice, I still haven't heard anything back from you re payment / time-scale etc, then on the fifth day, the order will be cancelled as 'Non Paying Buyer' and the items re-listed. Negative Feedback will also be left. I'm happy to cancel orders / offers if the invoice stage hasn't been reached - but - if I've gotten as far as accepting yr offer / taking the item/s from my storage / issuing the invoice, then the order cannot be cancelled after it has gotten that far. This is my job and my time is money. PLEASE NOTE: Parcels are ALWAYS sent to the Ebay shipping address unless otherwise previously advised in the order notes / comms. NOT the Paypal address!!!
If paying by Paypal and your addresses don't match I will post to your Ebay address and NOT your Paypal one. If that's a problem make sure you specify the different address in your payment notes on Paypal or on Ebay. I am *strictly* mail order only NO COLLECTIONS - all orders MUST go in the mail or by courier - NO EXCEPTIONS I will also still accept Paypal but because of the ridiculous charges these thieves charge nowadays, I'd really rather get paid any other way if at all possible. Dbl vinyls count as an extra shipping increment/s so double LPs / 12"s / 7"s / CDs are all charged as extra increments. See my Shipping Table for more exact details.
