This is a nice copy of a rare record which will only increase in value with time.


All records are from an extensive private collection (in a non-smoking home).
I have been collecting records for over 40 years and go by the "Record Collector" grading system.
As I need to thin out my collection, I will be listing a lot of very rare and collectible records in the coming weeks / months so check back regularly or add me to your "favourite sellers" to get notifications.
All records have been extremely well looked after and played infrequently (if at all!) on a high quality turntable.
Covers have been protected in 400g polythene sleeves (and will be shipped in one).
Records are graded under a bright halogen lamp. As most serious record collectors know, this shows every detail, better than natural sunlight, so you can be confident that records will not be over-graded. Where any doubt exists, records are play tested with a high quality turntable/cartridge.

I will always attempt to mention any defects. However please zoom in on the photographs to have a clearer idea of the record and sleeve condition.
Returns will only be accepted in the unlikely event that the item is not as described/pictured.

Records will be carefully packaged in high quality custom mailers and marked "Fragile - Please Do Not Bend".
Records and inner sleeves will be packed outside the main cover to avoid ringwear damage in transit.
I sometimes re-use quality packaging materials to reduce costs and environmental impact.

Buy more than one item and save with combined postage. However, in this case, please wait for a combined invoice before making payment.
Two or three records can usually post for the same cost as one.
Please note: I will not profit on postage costs and do not add charges for packaging.

Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.
