Helen Shapiro - You've Guessed/ Take Me For Awhile
(Pye Records 7N 17785 UK 7" 1969)
This is the original UK 7" single pressing in very nice condition! The record has pale blue "Pye" labels which have a 4 pronged centre. It has 1st press A-1/ B-1 matrix stampers. It comes complete with its original Pye company paper sleeve.
The A-side is a late 1960's UK Female Pop/ Ska track. The B-side has a Northern Soul/ Mod Dancer feel to it. Please check it out on Youtube if you are unfamiliar with the track. This is one of her rarest UK releases. It seldom turns up. I have some other 1960's Helen Shapiro/ Northern Soul 7" singles for sale. Please see my other listings.
Vinyl: There are a few light, very mild or very minor sleeve rubs which can hardly be seen under a strong light. The paper sleeve, over time, has left some light, very mild or very minor dull surface marks on a very few areas. These, again, can hardly be seen under a strong light. There is a finger tip sized area of mild sleeve rubs, or surface rub marks, on the A-side. Overall, NEAR EXCELLENT condition. The labels are in Excellent+ condition and show light or very mild spindle wear only. The company paper sleeve is in Very Good+ condition. It shows some light, mild or very mild ringwear & creasing. There are no seam splits.
I have play tested this single in its entirety & it plays Excellent to Excellent+ overall. There are a couple of minor clicks at the very start of the B-side. Overall, An excellent audio copy!
Traceable insurance is already included in the stated P&P price for this listing.
Discount is given on P&P for multiple purchases. I shall always weigh combined purchases to get a completely accurate price. So please wait for the invoice to be sent before paying. Please see below for a more detailed description.
AN INVOICE WILL BE SENT TO YOU VERY SOON AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS. PLEASE WAIT FOR THIS BEFORE PAYING.
Royal Mail have very recently increased their postage rates. So I have revised my postage costs to reflect their increases. (Please note that these prices include packaging costs too)
Double LPs are classed as two LPs. Also posters, inserts, etc.. can increase postage costs. One parcel must not exceed 2kg (approximately 4-6 LPS).
All records will be sent in high quality vinyl mailers with at least two card stiffeners either side of the LP or 7" Single. I use a cruciform box for larger orders (3-6 LPs). All parcels will be marked "Fragile" and dispatch time will generally be between 1-3 days after payment.
I will also remove the vinyl from the sleeve & place them in a re-sealable polythene sleeve. In order to prevent seam splits. Depending on the inner sleeve; I often remove the vinyl from the inner sleeve & place it in a separate plain paper, or polythene-lined, plain inner sleeve. I am very conscientious and careful when packaging your LP(s).
I consider my postage & packaging costs to be very transparent & very fair. Packaging costs will generally be between £0.80 to £1.50. I am not adding any further costs for handling, etc...
If you are uncertain about any of the above, or just simply want some information regarding any item, please do not hesitate to contact me. I welcome any question.
Remember to check out Lots of rare & quality vinyl! Most are UK 1st Pressings. It is quite likely that there will be more records by this artist, or records in a similar vein.
