PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question.   OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us.  Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week.   Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable.  We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback.   We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.   We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING:   USA ~ 1 LP = $4.00 Media Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.   All Canadian and Overseas shipping ~ Please inquire about rates.

SCARCE ORIGINAL FIRST PRESS DOUBLE ALBUM  ..|/\|...............................................|/\|..
THE V.I.P.'s
..|/\|...............................................|/\|.. AUSTRALIAN ~ FUNTONA - V-8500
.......................................................................................
Australian only DOUBLE LP FILLED WITH RARITIES! TOP FINAL COLLECTIBLE COPY!
The V.I.P.'s were a British beat band who despite their popularity and things to come for the main members, never recorded and album until this impressive gatefold deluxe DOUBLE ALBUM in attractive gatefold sleeve appeared around 20 or so years ago. Plenty scarce by today's standards, every once in awhile a copy such as this surfaces and remains decidedly an essential selection of all known tracks by the V.I.P.'s who were soon to rise within the '60s London Underground scene as ART, making the highly sought "Supernatural Fairy tale" the fame and fortune as SPOOKY TOOTH.

Side three highlights the V.I.P.'s live in the studio which is highly collectible and available nowhere else on vinyl. Side four finds essential rarities by Spooky Tooth.
