Richard Clapton "The Great Escape" Australian Press. 1982, WEA Records W/inner MINT COND

Since records are delicate items, I can imagine you might be concerned about the condition in which they will arrive in the post. While I can't do anything about the handling of the items I post once they are out of my hands, I can do everything in my power to package them securely.

Here is how I package each record for you:

Each album is packed in-between corrugated cardboard then plastic wrapped several times to minimise potential  damage during transport. Both sides of record are wiped with a microfibre cloth Record is wrapped and secure in its packaging Bundle is packed between 2 pieces of corrugated cardboard (thicker than a pizza box) and taped securely with packing tape Entire bundle is wrapped in high-tensile plastic wrap, and taped securely with packing tape and fragile printed tape Bundle is wrapped in high-tensile plastic wrap Packing label is taped securely to the outside of the package Package is lodged over the counter with Australia Post to activate tracking

I aim to put as much detail as possible in my listing which includes plenty of photos to help you make an informed decision. If there is something else you would like to know, please contact me & I will answer you as quickly as I can - usually within 12 hours. The Item is posted usually within 24 to 48 hours.

WE ARE HAPPY TO COMBINE POSTAGE FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS AND SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE DON’T HESITATE TO ASK.

White label

White label records are vinyl records with plain white labels attached. ... Test pressings, usually with test pressing written on the label, with catalogue number, artist and recording time or date, are the first vinyl discs made at the factory. I have recently sold one white label record (Lou Reed Live in Sydney 1978). I will list more white labels records. keep am eye out from time to time.

Promotional items, special editions, limited and numbered editions

In the vinyl market there are many items that were used for promotional purpose and never sold in the record shop. Record Labels gave those item to Radio or Press to promote a new single or album and these items are most of the time in a very limited number. The same goes for numbered editions or special editions, like picture discs or coloured vinyl that are usually printed in few copies.

I will be listing hundreds of records some very rare and some rare, a few common , mostly in excellent condition, some in good condition so please keep checking back!

Thanks for looking!!!!!
