Further Information/Comments

This copy is  one of the best I've seen in 30 years of collecting and dealing. The cover is crisp and unmarked, with  very very minor handling creases in the clairfoil. The vinyl looks unplayed and has the original just pressed sheen and the labels are perfect with a few very very minor spindle marks.

The grading standard used is the UK Record Collector magazine gradings as described below 

Mint: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.



Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.



Very Good: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

If you purchase more than one item it will work out a lot cheaper on the postage if I send them in the same mailer. Please await receiving the invoice from me on the completion of the auction before paying, so that I can identify the cheapest secure method of sending the records, ensuring that you do not overpay.

All items are securely packaged and sent via a trackable method. 

Sorry, but I do not send packages to Central & South America, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania and Africa  due to high fraud rates.
Payment is preferred via PAYPAL, but I will also accept payment from UK based buyers via cheque or postal orders, but if you chose to pay via these, you items will not be despatched until after 5 working days when the payment has cleared. All records are sent securely packaged in purpose made mailers with at least 2 cardboard stiffeners, clearly marked fragile. I always remove the record from the outer sleeve (to avoid seam split whilst in transit) and then insert the record and sleeve into a brand new polythene sleeve. I only post items as per Ebay and Paypal terms & conditions, which require that items are sent by a method that is trackable. UK packages are sent 2nd class recorded, as there appears to be only a minor difference in delivery times between 1st & 2nd class which the additional charge does not seem to warrant. I enter the tracking number for all packages on to Ebay either on the day of dispatch or the following day, so that you are fully aware of the progress of dispatched items.I only post items as per Ebay and Paypal terms & conditions, which require that items are sent by a method that is trackable. Due to this, please be advised that you check that the postages rates listed below are acceptable to you before bidding, but please be assured, P&P charges are only those incurred and represent no profit to me. If you win more than one item it will work out a lot cheaper on the postage if I send them in the same mailer. Please await receiving the invoice from me on the completion of the auction before paying, so that I can identify the cheapest secure method of sending the records, ensuring that you do not overpay. Returns are accepted in the unlikely event that the record does not match the grading given and it is returned in the condition sent and in packaging comparable to that which it was sent in. Before returning, please contact me. If there is not a fault but another reason you wish to return it, please contact me and I will do my utmost to resolve the situation. I have been a collecting and dealing in records for nearly 30 years and the records on sale are either part of my collection that I no longer require, or have acquired over the years as part of a job lot I purchased. In addition to selling records, I also, from time to time offer for sale other interesting items (movie posters, lobby cards, magazines, books etc) I come across in my search for records and have some knowledge about (movie & music memorabilia, collectable books & magazines etc). I have been buying and selling on Ebay since July 2000, and have a 100% positive feedback rate. I pride myself on giving accurate gradings & descriptions and doing everything I can to ensure that every sale goes smoothly. I believe that collectable items are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them, so all my auctions have a realistic starting price in relation to their rarity and/or condition. Payment must be received within 5 days or I reserve the right to cancel the auction and relist. If there will be an unavoidable delay in sending payment , please advise me to avoid the sale being cancelled.  _gsrx_vers_526 (GS 6.6.6 (526))
