EXTRA
HUGE AUCTION LISTINGS ENDING WEDNESDAY NIGHT (31st July) / EARLY
THURSDAY MORNING (1st August) THIS WEEK ONLY!!!! Currently I have HUGE
overstock of some INCREDIBLE items of the HIGHEST rarity - hence the
extra auction!!!!
PLEASE NOTE - this week my auction listings, will look slightly different! This is because I have absolutely LOADS of items to list, and this is the quickest way to list them - whilst still retaining ALL the very important detail on condition, rarity etc (see all details below!). Any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch via ebay messages, and GOOD LUCK if you decide to bid! Please read on about this AMAZING item below:-
RARITY:- Extremely tough to locate and VERY seldom seen! Still in its ORIGINAL Shrinkwrap and 'Deep Groove' labels! Made even rarer still - as it has the 1st Press 'WED' (etched though) and TTL matrixes which all later copies do not have! This LP was also WITHDRAWN before release in the UK (only test pressings with no covers exist) - so this is the ONLY way to own one!
COUNTRY:- JAMAICA
FORMAT:- LP
MONO/STEREO:- STEREO?
PRESSING:- 1ST PRESSING
ARTIST:- BOB MARLEY & THE WAILERS
TITLE:- SOUL REVOLUTION
CAT NUMBER:- NONE
LABEL:- MAROON
DATE:- 1971
SIGNS OF PLAY:- LIGHT
LABELS:- NM (apart from a 'touched in' trace around 1 centre hole)
RECORD GRADING:- The record is in BRILLIANT condition and is VERY bright & shiny looking indeed! It has NO scratches, only a 2 or 3 MEGA light hairlines, only 2 or 3 ULTRA light scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW! The record plays with NO skips, barely ANY clicks, NO jumps, NO sticks, NO distortion, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL! Of course it does also have some typical background sound commonly found on Jamaican LPs from this period - though this is generally lost WELL behind the music! The record must grade Very Good++ if not better - and is a very VERY decent record indeed!
INNER SLEEVE:- Original plastic Jamaican inner - unsplit!SLEEVE:- The Cover is in STUNNING condition! As it is still almost COMPLETELY covered in its ORIGINAL Shrinkwrap - it has remained in SUPERB condition! The cover has NO sticker marks, NO sticker tears, NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, NO splits, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), NO ringwear, NO rubbing, barely ANY creases AT ALL (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), NO rips, NO tears, only some very VERY minor evidence of 'tipping in' to the corners, NO annotations, and NO writing! The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL! Even the back of the cover is in SUPERB condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, only 2 or 3 MEGA faint stain traces towards the left, NO ringwear, NO rubbing, and NO writing! The cover must grade Excellent+ if not better! SUPERB COVER!
OTHER DETAILS:- A WORD ABOUT JAMAICAN PRESSINGS:- Jamaican vinyl pressings were generally fairly good. However, they usually used old and outdated pressing machines, and so they often look crude and rudementary - which is exactly as manufactured. There may also be the odd click / pop for no reason on Jamaican pressings (again, as manufactured) or a few pressing dimples (again - as manufactured!). These should obviously not be included in the grading - as so few copies were made, that if one copy has it - then generally they all willl. That said, most Jamaican 45s I am listing here have NONE of those issues and play SUPERBLY!
--ooOOoo--
Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items (I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!) - PLEASE REMEMBER to contact with me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one! I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem! This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem. Thanks again - Graham @ XXXRecords.
PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt. MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):- Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little. Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002. However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever. However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out. Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself. On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!). I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs! And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference. THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER! No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged. Any questions - please ask!
