Over the years I have built up a HUGE backlog of records.  However, it is now getting to the stage where it is getting a bit over the top.  Therefore I will be listing a HUGE amount of records over the next two weeks to make space.  So keep checking back - as more and MORE items will appear every day!  Every genre will be represented, and MANY items are very VERY rare indeed!  THERE WILL BE NO DROSS AT ALL - with PLENTY of VERY rare items, and even some more common items (but in AMAZING 'record shop' condition)!  

And of course, postage multiple discounts are ALWAYS available and UNDER the real cost - with NO CHARGE for packing or handling!  Gradings will be simpler (using the UK RRC grading guidelines) obviously due to the amount listed - though I will be just as strict, and obviously mention any major defects outside of the grade given! Please see my detailed grading guidelines below the items grading if you have any doubt!  Good luck if you decide to bid:-

THIS ITEM:-  SUPER RARE LP - AND ALMOST NEVER SEEN NOW!  'EARLIEST' UK 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE + 'LEMON SONG' & 'LIVIN LOVING WRECK' MISPRINT!  NOT ONLY THAT - BUT THIS LP HAS QUITE LITERALLY THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS SET OF MOTHER & STAMPER CODINGS I HAVE EVER SEEN BEING:-  588 198 Av2 112 & 588 198 BV2 111.  I HAVE NEVER EVER SEEN ANOTHER ONE WITH RUN OFF MATRIXES & STAMPERS AS EARLY AS THIS - EVER!  DEFINITELY ONE OF THE FIRST 500 COPIES EVER MADE!

COVER:-  VG (1st Press LIGHTEST Brown cover!  Has edge wear / spine wear as expected, but spinal words still readable.  Has LESS rubbing than normal and barely ANY ringwear to the cover back.  NO sticker marks and NO writing!  A VERY decent presentable example of this VERY rare LIGHTEST Brown 1st Press cover!)

LABELS:-  VERY nice + Wreck credit showing clearly.  Faint stain trace to 1 label (see pictures).

RECORD:-  G (Still shiny looking - with a few hairlines under light.  Some audible surface sound on playback - though this is lost WELL behind the loud music and lessens with treble.  Music still VERY enjoyable and as most of this LP is VERY loud this is barely a distraction.  No sticks and NO jumps.  A few clicks also noted.  Still a decent presentable / playable LP!) 

Dont forget to take a look at all my other items including many other TOP LPs & 45s and contact me with any queries you may have.  Postal discounts for multiple buys are always available - and I guarantee to ALWAYS undercharge on postage!  Paypal, Bank Transfers, Cheques, International Money Orders, and Postal Orders accepted. Thanks for looking! Cheers!!!!!

REGARDING GRADINGS:- As I am listing in large amounts, I will only have time to use a simple grading.  Obviously I will try to maintain my VERY strict standards.  These records are EXACTLY as they were found, so there may be the odd fingerprint / dust etc.  However there will be NO dirty / mouldy records, and most will be PERFECTLY shiny and clean.  In any case, I know that many bidders like to clean their records in their own way.  There will still be time for short play gradings, with snippets / passages played to check (though not the whole record).  I will not mention details that do not affect the grading - such as unglued seams for example, as these can simply be re-glued!  Anything clearly visible in the pictures with not be mentioned (deletion corner cuts, sticker marks, etc).  If it is NOT clearly visible, or only marginally visible - then it WILL be mentioned.  Any LP which should have a Picture / Lyric inner sleeve, will have it displayed.  Any insert will be displayed, if it is not displayed then it is not present.  I also will not mention any wear in line with the grading given - such as edgewear, rubbing, etc - though I will ALWAYS mention any major defects outside of the normal grading guidelines. 

PICTURES:-  Time constraints limits me to 1 picture only.  BE SURE the cover back will be in the same condition / grading as the front (with NO hidden defects!), and if this is not the case - it will ALWAYS be mentioned!  If the cover back on unlaminated covers is not as nice as the front - it will be clearly mentioned!  There will be NO hidden grubby cover backs on my auctions EVER.

SERIOUS DEFECTS:-  Any LPs cover or inner with splits WILL BE MENTIONED - if there is nothing mentioned - the cover & inner are UNSPLIT.  The same with rips / tears / sticker marks / writing - all will be mentioned.  If nothing is mentioned these will NOT be present.

PACKING / POSTAGE TIME :- Usual high standards.  Packed properly to avoid any impact damage (buffer zones) and taped tight.  Obviously with the HUGE amount I will be listing, I will need a few days to pack & post.  However, I will endeavour to despatch items out as quickly as possible (and will be taking a whole week off to do it!).

Apologies to do such short gradings / descriptions - but I have well over 1000 records to list, and these have to go quickly!  Hence there will be some UNDOUBTED bargains here! GOOD LUCK IF YOU DECIDE TO BID!

--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.
