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:- BEYOND RARE! Sent directly to a music journalist BEFORE release - it has a 'Factory Sample' Sticker on the label! BUT NOT ONLY THIS - IT HAS THE VERY 'EARLIEST' MATRIXES & MOTHER / STAMPER CODINGS I HAVE EVER SEEN ON THIS LP EVER! Incredibly not only are the matrixes the 1st Press 3U/4U matrixes (later ones have 4U/4U instead!), but it has INCREDIBLY low 1/A and 1/M mother and stamper codings! And this REALLY DOES SHOW that it was one of the first 900 copies ever made! Sometimes on later copies you find a low stamper on 1 side and a high stamper on the other - but in reality this just shows the early stamper is being 're-used'. Whereas these mother & stamper codes ARE IN EXACT ORDER - 1/A (3rd stamper) and 1/M (the fourth stamper) - clearly showing that this LP was WITHOUT ANY DOUBT one of the first 900 copies ever made, and sent out WAY before the release date to the music journalist mentioned above!

THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK! The record plays with NO skips, only a few VERY light clicks (though mostly NONE!), NO jumps, NO sticks, NO distortion, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL! The record must grade Very Good+ if not better - and is a very VERY decent record indeed!
INNER SLEEVE:- The 1st Press 'Lyric' inner sleeve is in BRILLIANT condition (apart from an almost INVISIBLE repair along the bottom).SLEEVE:- The ORIGINAL 1st Press FULLY Laminated Cover is in BRILLIANT condition! The cover has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear (side words PERFECT!), barely ANY corner wear AT ALL (NOT through the colour!), NO splits, only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), NO rips, NO tears, only some VERY minor evidence of 'tipping in' to the corner tips, shiny laminate, NO annotations, and NO writing! The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL! Even the laminated back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, and NO writing! The cover must grade Very Good+ if not better - and is a very VERY decent cover indeed!
OTHER DETAILS:- None.

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!
