BIRTHDAY PARTY Mr. Clarinet VINYL 45 (Australia) Missing Link – MLS-18

Record Grade:  VG+ to EX-

(Pretty clean, especially under regular light, however under strong light there's some very light sleeve scuffs/abrasions. )

PLEASE NOTE: I will be listing some items on the Australian,  UK and US Ebay sites.

FREE SHIPPING TO AUSTRALIA (registered post on $20+ items)
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS NOTE: Import taxes are the responsibility of the buyer. Please be aware of these costs before bidding.  (International Postage terms: see below) Posted with vinyl outside of sleeve to prevent sleeve splits in transit. Packed in solid cardboard. Japanese pressings are usually heavier packages.

IMPORTANT: All records graded carefully under strong light. 

I have a long standing good reputation for grading and I use

the UK grading system which includes EX grades. I am used to

strict Japanese grading standards. If a disc is graded EX you

will not receive something that should be VG+. On the off chance

that happens, please contact me and I will sort it out.


International Postage: 

These discs are generally aimed at Australian buyers, 

but I have a lot of experience posting internationally.

Some items are set as AU/N.E. Asia only; some are Asia + UK/US/Europe.

International postage will be an $ AU 20 flat rate (air w/tracking)

(I'll cover the difference, including signature etc., and if actual postage 

does happen to come in lower I'll refund the difference back.)


If you would like to combine international postage on multiple items 

please wait for an invoice.


Vinyl is visually graded only.  My sound system is still in storage in

another city.


Grading note: Very clean near mint records may sometimes have tiny

specks of dust or very small ultra thin fabric strands (which can sometimes

be mistaken for marks) on the vinyl, which come from the inside of 

inner sleeves. Both of these will likely be removed by the stylus on first play.

If I can, I send items out in anti-static inner sleeves to try to minimize

this.

IMPORTANT: additional information. As seen in scan ... this is a non-serated label and both UK and Oz issues used the UK ML sleeve. I'be got some information indicating this could be a UK press, but other info online indicates and Australian pressing. Either way ... this is a 2 colour label issue ... not the one color version. Please consider that this could be a UK press ... I don't know for sure. Info added with bid at $2.75. (current highest bidder, please feel free to retract bid if need be).
