Hi, I started collecting vinyl Lp's and 45's in 1971, I have 20,000 + which I have moved now 4 times, and about to move again next year. So it's time to let at least half go. Most are in at least Excellent condition.  I can't listen to them all, so most will only have visual grading, any with a high start price, I will listen too, and play grade. 

Please read my listings before bidding, as I hope to have covered everything.... ( Item, condition, postage costs and packaging. )     

*** I AIM TO PROVIDE AN EXCELLENT SERVICE AND DO ACCEPT RETURNS - HOWEVER - PLEASE NOTE I WILL NOT REFUND WHAT IT COSTS THE BUYER TO SEND AN ITEM BACK. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS THEN PLEASE DO NOT PLACE A BID ON THE ITEMS I HAVE FOR SALE. THANK YOU ***

***I TRY TO BE AS ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE IN MY DESCRIPTIONS, SO IF THERE IS A PROBLEM PLEASE CONTACT ME FIRST SO WE CAN SORT THE ISSUE OUT ***

 

"ALL IN EXCELLENT + CONDITION! 1972 UK 2nd PRESS"

ALL IMPORTANT 1E 2E MATRIX'S!

 DAVID BOWIE :- * The RISE And FALL Of ZIGGY STARDUST And The SPIDERS From MARS *.  UK ORIGINAL 2nd PRESSING.

DAVID BOWIE’s seminal commercial release on RCA.  

He was joined by his long term producer Toni Visconti.
L@@K AT THE PHOTO'S, NOW 54 YEARS OLD, THIS IS IN AMAZING CONDITION!
His first Glam rock Lp album, are now revered as a classic, the BEST of many of Bowie's most creative periods.     
 Sleeve. :-  Near Mint        Vinyl. :-  Near Mint. Inner :- Excellent.
*ALL THE RECORDS IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS, ARE THE ACTUAL RECORDS.....WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU RECEIVE.*   Vinyl -  Looks amazing, Near Mint condition. SF 8287 (LSP 4702) No "MAINMAN" with "TITANIC" credit, Beautifully clear, precise and crisp. No clicks or pops and no surface noise. I played it on a Pioneer PL 550 with a Shure M44E cartridge. This unforgiving cartridge will pick up any defects. Audibly it has to be an Near MINT! EX+. Visually to be honest you won't see any better copies. I will therefore grade the vinyl visually as Near Mint EX+ too.

Inner Sleeve - Original. + Lyric Sheet, the only blemish a slight tear (see photo) a few mm.. (tiny)
Labels - Original Glossy Orange, No spindle marks
Spine - Perfect all text visible
Sleeve - Near Mint....  The Robert Stace sleeve is in near perfect condition. The edges are straight with no indentations, corners are sharp and opening has no fraying, very little signs of wear, as I have kept it in a polythene sleeve since new.
Hopefully all the photos will tell the true story.
GRADING SYSTEM: In order to assist everyone who buys and sells rare discs, Record Collector magazine has originated a set of standards for the condition of second-hand records, I have added a (+) or (-) to my gradings where applicable.

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.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

PAYMENT:

Items must be payed for within five days. If non payment within five days, I will then instigate an Ebay ruling. I will set up a dispute and either offer it to the runner up bidder or relist.

RETURNS POLICY: 

I aim to provide an excellent service and hope that all buyers are satisfied with their purchase. However, if for any reason this should not be so, please contact me. I do accept returns, and on receipt of the item I will give a full refund - however - I will not refund what it costs the buyer to send it back, as otherwise I am just paying for the customer to look at it. I will not issue a refund if detail that is clearly stated on the advertisement has been missed by the buyer, so please read carefully.

PACKAGING: 

I use preformed Hand made and standard mailers with stiffeners. I always take the vinyl out in its inner sleeve and place on top of the cover. This is then placed into a soft protective sleeve and packaged with stiffeners for full protection.
