Shape Of The Rain - Riley, Riley, Wood & Waggett
(RCA Neon NE 7 UK LP 1971)
This is an original UK LP pressing in very nice overall condition! It has a heavyweight matt gatefold sleeve. It has its original polythene-lined plain black company inner sleeve. The record is pressed on thick vinyl & has "RCA Neon" labels. It has 1st press -3E/ -3E matrix stampers.
This is an excellent early 1970's UK Melodic Prog Rock/ Psych LP. There are some really great tracks on this LP. Released on the highly collectible "RCA Neon" label too. UK originals of this LP are extremely rare. This is a very reasonable copy too. Well recommended!
Gatefold Sleeve: There is some light, mild or very mild rubbing wear to the bottom edge. There is light or very minor rubbing wear on the top edges on a few areas. There is some light, mild or very mild rubbing wear to the corner tips. The spine shows a centre crease from opening the sleeve. Otherwise, just some minimal rubbing wear on a very few areas. The spine text is clearly legible. There is some light, mild or very mild rubbing wear to the sleeve opening edges on the rear sleeve only. There is some light or very mild ringwear on some areas Very Good++ condition.
Vinyl: There are some light, mild or very mild sleeve rubs which can only be seen under a strong light. There are two very light hairline marks. These measure 1 cm and 2 cm in length. There are a couple of very small areas of slightly more moderate sleeve rubs. These, again, can only be seen under a strong light. Very Good++ condition. The labels are in Excellent condition and show light spindle wear. The polythene-lined company inner sleeve is in Very Good+ condition. It shows light, mild or very mild ringwear & creasing. There is one small tear at the die-cut centre area on one side only. It has no seam splits.
I have play tested this LP in its entirety & it plays Near Excellent to Excellent overall, & Excellent+ in some places. There is some light or very minor crackle in a few quieter places. There are 2 or 3 light or very mild clicks at the end of the 1st track on Side 1. Overall, a great audio copy!
Traceable insurance is already included in the stated P&P price for this listing.
Discount is given on P&P for multiple purchases. I shall always weigh combined purchases to get a completely accurate price. So please wait for the invoice to be sent before paying. Please see below for a more detailed description.
Please note that there are now VAT import charges from the UK into all EU countries. Anything under 150 Euros will need an IOSS number. VAT is paid at point of sale. For any items over 150 Euros in value. There will be a customs charge too. These vary, I believe, from country to country. Please check your relevant postal service online for details. Please note that these charges are beyond my control and are now the law for outside parcels going into the EU.
AN INVOICE WILL BE SENT TO YOU VERY SOON AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS. PLEASE WAIT FOR THIS BEFORE PAYING.
Royal Mail have very recently increased their postage rates. So I have revised my postage costs to reflect their increases. (Please note that these prices include packaging costs too)
Double LPs are classed as two LPs. Also posters, inserts, etc.. can increase postage costs. One parcel must not exceed 2kg (approximately 4-6 LPS).
All records will be sent in high quality vinyl mailers with at least two card stiffeners either side of the LP or 7" Single. I use a cruciform box for larger orders (3-6 LPs). All parcels will be marked "Fragile" and dispatch time will generally be between 1-3 days after payment.
I will also remove the vinyl from the sleeve & place them in a re-sealable polythene sleeve. In order to prevent seam splits. Depending on the inner sleeve; I often remove the vinyl from the inner sleeve & place it in a separate plain paper, or polythene-lined, plain inner sleeve. I am very conscientious and careful when packaging your LP(s).
I consider my postage & packaging costs to be very transparent & very fair. Packaging costs will generally be between £0.80 to £1.50. I am not adding any further costs for handling, etc...
If you are uncertain about any of the above, or just simply want some information regarding any item, please do not hesitate to contact me. I welcome any questions.
Remember to check out Lots of rare & quality vinyl! Most are UK 1st Pressings. It is quite likely that there will be more records by this artist, or records in a similar vein.
