Non-UK bidders/buyers - Please scroll down to read the list of countries I am willing to mail to before placing a bid!!   Please also read the listed prices for each group of countries which is at the bottom of this description

The price quoted at the top of this listing is for postage within the UK only - 2nd class signed for with a value of up to £45.  If the record goes for more than this it will cost more to post - see below

Frequently asked questions about postage:

Do you combine postage?  Yes.  I am not a business.  I have decent scales and if someone buys more than one record I pack, weigh and then send the invoice.  If someone buys quite a lot I will take the time to work out the various ways I can combine items to get the lowest postal costs with the correct insurance.

Will you send by standard postage?  No.  I will not post anything unless it has the correct insurance and a signature at point of delivery.   This includes international postage.

TRACK LISTING and audio comments

SIDE ONE

"The way I see it, Barry, this should be a dynamite show"


Lumpy Gravy Part I  plays great and sounds brilliant all the way through


SIDE TWO

Lumpy Gravy Part II  99% of this side plays great and sounds brilliant.  There is a short scratch right near the end which cause a click for several revolutions

Produced by Frank Zappa


STEREO


THE COVER   is in overall excellent condition. Slight wear on the corners and some shelf wear along the bottom edge. The front, spine and back are laminated

The front:    one wrinkle near the top of the spine edge.  No damage to laminate at all - it looks new. Very faint ring wear at the top and bottom

The spine:   clean, undamaged

The back:   amazingly good condition.  A few very tiny spots where the laminate has lifted but none missing or other damage

The inside:  is in superb condition apart from the bottom of the right hand side where there has been a little ink transference over the years.  There is also an inscription on the right hand side - see photo.  This was a Xmas present from my boyfriend at the time


THE VINYL:  light spindle marks on both sides.  I've played it all the way through on both sides and there are no jumps or sticking points, plays really well and sounds great apart from the scratch mentioned above. There is a light surface scratch on Side 1.

Value between £45 and £100 - postage will be £6.95 for Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed by 1 pm

INTERNATIONAL: I send items by Airsure if it is available, which means that international postage can be very expensive.  I will only post to countries that are listed on the Royal Mail's website as providing a signed for service at point of delivery.

FEEDBACK POLICY:  feedback is the fastest way for me to know if your item(s) have arrived safely and after selling quite a few bits and pieces on Ebay I got a bit fed up with buyers who couldn't be bothered or were just too lazy or ill-mannered to leave me feedback so I now leave feedback only for buyers who leave feedback for me. You scratch my feedback and I'll scratch yours!!
