Selling-up my extensive record collection. Lots of interesting LPs in the collection - do have a look at my other items, and there are new listings every week. I may have obscure things that you didn't even know you wanted!

Here is a good copy of this rare Krautrock classic. This copy has six-digit catalog number on cover, but 5-figure number on the record label, making it the 1972 transitional second version/first repress. This is on the Ohr label, being made in Germany.

Pictures are my own photos of the items for sale. Photos are part of the description, have a good look.

Cover - please have a look at the photos, as the thing is generally good - it's all there - but I should tell about any faults, so as to avoid disappointment. The cover is made of rather thin card, and is easily bent or damaged. This opens up in a "double fold-out", opening like church doors, with two leaves on each side. Back is good, with light wear to black ink, and a piece of sellotape on bottom edge. Front pages / leaves are basically flat but show old creases where it has been bent in the distant past. The left panel has light bends / wavy effect, but right panel is flat. There are small stains top right of that panel. There are bumps / wear to corners of the cover, particularly at bottom left where there is a small tear. The inner left panel has a sharp small bend at top right of it, and shows the same bends as the outer panel. Right inner panel has a fold to its inner edge, with a very short tear at bottom of the folded-over part. When the cover is fully open, we see a human figure in front of a circular motif. This is in good condition, with the sellotape mentioned before, coming over to the bottom of that panel. To the left and right of that panel we see the inside of the inner doors / panels, so there is a hinge / fold there. These hinges are in good condition. There is a second pair of hinges / folds which are also the spines on the outside. These show wear, and have actually partially split - a couple of short splits on left side, a longer split at top on the right.

Record - this is good, but again, I need to describe any faults. On side one, I see a longish light scratch towards the end of the side (about 1.5"). There is also a small mark half-way through the side. On side two I see long light scuffs or fingernail marks, and another light scuff in from the edge, about 1" long.

I have been collecting records for 50 years (when finances allowed!), and now it's time to sell-up. I bought them mostly around local shops (second-hand), but sometimes from e-bay, and sometimes new, for my favourite bands.

When I'm checking for damage on records, I look at them carefully with my reading glasses on, in good daylight. This method detects any bits of damage that will affect what you hear when listening to it - and lots that are not audible. Using a spotlight or direct sunlight shows more surfacey marks sometimes, but I don't do that - records are for listening to, not trying to see your face in.

My price seems to be the least that one of these evr goes for.

Postage at cost within UK - £3.00 plus 50p for a proper record mailer Happy to do combined postage wherever practical.

I'm happy to send this overseas. See below for details, if bidding from outside UK - you need to know this stuff.

Dispatch will usually be "next day".

Collection in person is welcome.

I don't mail things personally, to countries outside the UK - ( I mean it, don't ask) - but I am happy to use E-Bay UK's Global Shipping Program, for sending things abroad. Under this scheme, I send the parcel to an e-bay depot in UK, and they forward it to the overseas buyer.

They have a tracked courier service, for the journey from their UK depot, to the buyer.

This means that I can ONLY accept payments through e-bay (Pay Now button), and I can't send invoices.

E-Bay UK tells me, they do NOT do combined postage in the Global Shipping Programme. Charges to the customer for delivery are whatever you're told they are - if you don't want to pay the postal / courier charges, then do not bid.

International buyers should be able to see a postage cost to their country, you may have to input your location, if your country is included in the scheme.

If your country is not mentioned, please do not bid.

International postage to the following countries will be shown (this is the latest list that I've seen - lotta countries!)

Australia Austria Belgium Bulgaria Canada Croatia Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark Finland France Germany Greece Hungary Ireland Israel Italy Japan Lithuania Luxembourg Malta Netherlands New Zealand Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Singapore, South Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand Turkey Norway Poland Portugal Romania Russia Slovakia Slovenia Spain Sweden, United States, Antigua & Barbuda Aruba Bangladesh Barbados Belize Bermuda Bolivia Brunei Darussalam Cambodia Cayman Islands Dominica Ecuador Egypt French Guiana Gibraltar Grenada Guadeloupe Guernsey Iceland Jersey Jordan Liechtenstein Macau Maldives Martinique Monaco Montserrat Nicaragua Oman Pakistan Paraguay Peru Reunion Saint Kitts & Nevis Saint Lucia Sri Lanka and Turks & Caicos Islands

International postage plus applicable customs charges will probably be shown to buyers in the following non-EU countries - E-Bay collects customs duty for the receiving country: Australia, Brazil, Canada, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, Russia and USA, and wherever else import duty is appropriate - e.g. Norway.

I WILL DEFINITELY NOT post to countries that are not included in the above lists, and I don't send to China.
