Please read the Terms and Conditions lower in the listing about payment, postage costs and insurance BEFORE placing a bid. Thank you.

I am happy to answer any questions, but please read the listing carefully before sending a question or placing a bid. I try to provide comprehensive details and information in every listing so the answers to most questions should be found below.

This is the withdrawn 1st pressing with the unique loud cut which has never been made available anywhere since. It has a harder, rockier edge which sounds completely different from every subsequent release.

Detailed description
Vinyl: The vinyl is nice and flat and has retained its original high sheen. Under 160 watt halogen spotlight some fine marks and a few scratches are visible. I have played the entire record and it sounds great. There are no jumps, sticks or skips and no clicks during the music, other than a few which can barely be heard on side one (during Drive my Car and the start of Norwegian Wood) and again, slightly more noticeably on side two (during What goes on and the first verse of Girl), but none of these are intrusive and they are mentioned here only for the sake of completeness. There is some background crackle which can be heard in the intros and fades and some swishy noises and crackle audible in the run ins/outs and silent grooves between songs, but other than the quieter songs (Michelle, In my Life) there isn't really anything noticeable during the music and none of it is loud or intrusive - the whole record was a pleasure to listen to. This is a great, playable copy.
Labels: Both labels look great, with absolutely no signs of damage, writing, stickers etc and just typical spindle marking when tilted into the light.
Sleeve: The E.J. Day sleeve is nice and clean with no damage, writing, splits, tears or stickers etc and just light signs of use. The flipbacks are perfect. On the laminated front there are some oxbow creases near the opening and a few wrinkles near the spine and when tilted into the light you can see that someone has once used it to lean on while writing a brief note (seven words and a date and telephone number). The unlaminated rear shows just slight discolouration and a couple of fingerprints.
Edge wear: top/opening/spine/bottom: minimal/moderate/none/none
Corner wear: moderate
Inner sleeve: Emitex inner
Other inserts: n/a

Detracting features not covered above - None. A really nice example.

Europe

First LP or 12" = £5.00, each additional LP or 12" add £1.80.

First 7" or CD = £1.90, each additional 7" or CD add £0.60.

 

Rest of the world (anywhere outside Europe)

First 7" or CD = £3.20, each additional 7" or CD add £0.90.

Insurance:

For overseas orders, I include insurance on all invoices.

Overseas orders valued between £39 and £500 can be insured for £6.00

Overseas orders valued over £500, please contact me.

Overseas orders weighing more than 2kg will be split into two or more packages as appropriate so they can be sent using Royal Mail's Small Packet Rate.

Overseas orders valued over £39 will ONLY be sent fully insured. For overseas orders under £39 you can request a new invoice without insurance but in the event of a claim for a lost or damaged package Royal Mail will not reimburse the full value.

Customs declaration for overseas orders: Please note that for overseas orders outside the EU I need to complete a customs declaration and must enter the value of the package on the declaration.

Postage costs in the UK

Ebay now insists that sellers offer a free UK postal service. I have always prided myself on taking excellent care of every item I send, but it costs money to ensure that LPs and sleeves survive their journey through the post.

My standard packaging for a single LP has always been:

• A brand new, high-quality record mailer
• At least THREE brand new rigid cardboard stiffeners
• All packages are labelled "Do not bend" at least twice on the front and once on the back
• I reinforce the mailer seal with special "FRAGILE" parcel tape
• My items are sent quickly and securely using first class recorded post.
  

The cost of this service is as follows:

First LP or 12" = £3.80, each additional LP or 12" add £0.80.

First 7" or CD = £1.90, each additional 7" or CD add £0.50.

I would strongly urge winning bidders to select the Sellers Standard Service option which gives you the security of knowing you will receive your record in the same condition it left me. I cannot offer the same service without charging for it and so, if you select Free P&P I will only be able to send your order in very basic packaging using 2nd class post and it will not be tracked or insured.

Any order with a value of £10 or more must be sent using the Sellers Standard Service as detailed above. Orders valued over £39 will only be sent fully insured and the total cost of this will be £7.50 up to 1kg. Orders weighing more than 1kg will be split into two or more packages as appropriate.

 

Please do not bid if you don't agree to these terms. If you have any queries please email BEFORE you bid.

Thanks for your interest in this listing and for taking the time to read these details.
