PICTURES/INSERTS

SUMMARY

EARLY 1ST PRESSING OF THE WHITE ALBUM (LOW NUMBERED, WITH 'SOLD IN UK' TEXT ON LABEL).

THIS IS 'THE BEATLES' AT THE VERY TOP OF THEIR GAME.

OUTER SLEEVE

FRONT

Excellent -

There is some slight creasing around the edges.   However both the structure and spine of the album is still very strong.   This iconic white cover is still in excellent condition.

INNER GATEFOLD

Excellent +

Both track lisings and photos of the Beatles still retain their original quality.

BACK

Excellent - 

Again there is some hardly noticeable creasing towards the edges.   This aside, the back cover still looks great.

LABEL

Excellent +

As you can see from the pictures all four labels are in excellent condition.

VINYL

Very Good -

There are surface marks and some light scratch marks on both records.

AUDIO QUALITY

Excellent -

There is some occasional and faint background popping.   Despite this, the overall audio experience delivered by the Beatles is still great throughout this very special album.

 Introduction        * BE SURE TO ADD ME TO YOUR favorites list

Dear collector my name is Sam Barraclough and I have undertaken the task of selling my father’s extensive record collection. He has amassed a considerable and varied vinyl collection of albums and singles during his time as a DJ and critic, with many rare and items included.  In addition to the known rare records there are many demo and promotional items, which were not available for general purchase. 

I have a data-based collection using the Rare Record Price Guides' grading scale (If you are unaware of this grading system please don’t hesitate to contact me and I will reply as soon as possible with the guides description). As you can see in the description there is a grading given for Vinyl and Audio Quality. This is necessary because a record may seem poor quality when viewed, but when played the Audio Quality is often excellent.  Conversely the Vinyl quality may seem excellent but when played the Audio Quality can be quite poor.

The chronology of the collection stretches from the early 1960s to the early 1980s with a concentration of British Beat, Rock, Punk and Mod - but I will only be selling those records that I value at £18(€27) or over.  If you have any questions concerning this item or wish to enquire about my record collection please contact me by asking a question via ebay or email: sambarraclough@gmail.com. I aim to reply within 24 hours where possible.

 Refunds

 I will offer a full refund (minus postage) to the winning bidder if you find that any of the gradings (Outer Sleeve, Label, Vinyl or Audio Quality) given in the listing do not match the description of Rare Record Collector grading system. As you can see by my feedback I have attained a strong reputation based upon the accuracy of my description, communication with clients and a quick and professional postage.  So, in the unlikely event that you are dissatisfied, notify me within 48 hours of receipt that you are returning the album and I will deposit a full refund via Paypal. 

 Postage

 For domestic delivery I offer a choice of Royal Mail 1st Class or 2nd Class Post and a Recorded Delivery Service if requested.  For International customers Royal Mail Airmail and Surface Mail are available for dispatch of your item (please be aware of the considerable delivery time difference between the two- see table below).  With double LPs such as this item you may notice that the postage is slightly higher than you would pay on a regular LP(due to the wieght difference)   Please select your preferred method of dispatch when paying for your item by using the “Pay now” link.  For all services I will obtain proof of postage which insures the record up to a value of £32 for lost or damaged items.  If additional insurance is desired, buyers should contact me after purchasing the item.

-          All records are securely packaged in thick plastic protectors inside a record mailer, with stiffeners for extra protection in transit.

-         All records are cleaned with a professional vinyl record cleaning liquid before dispatch.

Those who wish to purchase more than one record (up to a batch of three) will receive postage reductions, which are shown in the tables below -

* When a combination of Singles and LPs or Double LPs are won, a fair postage calculation will be made favouring regular customers
