	A$		305
	$		202

THIS LP IS BY THE GREAT 'BEE GEES' AND IS CALLED 'THE BEE GEES SING AND PLAY 14 BARRY GIBB SONGS' AND WAS RELEASED HERE IN AUSTRALIA ON THE BOUTIQUE AUSSIE ONLY CALENDAR LABEL R66-241 IN 1967.

THIS LP WAS ORIGINALLY PRESSED WITH THE SAME TITLE ON THE LEEDON LABEL LL-31801 IN NOVEMBER 1965 ALSO WITH THE SAME TRACKS.

SO THIS LP HAS THE SAME FRONT COVER AND TRACKS BUT HAS A DIFFERENT BACK COVER TO THE ORIGINAL PRESSING.

THE TRACKS ARE:

I WAS A LOVER A LEADER OF MEN, I DON'T THINK ITS FUNNY, HOW LOVE WAS TRUE, TO BE OR NOT TO BE, TIMBER, CLAUSTROPHOBIA, COULD IT BE, AND THE CHILDREN LAUGHING, WINE AND WOMEN, DON'T SAY GOODBYE, PEACE OF MIND, TAKE HOLD OF THAT STAR, YOU WOULDN'T KNOW AND FOLLOW THE WIND.

THE COVER IS IN VG+ ON THE FRONT AND GOOD ON THE BACK WITH SIGNS OF FADING ETC .. IT HAS A NAME ON THE BACK AS WELL.THERE ARE SIGNS OF WEAR ON THE BOTTOM AND MIDDLE SPINE.

THE LABEL ONE SIDE ONE IS CLEAR EXCEPT FOR A PERSONS NAME ON IT AND SIDE TWO IS CLEAN AND CLEAR.

THE RECORD IS IN VG+ CONDITION AND PLAYS CLEAN AND CLEAR WITH THE OCCASIONAL CRACKLE.

THE AUTOGRAPH IS OF ALL THREE BOYS AND WAS OBVIOUSLY TAKEN LATER IN THEIR MUSICAL CAREER .

BUT IT HAS ALL THREE SIGNATURES!

       All vinyl listed on auction has been cleaned, played and visually inspected so that you may bid with confidence. Albums (LPs) and Extended Plays (EPs) are sent with the record outside of the cover and placed in an outer plastic sleeve (to prevent ring-wear) before safely packed.

       Where required, the sleeves have been cleaned with a secret formula to eradicate as much ring-wear and built up dirt as possible.

        Multiple items won will be combined to save on postage.

ENQUIRIES ARE WELCOME AT ANYTIME, HOWEVER, PLEASE ALLOW 24 HOURS FOR A RESPONSE AS I MAY BE AWAY.

For grading purposes I play side one only of an EP or 45 (mainly the ‘A’ side) and a few tracks on side one of an LP.

I also grade records on a perceived appearance basis. I then combine them for an overall grading. I believe this to be the most effective way of grading records. Some records can look ordinary but they play well and vikky vika and vika vikky.

Australia Post does not provide a Tracking Number system as other some countries have in place. However, all care is taken in packing your item safely & professionally. But I cannot accept responsibility for any item delayed, lost or damaged in the post as in the case of France where parcels just seem to disappear.

I TRY TO COMPLETE ALL SHIPPING AT COST BUT SOMETIMES THE POST OFFICE HAS DIFFERENT IDEAS WHICH ARE OUT OF MY CONTROL. ALL PARCELS ARE PACKED  WELL.

THE BUYER PAYS FOR POSTAGE AND PACKING PLUS INSURANCE IF REQUIRED

I use the English Record Collectors Magazine Guidelines for gradings as this appears to be the generally accepted term of reference with variances to + or minus. Below are grading scales.

GRADING DEFINITIONS FROM THE ENGLISH RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE

MINT (M): The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.

EXCELLENT (EX): The record shows signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD (VG): The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and occasional light scratches. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD (G): The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR (F): The record is still just about playable, but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

POOR (P): The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

THERE ARE VARIANCES + OR - TO THE ABOVE ASSESSMENTS.
