OUTER SLEEVE EXCELLENT The very soft textured unlaminated full colour EJ Day gatefold sleeve is clean and retains its original colours. There is some inevitable storage rubbing along its top and bottom edges and corners (the back cover has a slightly dented bottom lefthand corner), but there are no folds, creases, seam splits, tears, stains or writing. The spine is intact with a few light creases and the inner gatefold is almost perfect.

BOOKLET NEAR MINT The 22 page insert is in FANTASTIC condition with very little evidence of having been taken out of the sleeve.

GOOD LUCK AND GOOD BIDDING!

IF YOU ARE THINKING OF BIDDING FOR THIS ITEM PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING...

ABOUT ME: If you haven't done business with me before my name is Andy Hibberd and I own a "bricks and mortar" secondhand record shop called 101 COLLECTORS RECORDS in Farnham, Surrey, about one hour out of central London. I deal in old and collectable vinyl, CDs, DVDs and memorabilia in all musical genres, as well as new releases and re-issues. Please feel free to get in touch if you need any further information about this item, if you have any questions about what's currently in stock, or if you have a collection for sale and need some advice. 

All photographs are of the actual item offered for sale: I never use 'stock' pictures or re-use old photos of previously sold stock.

All items are listed for 10 days, running from Thursdays to Sundays. If you wish to leave a message, or ask a question, please try to do so before the final Sunday as I may not be in front of my laptop on my day off. Also, I always let my auctions run their full course, so please do not contact me asking if the item can be sold early. Live a little, enjoy the thrill of bidding.

If you win an item, PLEASE WAIT FOR ME TO INVOICE YOU BEFORE YOU SEND YOUR PAYMENT, especially if you have bought more than one item - you will be entitled to a postage discount for multiple items.

Payment may only be made in UK £ Sterling: I accept PayPal, UK personal cheques (with bank guarantee card details) and most international credit and debit cards. I cannot accept cash payments unless they are offered in person upon collection or delivery.

I am always happy to receive any wants-lists, but file them carefully on little bits of paper under slightly larger bits of paper that aren't always quite where they should be because the elves have clearly moving things around whilst I wasn't looking. I will guarantee to find what you want within minutes of you a) finding it elsewhere, b) deciding you can live without that Tibetan Skater Punk LP after all, or c) losing the will to live.

Despite that, all my vinyl is strictly graded using the Record Collector RRPG system, and all goods are properly protected and posted in strong, new Covers 33 packaging. Please recycle the packing cardboard if possible - it might just offset the damage done when the item was originally manufactured. Alternatively, throw it away and set fire to a couple of tyres.

Finally, thank you very much for your interest in this item, I really appreciate it. If you are thinking of bidding, please read all descriptions fully and take the time to read my Postage details and my Returns Policy below. Also, please take a look at my Feedback comments and my past sales. I am not an anonymous internet seller, but a responsible and contactable UK record dealer. You can bid with confidence. 

POSTAGE DETAILS: Certificates of Posting are obtained for all packets despatched, without exception, but I CAN ACCEPT NO LIABILITY FOR ANY ITEMS THAT MAY BE LOST OR DAMAGED IN THE POST although I will happily provide you with any necessary paperwork in the event of you making a claim against Royal Mail. I always strongly recommend that you select the insured option for postage irrespective of the content's value. If you do not select the insured option, and your parcel goes missing in the post, then you will not be entitled to any compensation, it's that simple.

METHODS OF POSTING: 1. Packets with a total contents value of under £34 (UK customers) Royal Mail First Class service. 2. Packets valued at £34 or above (UK customers) Special Delivery Next Day service (inc insurance). 3. Packets with a total value of under £34 (Overseas customers) Standard Airmail (Small Packets) service. 4. Packets valued at £34 or over (Overseas Customers) Royal Mail International Signed For service (inc insurance). 5. For packets containing very expensive items (i.e. £500+) customers should contact me if they wish to use a courier service, as this is by far the safest and most guaranteeable method of delivery. NO EXCEPTIONS! 

Please see below to find the exact postage charge for this item.

 Please do not ask me to send expensive items by the cheapest service available, as it is both a false economy and a nightmare to resolve to everyone's satisfaction if the postal system lets us down. If you are not prepared to pay these postage charges then PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THIS ITEM.  

GOOD LUCK AND GOOD BIDDING!
