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 a rare first pressing with A2/B2 matrixes, lighter brown sleeve and "The Lemon Song" and "Livin' Lovin' Wreck" label credits.

Detailed description
Vinyl: The vinyl has retained its original high sheen and looks like it has been well cared for. Under 160 watt halogen spotlight there are a few light scuffs, marks and hairlines but nothing significant. I have played the entire record and, other than a single needle skip in track 2, there are no jumps or sticks anywhere and the record can be listened to and enjoyed all the way through without any problem. There are some swishy noises and crackle mainly in the quiet bits, and the occasional random clicks and pops and there are one or two places where you get a brief repetitive click but nothing that lasts for more than a few revolutions and never overly intrusive.
Labels: Both labels look great with no signs of damage, writing, stickers etc and just typical spindle marking when tilted into the light.
Sleeve: The light brown sleeve has no major damage although there is a sticker tear in the top left corner of the front and slight ring wear to the rear (see photo). There is no writing anywhere on the sleeve.
Edge wear: There is moderate wear to the edges and spine, but the spine is solid and square and all the text is 100% legible. There is a neat split in the top rear seam.
Corner wear: There is typical corner wear, particularly at the top and bottom of the spine.
Inner sleeve: Plain
Other inserts: n/a

Detracting features not covered above - none.

I am an ebay top-rated seller with a 100% feedback rating because my records are always described accurately and fairly. All photographs are of the actual item you will get. I will always do my best to point out any blemishes which might detract from the item.

Please check out my other items and take advantage of reduced postage costs for multiple buys.

 
Unless stated otherwise, vinyl is visually graded. I play grade records where possible but usually this will be restricted to records where a visual inspection has identified flaws on the playing surface. A visual grading will identify physical flaws (such as scratches) and will determine whether a record has been cared-for properly, but it will not detect static or crackle caused by dust in the grooves or other invisible sources. A visual grading will provide an indication of how a record might play, but it is not a guarantee of the record's sound quality, even if it looks perfect.

First pressings and originals: Many of the records I sell are first pressings and, if this is the case, I will usually identify them as such and may include the relevant matrix information etc in the description. However, sometimes I cannot be certain whether a record is a first pressing or not. In these instances I will often use the word 'original' to identify a pressing which I think might be a first pressing, but do not know for sure (but which is certainly NOT a recent pressing or audiophile release etc). If you specifically want a first pressing, and know how to identify it, please ask the relevant questions before you bid.

Feel free to ask any questions about the item (but please don’t leave it to the last minute as I may not get a chance to reply).

I ACCEPT PAYPAL.  I also accept cheques in UK Sterling GBP on orders OVER £50.

 

Airmail costs to any country outside the UK

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 LP or 12" = £7.50, each additional LP or 12" add £3.00.

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, previously used 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.
