Artist or Band:   Liverpool Fishermen 

Album Title:   Swallow The Anchor (BOOKS AT OVER £100 IN RC GUIDES)

Label and Condition: Very rare copy, seldom seen, I would place the condition of this as between VG for the sleeve due to a few creases (no tears, rips etc) and VG+ visually for the vinyl, it has a few scuff marks but plays without any problems, no skips, hops or jumps (we could do with those at the Olympics at the moment, not much life there)

Rarity Factor: The album itself is very rare, copies do not come up that often so don’t miss out on your chance to own this on.

Original Year of Release: 1971

Album Play Graded: Yes, plays fine.

Hi, I am Tom, I have been in the music business for over 30 years now, as a collector, performer and now as a seller, this is only due to the fact that I have over 20000 records and there is not enough years left to play them all, so you lucky people out there are going to get some really great music over the next year or two.

Many of you will have dealt with me a couple of years back when I first started selling my records, unfortunately due to my having a long holiday my 2600 positive feedbacks have got deleted and I am now starting from “scratch” again, but those of you who know me will no doubt be delighted that I am back.

My listings will have all the rarities, Beatles, Stones, Small Faces, Led Zeppelin, Who, Jimi Hendrix, Kinks, Vertigo’s, Jethro Tull, Sheet Music, Autographs, Rare Picture Sleeves etc, a treasure throve of vinyl in fact.

For those of you who do NOT know me, everything will be listed on ebay, so don’t bother looking to “cherry pick” everyone is going to get the same chance for fairness, I will also NOT withdraw items from auction irrespective of what offers are made, again, I wish to be fair to all, I am sure most of you understand.

Most of my records have already been played but I will Play-Grade every record I offer (on a Little Pink Thing deck with Goldring Erotica cartridge) and ATC studio speakers. I will mention any defects or flaws no matter how small that I notice to be fair as possible to any interested collector.

All the pictures I use for your guidance are taken with a digital camera or scanned - they are NOT improved. What you see is what you get and these are the actual pictures of the item your bidding on. I hope the item below is to your liking - any questions can be emailed and I will do my very best to answer you. Please assume all records I offer have NO jumps or sticks or writing on covers or labels unless clearly stated to the contrary.  

Please Note: I will now offer any item to the runner-up after 3 days if no contact is made by the winning bidder. The same applies if no payment is received within 7 days so any bidder who has just lost out can still email me to reserve the item as priority second chance.

1st Time bidders can buy from me on the basis that they contact me to begin with, many sellers refuse first time buyers: however I would appreciate anyone with a feedback of less than 10 letting me know their intentions, and preferred payment method prior to bidding. This gives me confidence that their intentions are honorable; failure to contact me first will have their bids cancelled out.   

Please read all this information carefully:

It’s well worth a few minutes of your time to read the details thoroughly. I cannot take any responsibility if any bidder fails to read the facts that are clearly stated in my details.

Finally, once I receive your payment I will, unlike a LOT of sellers and dealers, immediately leave you with your positive feedback, I totally ABHORE sellers who wait until YOU, the BUYER leave THEM feedback firstly, this suggests to me that the seller has something to hide or perhaps has not graded the item correctly and they then use this as a kind of “blackmail” threat.

I am so confident in my records and grading that I am always happy to leave the feedback first. I would also appreciate your feedback once you have received the record. As stated, if your unhappy for any valid reason, a refund of the record purchase is GUARANTEED BY ME.

Anyone of you can also check my feedback on the following: Gemm, Musicstack, Netsounds.

Being a fastidious collector, most of my records are in lovely condition and will play as described, I do however have a Moth Pro MK11 record cleaning machine and if a winning bidder wishes to have the disc professionally cleaned on this machine then I am happy to do so at the additional cost of £2.00 per LP and £1.00 per 7” / EP. The LP’s will be placed in new Nagaoka Anti Static Sleeves and the 7” in new white sleeves.

Please let me know if you require this and I can add it on to your payment, I make no money from this additional service as you all know what the Moth costs to purchase and the cost of the solution and sleeves. This service will be FREE to winners of any record over £50.00 in value.

Final Summary:

PLEASE NOTE, I AM ALSO PREPARED TO PURCHASE LARGE (OR SMALL RECORD COLLECTIONS) NO EASY LISTENING OR CLASSICAL, 60’S & 70’S COLLECTIONS AND RECORDS MAINLY, NOTHING IN LESS THAN EXCELLENT CONDITION. I DO NOT DO VALUATIONS SO PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR THEM. SPECIFICALLY WANTED, BEATLES, STONES, PINK ISLANDS, VERTIGO SWIRLS, EARLY HENDRIX, WHO, KINKS, ANIMALS, PROG, FOLK, SMALL FACES,  ETC.

Payment Details please read carefully:

Postage details listed on eBay are for UK only, see my details below for all other destinations

UK First Class: = 1st LP £3.00; Recorded Delivery (Recommended) = £3.50 Special Delivery (Next day, insured up to £250), £7.00 additional LP’s add £1.00 per LP. All LP’s are packed in purpose made mailers with card inserts or purpose wrappers.

Europe Air Mail: = £6 Insured: £8.00 (1st LP)

Overseas, non-Europe e.g. USA, Japan, Australia etc. Airmail:= £8; Insured with recorded delivery (where available) = £12.00 (1st LP)

Singles: (Packed to the high standards of the LPs)

UK First class: = £2.00 1st, Insured: £3 (rec del covers up to £25.00) Special Delivery after that add on £3.15 for cover up to £250.00

Europe Air Mail = £4.00 Insured: £5.50

Overseas, non-Europe (as above) Airmail £4.50 Insured: £6.00

Any item that sells for over £50 will be sent Special Delivery in the UK to protect us both. This is gives peace of mind for the winning bidder and myself for valuable items. Reduced postage of course for multiple items.

If a winning bidder chooses to not have an item sent recorded delivery or International Insured, I can accept NO RESPONSIBILITY if the item does not arrive, I obtain a certificate of posting for ALL uninsured items so this is a proof of posting, but I would stress that MAIL THEFT appears to unfortunately be on the increase and it is advised to pay the extra for peace of mind on posting.

For this reason ALL winning auctions over £25.00 will have to be insured at the applicable rate, this is a hassle for me, but it safeguards us all and I am sure most will appreciate it, if you do not like my terms then please DO NOT BID.

Mailing Details: All records are sent in purpose mailers with the record taken out of the sleeve with professional stiffners for extra protection (if space allows),

More expensive items are also inserted into a de-luxe heavy duty padded bag AS WELL to give that extra protection. I want ALL my items to arrive to their destination in the same condition they leave me. 

I accept cash payments worldwide in UK Pounds Sterling, Euros or US Dollars - but this at the senders own risk. Please send registered and insured if this method is chosen. I cannot accept responsibility if any cash payments do not turn up. This system is very reliable and rarely goes astray. The same goes for any shipped uninsured item, the PO do not compensate for uninsured items whether or not a certificate of posting is obtained.

Overseas bidders please note conversion rates for Pounds to Dollars and Pounds to Euros will be charged at 1.90 & 1.60 to cover PayPal or cash conversion costs.

PLEASE NOTE: Any PayPal user can now pay me with UK Sterling if they wish with no need to convert to US dollars (although they still can if they wish to). Any instant PayPal transaction from anywhere in the world will mean the item will be sent immediately - it makes deals fast and very efficient. Paypal is FREE on my auctions, no HIDDEN CHARGES.

Potential Bidders: Please do not bid if you have negative feedback unless checking first, I will cancel any bids I feel are timewasters. I now only accept PayPal, International money orders or cash from overseas bidders (UK Sterling, US dollars or Euros). Cash, cheques, postal orders and PayPal is fine from the UK. I allow maximum 3 days for communication and 7 days for payment to arrive - if this does not happen I will relist the item and may send negative feedback unless an explanation is given. Fast deals get quick feedback from me. Any questions - please ask. Please keep watch on my Ebay I have many other interesting items coming soon including major rarities. 

My Guarantee: I would like to make it clear if any winning bidder is not satisfied with their purchase I will offer a complete refund minus the post costs as long as the item detail has been read and understood. I will not refund if any defect detail is clearly stated on the details and missed by the buyer. I still endeavor to play all the items in their entirety for grading if at all possible.  The goods MUST be returned within seven days or this is void.

REMEMBER: I GUARANTEE ALL MY ITEMS AND A NO QUIBBLE REFUND SO BID WITH CONFIDENCE.

Happy Bidding

Tom
