Description
The experience of buying records on Ebay is ruined if, when they arrive, you discover that they are either not in the condition stated or have been damaged in the post! For this reason I describe all my items in detail, and only post using strong sturdy packaging in a 'box' mailer with the record outside the sleeve to avoid seam-splitting. They are also from a non-smoking and pet-free home.
I accept returns and offer a full refund if you are not happy with your purchase.
Morrissey - 'Under The Influence' and 'Ringleader Of The Tormentors' Vinyl LPs - 2003/2006
Catalogue nos. UTILP001 - DMCWorld, and ATKLP016 - Attack/Sanctuary
Morrissey vinyl LPs are becoming harder and harder to obtain in collectable condition, as copies in good condition are increasingly bought up by Morrissey and Smiths collectors. This auction is for two such LPs which are each unplayed and in terrific condition as they have both been carefully stored since having been bought new by myself. The first of these, 'Under The Influence', is not strictly a Morrissey LP as it contains no Morrissey tracks, but rather an interesting compilation of tracks chosen by Morrissey himself; the tracks being by artists who have influenced his music. The playlist makes for fascinating listening, and there are many surprise choices in there. This is a double LP and is quite difficult to find on vinyl, suggesting that it was not pressed in high numbers. Of particular interest to collectors is the Morrissey sleeve artwork in which he is photographed in front of 'The Grave Maurice' from the same session that yielded the sleeve artwork for the 'Sunny' single. The second LP is 'Ringleader Of The Tormentors', a true Morrissey studio album released in 2006. Again, this is difficult to get hold of as a vinyl release with the CD format being produced in far higher numbers. It is especially lavishly packaged, in a gatefold sleeve with a different inner photograph and a monogrammed inner sleeve, and is a delight to own.Both records for 'Under The Influence' are in mint condition, having been carefully stored and never played. The outer sleeve is in near mint condition, with only the very mildest of corner 'rubbing' in a few places which is barely visible. There is no writing or damage anywhere on the sleeve and the edges/spine are sharp and unworn. In the case of 'Ringleader Of The Tormentors', the heavyweight vinyl is in near mint condition, with just the lightest of superficial surface marks on the vinyl which are only visible if held to the light. The blue monogrammed inner sleeve is also in near mint condition with no splits or creases. The gatefold outer sleeve is in near mint condition, having sharp edges and corners with barely even any 'corner wear' to spoil its new appearance. There is just the small beginning of one minor crease halfway down the spine on the front of the sleeve, but otherwise there are no creases or significant signs of wear. Please see the accompanying photos for more detail; note that the 'Ebay ID' lettering is just on the pictures and not on the items themselves.
All my auctions start at 1P and have NO RESERVE. They are all 100% genuine, original versions. Some are in mint/new condition and some are used; all will go to the highest bidder. I offer a money-back guarantee if anything is described incorrectly. Postage and Packing is 3.50 in the UK for untracked and uninsured standard postage, this is subsidised by myself and the actual costs to me will usually be higher. Please do consider paying the extra 70p for tracked postage since there is nothing that can be done to find out what happened if the parcel is lost when standard postage is chosen. Shipping costs are greater for overseas buyers, but still subsidised and very good value; please check prices by using the options above or feel free to ask. Extra items are sent at no extra postage charge to the buyer (see below). I always take great care to package items well with strong mailing materials.See my other auctions for related rare items here. If multiple auctions are won at the same time (within a week), I will charge only the postage cost for the heaviest item and pay the remainder myself. This is the case wherever you live. If you are planning to bid, but cannot be around at the end of the auction, I have found this free site to be useful; note that I am not affiliated with the site in any way!
