OCKHAM'S RECORD COLLECTION   Description:

'Amalgamation' of O.P.M.C. is another Pokora listed raraity, which seems to stay very much underrated
due to people not knowing much of this record. But how beautiful this record is! And so RARE, even here
in The Netherlands, it's just impossible to get this one! Sometimes this record is offered in the German
version on Bellaphon, but NEVER on the original Dutch Pink Elephant label!!! A real Dutch Nugget!!

Musically I would categorize this one under folk-psych, and than the very best folk-psych avalaible in
the market. Please listen tot he sound clip in case you've never heard of these guys. Anyhow, looking
at the condition of the sleeve, I rate that as a strong VG++: just some wear around the edges and corners,
a small mark at the front cover (top right) and very slight ring wear (see pictures below).
The vinyl is near perfect with only some very faint hairlines visible under bright light, so visually NEAR MINT.
Playgraded I grade side A a solid NEAR MINT (only very slight background noise now and then)
and side B a MINT- (as new).

General Info:

Please note that I try to rate conservatively, which is contrary to my average experience on eBay. Unfortunately many items at eBay nowadays are being sold highly overrated! I buy quite some records via eBay, but so often it is disappointing. Items rated as MINT- and just being EX or even less! So, I try to do my best to fight this trend on eBay by rating carefully and describing precisely what the condition of the item is. Please let me know if I over- (or under- :-) ) rated my item. And be aware that I want happy buyers, so in case your not satisfied, please contact me before giving any negative feedback and I'm sure we find a solution.

PLEASE SEE MY OTHER AUCTIONS. I AM A RECORD COLLECTOR WITH FAR TOO MANY ITEMS IN MY COLLECTION (~15,000 LP's). I'M SELLING ALL THE ITEMS OF WHICH I HAVE MORE THAN ONE COPY AND/OR THE ITEMS I'M NOT INTERESTED IN ANYMORE. MY OWN COLLECTION IS VERY BROAD: CLASSICAL MUSIC, JAZZ, BLUES, PUNK, INDIE, WAVE, PSYCH & PROG ROCK, KRAUTROCK, AVANT GARDE, ETC. SO KEEP LOOKING, BECAUSE THERE MAY BE SOMETHING FOR ALL OF YOU ON OFFER! I TRY TO OFFER ITEMS EVERY WEEK, BUT DUE TO LOTS OF TRAVELLING FOR MY DAYTIME JOB, I SOMETIMES SKIP A FEW WEEKS. I TRY TO GRADE MY ITEMS AS BEST I CAN, BUT NO ONE IS PERFECT, SO LET ME KNOW IF YOU FEEL I WAS WRONG. THANKS FOR LOOKING!

Rating Scheme:

10 - MINT- = As new, but opened and most probably played although this is not noticable. Archive copy.

09 - NEAR MINT = Almost new, vinyl shiny black, only a few thin sleeve lines at the most on the vinyl, sleeve just perfect with only the slightest signs of use, perfect sound without background noise or ticks from scratches. Archive copy, no real need to upgrade anymore.

08 - EXCELLENT = Few  sleeve lines or superficial marks are possible, but these are non audible, the sleeve may have light signs of use (for example very small corner wear) but looks still perfect, the sound is still almost perfect, with maybe some very slight background noise and/or some light ticks. Contrary to common practice on eBay an EX is closer to NM then to VG! This is still an archivable copy!

07 - VERY GOOD +(+) = This is a normal used copy, which you find most often. Still a very good playable copy with great sound quality, but you will notice marks, stains or lines on the vinyl and/or sleeve. Sometimes there's some writing on the sleeve or a small mark of a sticker. Small creases are possible, slight ring wear, etc.

06 - VERY GOOD = This is a bit more heavily used, but still ok to play and to have. May have just a bit more of the characteristics mentioned above.

05 - VERY GOOD -(-)  = A VG item is JUST ok to still play or to have, but in the end you really would want to upgrade this item to a better quality. Still playable, but with clear background noise and the occasional tick. No jumps though! And not ruined! Sleeve has very clear signs of wear/use.

04 - GOOD = Anything below acceptable in normal circumstances. I only offer rare items in this category or under the circumstance that only the sleeve or vinyl has this low category, so that buyers may have interest to upgrade part of their own item.

Shipping:

Internationaal Pakket Basis:

Europe  2007 Priority Standard 250-500 g. € 5,70 € 4,25 500-2000 g. € 11,00 € 8,00


Outside Europe 2007 Priority Standard 250-500 g. € 11,00 € 8,00 500-2000 g. € 21,50 € 13,50
Please note that the above are the shipping rates of the shipping company I use (TNT Post). One record is normally just below 500 grams, but sometimes it just goes over. You may choose for Standard Delivery to save costs, but it will take longer to reach you. Although I have never had a package lost, you may want extra certainty. This is possible with Registered Mail, which will cost extra. I will always use Registered Mail for the more expensive items. Please always wait for the invoice before making your payment! Although I have never lost a package, I still want you to note and agree on the principle that I can't take responsibility for successful shipping after I have handed the package over to the shipping company, since normal shipping below 2kg can't be tracked. In case you don't agree with this principle, then please don't bid on my items. In case you want me to be fully responsible for the shipment, please ask me to register (and insure) your package against extra shipping costs and I'm happy to do so. You will not run any risk then and in case of a lost registered package, I will fully refund the value to you.

In case you are not happy with my rating of the item(s) bought, please contact me immediately. In case we can't find a solution on the price of the item, I will always take it back and give a full refund after receipt (and checking if the item does not differ from the original and/or has not been ruined in the mean time). The only costs for the buyer are for shipping the item(s) back.
