PROTEX DON'T RING ME UP 2nd PRESS ROUGH TRADE 45 PUNK KBD

	£		24
	$		32

This is PROTEX with Don't Ring Me Up (+ two other tracks) on Rough Trade. This is the second pressing; the first press on Good Vibrations is quite scarce (as are most of the early GV 45s)

Please read the description and look at the photos. This should give a comprehensive indication of the condition of the item. I try not to over-grade.

THE SLEEVE
The flimsy white paper sleeve is 30-odd years old but the only real detriment is ringwear and some light rippling. There is no writing, no rips, no seam splits etc. White sleeves like this are difficult to keep clean and intact. This one has survived the Punk Rock Wars with only minimal wear. See the photos; there's nothing to hide.

THE VINYL
The vinyl is visually excellent and barely marked but...this is a used record from the 1970s that was released independently; it is in very good condition but, honestly...if you're expecting MFSL quality on 180g virgin vinyl and are the kind of tw4t who asks for a refund because there is 2 seconds of crackle on the run-in then please, do me a favour and don't bother bidding on this and wasting my time.

Item Photos

I aim to be honest and accurate about the items I sell. When I consider it appropriate, the item will be play tested prior to being listed. I will also play test on request and post a review in the listing. In some cases I may even have a sound file available but this will only usually be for rare and high-value items.

I provide a full, no-questions-asked, money-back guarantee on all items I sell. If you aren't satisfied with the item for any reason I will refund your money when I receive the item back in the condition in which it was posted to the buyer.

I photograph everything after packing and before posting so no-one can claim I mailed it smashed, bent, warped or otherwise damaged. Which I never do…

If an item is smashed, bent, warped etc it will be mentioned in the listing.

If you have any questions about this item, just ask. I try to be helpful. Thank you.

ITEMS FOR DELIVERY IN THE UK WILL ONLY BE SENT BY FIRST CLASS SIGNED-FOR MAIL.

All items are sent properly and strongly packaged in a mailer with a protective outer plastic sleeve, corrugated inner stiffeners, and a paper inner sleeve.

Postage and Packing costs are comprised of the EXACT cost the Post Office charges me, plus a SMALL packing cost, which is ALWAYS less than I pay to buy the packing. I pack as well as possible, sometimes better than that. I’ve had vinyl arrive from eBay sellers that’s been wrapped in brown paper and that’s it! And charged a small fortune for P &P for the privilege…

Please bear this in mind when ‘voting’ on my P & P costs. If you’re in the UK you can hardly complain about an item’s P & P charges after this year’s large price increases for postage. Packing costs me a MINIMUM of £1 per item; buyers pay only a small part of that cost. It would be MUCH higher if I charged packing at cost, never mind if I also tried to profit from it, as many do…

ONCE AN ITEM HAS BEEN POSTED (AND I ALWAYS OBTAIN PROOF OF POSTING) IT IS NO LONGER MY RESPONSIBILITY! IF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT SAFE DELIVERY OF AN ITEM THAT YOU WIN THEN I SUGGEST THAT YOU PAY FOR A SIGNED-FOR SERVICE. I WILL NOT AND CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ITEMS WHICH DO NOT ARRIVE AT THEIR DESTINATION ONCE THEY HAVE BEEN POSTED!

UK First Class ‘Signed For’ = £2.50

‘Signed For’ is to protect YOU as a buyer and ME as a seller so I can confirm whether the record has arrived and so you can track its progress.

Europe by Airmail = £3.50 (BUT SEE BELOW!)

Rest of the World by Airmail = £4.75 (BUT SEE BELOW!)
(e.g. USA, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, or anywhere that is NOT UK or Europe)

I reserve the right to insist that an item is posted using either the ‘International Signed-For’ service or the ‘Airsure’ service to Europe or Rest of World and paid for by the buyer accordingly.

‘International Signed-For’ will usually apply if, for example, the item has sold for a sum above £25; or if the buyer has a low or dubious feedback score; or if the buyer is in a country which has, in my experience and that of others I know, a poor record of safe postal delivery. I DO NOT POST TO ITALY, RUSSIA or ANYWHERE in SOUTH AMERICA unless a Signed–For Service is used and paid for by the buyer! No exceptions!

‘International Signed-For’ costs an extra £5.15 IN ADDITION to the standard airmail costs shown above. Please note also that if the item sells for more than £50 there is an EXTRA £2.60 to add for insurance. These are NOT my charges; they are the prices charged by the Post Office. See:

http://www.royalmail.com/delivery/delivery-options-international/international-signed

It may apply in other circumstances too and at my discretion.

Depending on your country and the final sale price of the item, I may insist that the Airsure service is used instead.

For applicable non-EU destinations, Airsure costs £5.40 plus the standard airmail costs shown above. If the item sells for more than £50 there is also an EXTRA £2.60 to add for insurance. It is a fully-tracked service.

For applicable EU destinations, please contact me for a price or go to: http://www.royalmail.com/delivery/delivery-options-international/airsure/prices

Please note that Airsure postage in the EU also incurs a tax of 20%. This is a government tax and is unavoidable!
THESE ARE NOT MY CHARGES. THEY ARE THE PRICES CHARGED BY THE POST OFFICE IN THE U.K.

IF YOU ARE THE WINNING BIDDER AND YOU WANT FEEDBACK LEFT FOR YOU THEN PLEASE HAVE THE COURTESY TO LEAVE IT FOR ME FIRST. I WILL THEN LEAVE IT FOR YOU.

By bidding on this item you are taken to have read and agreed to all of the above.
