STONE ROSES - Stone Roses UK 1989 Silvertone LP

Back to listing after an enforced delay for a house move. These records are all from my personal collection built up over almost 50 years. Some were bought new, others pre-owned so condition will vary. Please do read and understand the detailed description which is my honest personal assessment - you can always check how good or bad that is by checking my feedback. My attempt at grading is based on the commonly used Record Collector grading system. Questions are welcome if anything is unclear. Happy bidding.

This listing is for the Stone Roses debut album

Stone Roses
Stone Roses
UK Ore label
1989
Cat Number: ORE LP 702
Mode: Stereo

Condition:
Cover: Unlaminated single sleeve is in decent condition. There's some creasing and rubbing to the edges, noticeably the black bits. Rubbing along the spine edge has affected some of the spine text but it's just about legible. A name written on trhe front. There's a picture inner but it does not belong with this album, so effectively there's no picture inner
Labels: Silvertone labels, one red one black, are bright and clean. A number of spindle marks but no writing or stickers.
Vinyl: One side has a number of the customary paper scrapes. The other side has more noticeable surface scrapes - not deep but looking like a magnified version of the usual sleeve removal marks. Remarkably these don't really interfere with play except for a bit of audible background crackle at the beginning during that very subdued lead in to the first track. That apart, it plays very well throughout - but I can't grade it above a VG because those marks are visible.

Overall:
A decent filler copy of this album - I'd guess that it might be professionally graded as (cover / vinyl) VG- / VG

Terms:
Please note that I try to test-play at least part of each record before listing. I played almost all of this one, but if you do discover a problem which I might have missed, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will do all I can to rectify the situation.

Postage: I always make a loss on postage. Ebay now surcharge sellers 10% of postage costs for which there can be no justification - I refuse to pass this levy on to buyers, so you only pay post and packing, they get to rip me off, not you.

Current UK internal weight ranges allow two or three LPs to be posted first class for the same cost as one. Second class charges can currently cover 5 or 6 albums but for 4-6 I'll use a second mailer. Approximate prices for normal postage with new custom packaging -

UK £3-69 first class for up to 1kg (1,2 or 3 average weight LPs), £3-19 second class for 1 - 3 or £3-58 for 4 - 6 LP's. Double LP's count as two

Rest of world £8.09 + £2.70 each additional item

These amounts include estimated actual Royal Mail cost for first class or air mail, plus 39p for cost of packaging material (a brand new custom mailer with stiffener).

International bidders welcome, but postage to some locations will be handled by the eBay global shipping program - unfortunately I have no control over the onward shipping cost, just the UK leg which will cost as above.

I'm happy to hold records for a short while if you wish to bid on more and combine shipment, but it helps if you can let me know particularly when bidding on items separated by a few days.

The time has come to sell my whole vinyl collection as I know it won't be appreciated by my daughter or grandchildren, so I'm shifting it myself and hope I find good homes for it. Listed items are selected at random so there should be a decent if not particularly logical mix coming up over the next few months if you keep an eye on my other items now and in the future.

Thank you to all who have already given new homes to my beloved vinyl, and may you continue to enjoy these records for years to come.
