Please read the Terms and Conditions lower in the listing about payment, postage costs, packaging and insurance BEFORE placing a bid. Thank you.

I am happy to answer any questions, but please read the listing carefully before sending a question or placing a bid. I try to provide comprehensive details and information in every listing so the answers to most questions should be found below.

Please note: I am currently trialling the use of re-cycled packaging - see below for full details.

******************************************

This is one the very first copies of the withdrawn first pressing of Revolver.  It has the very earliest stampers 1 R and 1 G (the second and first) making this one of the first few hundred made.

This withdrawn pressing features a longer, different mix of Tomorrow Never Knows which was only pressed for one day before being withdrawn.

Detailed description
Vinyl: There are just a few hairlines, scuffs and light marks visible on either side. The whole record plays through perfectly with absolutely no jumps, skips or skating and for the most part there is very little to detract from the music. There are a handful of places where you get a soft repetive click but these are never intrusive and don't last very long. The vinyl has a warp which does not interfere at all with the record's playability but which causes an audible swish in the run ins and silent grooves. However it does not distort the music in any way and is not really noticeable during the songs except occasionally in the very quiet parts. The record plays with a big clear mono sound and can be listened to and enjoyed all the way through.
Labels: Both labels look great with no damage, writing, stickers etc and just typical light spindle marking.
Sleeve: The sleeve has no damage, writing, splits, tears or stickers etc. There are some laminate creases, particularly near the spine, and slight discolouration and just light signs of age and use.
Edge wear: minimal
Corner wear: moderate
Inner sleeve: Original 'Patents applied for' plain inner sleeve.

Matrix numbers and stampers:
Side 1: XEX 605-2    1   R
Side 2: XEX 606-1    1   G

Detracting features not covered above - none.

I have a 100% feedback rating because my records are always described accurately and fairly. All photographs are of the actual item you will get. I will always do my best to point out any blemishes which might detract from the item.

Please check out my other items and take advantage of reduced postage costs for multiple buys.

 
Unless stated otherwise, vinyl is visually graded. I play grade records where possible but there just aren't enough hours in the day to play them all, so I usually restrict play grades to collectors' items and rare records which are particularly hard to find in top audio condition or other records where a visual inspection has identified flaws on the playing surface. A visual grading will identify physical flaws (such as scratches) and will determine whether a record has been cared-for properly, but it will not detect static or crackle caused by dust in the grooves or other invisible sources. A visual grading will provide an indication of how a record might play, but it is not a guarantee of the record's sound quality, even if it looks perfect.

First pressings and originals: Many of the records I sell are first pressings and, if this is the case, I will usually identify them as such and may include the relevant matrix information etc in the description. However, sometimes I cannot be certain whether a record is a first pressing or not. In these instances I will often use the word 'original' to identify a pressing which I think might be a first pressing, but do not know for sure (but which is certainly NOT a recent pressing or audiophile release etc). If you specifically want a first pressing, and know how to identify it, please ask the relevant questions before you bid.

Feel free to ask any questions about the item (but please don’t leave it to the last minute as I may not get a chance to reply).

POSTAGE & PACKING

I care about the records I sell and believe that they need to be carefully and securely packaged to ensure that they survive their journey through the post. Vinyl is removed from the outer sleeve for posting.

I am currently trialling the use of re-cycled packaging. This means a lower P&P cost for you and less waste for everyone. All records will still be packed to the same high standard but the packaging may have been previously used and/or made from cardboard boxes. It might not look as professional, but will still do the same job.

If you want your record sent using a brand new record mailer with brand new stiffeners this can be done for an additional 80 pence. Just let me know and I'll send a new invoice.

******************************************

UK P&P costs

UK Standard service - items are sent quickly and securely using first class recorded post, which includes insurance up to £39. The cost for this is as follows:

First LP or 12" = £3.00, each additional LP or 12" add £0.80

UK Economy service - If the value of your order is below £39 you can choose to have your item sent by second class post (unrecorded). However, please be aware that this service can take up to a week to reach you and in the event of a claim for loss or damage, Royal Mail will not reimburse the full value of your order. The cost for this is as follows:

First LP or 12" = £2.20, each additional LP or 12" add £0.70

UK Fully insured service - Any order valued over £39 will be sent fully insured using Royal Mail Special Delivery and the total cost of this will be £6.50.  Multiple-item orders weighing more than 1kg or items valued over £500 will cost slightly more to insure, so please wait for my invoice before paying.

******************************************

Airmail (uninsured) to any country OUTSIDE the UK

Europe

First LP or 12" = £4.20, each additional LP or 12" add £1.80.

 

Rest of the world (anywhere outside Europe)

First LP or 12" = £6.70, each additional LP or 12" add £3.20.

Insurance

For overseas orders, I include insurance on all invoices. This is additional to the costs above. If your order is valued under £39 you can request a new invoice without insurance (but in the event of a claim for loss or damage, Royal Mail will not reimburse the full value). Overseas orders valued over £39 will ONLY be sent fully insured.

Insurance costs are additional to the airmail costs above and are as follows:

• Overseas orders valued up to £39 can be insured for an additional £3.70
• Overseas orders valued between £39 and £500 will be insured for an additional £6.00
• Overseas orders valued over £500, please contact me.

Overseas orders weighing more than 2kg will be split into two or more packages as appropriate so they can be sent using Royal Mail's Small Packet Rate, so please wait for my invoice on larger multiple purchases.

Customs declaration for overseas orders: Please note that for overseas orders outside the EU I need to complete a customs declaration and must enter the value of the package on the declaration.
