Description
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I am selling off my collection of original first pressing vinyl albums to supplement a house move. It's a pity to let them go but the money is needed for essential repairs. I have adopted the Record Collector magazine’s Grading Guide to describe the condition and I have also play-checked each album, so you can be confident about buying. The pictures are also of the actual album you are bidding on.
Overseas bidders are very welcome. (Please see ‘Notes’ below for postage options.)
UK postage for up to 7 disks is just £3.17
Worldwide postage for 1 album is just £6.00

Authenticity Of This Copy (Barcode And Other Identifiers)
This is identifiable as the earliest 1968 UK first pressing because it's in Mono and carries the catalogue number 582 020 on the reverse of the record cover and 582020 on the disk label. The labels also say "Made in England". This is an early first pressing, both sides being the first cut of the first pressing, making it collectible, especially in this condition.
Cat Ref: 582 020 MONO (Catalog No. 582020 also appears on the disc label)
Matrix / Runout (Side 1, stamped): 582020 A//1?420 6 2
Matrix / Runout (Side 2, stamped): 582020 B?1 420 6
Condition (using Record Collector Magazine grading)
When describing the condition I have adopted the 'Record Collector' magazine’s Grading Guide. I have also play-checked each album and I have tried to provide good quality large pictures of the actual album you are bidding on. Please take the time to click through them and satisfy yourself of the quality of this LP. The pictures should speak for themselves.
Vinyl = EXCELLENT: The record has only been played a few times and is still in excellent condition with just one or two very faint wispy lines on the vinyl surface, which are only just visible in bright daylight. It is very close to being 'near mint' grade. Sound reproduction is superb, with absolutely no discernible deterioration in playback quality and the pressing is nice and quiet too, with very little background noise.
Cover = EXCELLENT: The cover sleeve is in excellent condition. There is almost no wear to the edges and only very minor wear to the corners. The only other minor flaws are a few of the usual small edge creases and a bit of light rubbing to the back cover from storage. But that is all. It is extremely good considering its age.
Notes
I take care to package records properly in rigid cardboard, thereby making every effort to ensure they arrive to you in the same condition that they were sent.

If you would like another service e.g. signed and/or tracked please ask before paying and I will send you an adjusted eBay invoice. I only ever charge at cost with eBay’s 10% commission on top. I do not charge for packaging.
Worldwide postage for 1 album is just £6.00. This is by Royal Mail International Economy, which comes with £20.00 insurance against loss or damage. If you want a different service or if you buy more than one album please choose a postage option from the table below and send me a message. I will then send you an eBay invoice with the adjusted postage cost.
