INCREDIBLY RARE UK MONO  VARIAITION WITHOUT THE  " SOLD IN U.K.... "  L@@K.......

FOR BIDDERS OUTSIDE UK THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT...  non uk bidders please read my notes about international postage below.....returns policy only applies to UK outside of UK buyer has to cover the return postage! FOR INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT due to ebays revised " buyer " protection policy even more sellers will start to refuse to sell internationally. I however will still sell internationally but i reserve the right to not to complete any international transaction if the buyer has any bad or witheld feedback or for any other reason that I choose and this is especially so for items that sell for near to GBP 150 or higher. So if you are an international bidder and win one of my auctions and then find I have completed the transaction elsewhere this will be because the new ebay/paypal policy now makes it almost impossible for sellers to sell safely overseas, thank you

FOR BIDDERS WITH ZERO FEEDBACK THIS IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT...   I have recently been the victim of serveral spurious bids from several different members (usually based in the Russian Federation). Please note that if you win any of my items and have zero feedback I will ask you for immediate payment or for you to email and immediately confirm that you were a genuine bidder. Failiure to meet either of those critiera will result in the item being  offered to the next highest bidder without further delay. thank you. 

THESE Y/B MONO PRESSINGS TEND TO BE MORE SORT AFTER THAN THEIR STEREO COUNTERPARTS, NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE RARER ( THEY AREN'T ) BUT BECAUSE THE MIX IS SO DIFFERENT IN PLACES TO THE STEREO ONE THAT WE HAVE BECOME MORE FAMILIAR WITH.

HOWEVER IN AROUND JULY 1969 EMI DROPPED THE " SOLD IN UK..."TXT FROM THEIR LABELS, AT THE SAME TIME EMI WERE ALSO IN THE PROCESS OF WINDING DOWN THE PRESSING OF ALL MONO. THEY WERE ALSO ALREADY IN THE PROCESS OF SWITICHING TO THE BOXED EMI LABELS ( AND HAD ALREADY COMPLETED THIS AT MANY OF PARLOPHONES EMI STABLEMATE'S LIKE COLUMBIA ). CONSEQUENTLY EVEN STEREO YELLOW BLACK LABELS WITHOUT THE SOLD IN UK TXT ARE SCARCE BUT MONO'S ARE ALSO IMPOSSIBLE. THIS IS ONE SUCH MONO COPY

 GOOD LUCK TO ALL BIDDERS!

EBAY NOW REQUIRE THAT FREE POSTAGE IS ONE OF THE POSTAGE METHODS OFFERED IN THIS CATAGORY, HOWEVER WHAT EBAY DO NOT SAY  ( EXCEPT IN THE SMALL PRINT ) IS THAT THEY WILL OFFER NO PROTECTION TO SELLERS AGAINST FRAUDULANT CLAIMS OF NON RECEIPT UNLESS SELLERS SEND VIA THE MORE EXPENSIVE SIGNED FOR DELIVERY. A DOUBLE WHAMMY.......

ACCORDINGLY AS I AM EFFECTIVELY FORCED TO SEND VIA RECORDED/SIGNED FOR DELIVERY TO PROTECT MYSELF AGAINST SUCH FRAUD SO I AM ALSO FORCED TO CHARGE ACCORDINGLY.   SO FOR UK BIDDERS ALL ITEMS THAT SELL ABOVE GBP 9.99 WILL HAVE TO BE SENT VIA DOMESTIC RECORDED MAIL WHICH IS GBP 3.99 FOR A SINGLE LP AND GBP 4.99 FOR A DOUBLE LP. THIS IS TO PREVENT FRAUDULANT CLAIMS OF NON RECEIPT SO IF YOU ARE UNHAPPY WITH THIS PLEASE FEEL FREE NOT TO BID  INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLS SEE MY NOTES BELOW

 (Please note that whilst I try to endeavour to adhere to strict RC gradings I will never describe ANYTHING AS MINT even when I think it to be so. As far as I am concerned any secondhand item by definition cannot be mint. However if I believe an item to be Mint  I will instead either use the terms Near Mint, mint minus, or in archive or vault condition. When I use these terms you know that in my opinion this is in effect a de-facto Mint grade )

INSURANCE INCLUDED IN P&P PRICE DEPENDING ON FINAL SALE VALUE...

Dont forget to take a look at my other items. Please feel free to contact me with any queries you may have.

                                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I ONLY DO A COUPLE OF RUNS A WEEK TO THE POST OFFICE BUT MY ITEMS ARE ALWAYS DISPATCHED WELL WITHIN ONE CALENDAR WEEK OF PAYMENT BEING RECEIVED. I APOLOGISE IN ADVANCE TO THOSE BUYERS WHO SEEM TO EXPECT THEIR ITEM TO ARRIVE THE NEXT DAY, IF YOU WANT TO CHECK WHEN AN ITEM WAS SENT JUST PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AND I WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO TELL YOU!! (SOME PEOPLE DO MAKE YOU LAUGH, FOR ITEMS I BUY I ONLY NORMALLY GET CONCERNED AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND EVEN AFTER THAT THEN ONLY POLIETELY ENQUIRE IF AND WHEN THE ITEM WAS SENT).

                                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PAYMENTS BY PAYPAL ARE PREFERRED BUT I ALSO ACCEPT OTHER METHODS. I ALSO POST WORLDWIDE (PLS APPLY FOR RATES) BUT DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH A DISREPUTABLE BUYER IN JAPAN (EBAY WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO NAME THEM) , FOR ALL PAYMENTS MADE VIA PAYPAL THE ITEM WILL ONLY BE SENT BOTH TO THE UK AND WORLDWIDE BY RECORDED OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR DELIVERY. THIS IS TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY ATTEMPT TO CLAIM BACK THE PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL EVEN AFTER ACTUALLY HAVING RECEIVED THE ITEM.

THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS HAD THE RESULT OF INCREASING MY COSTS FOR POSTING AND PACKING AND I AM VERY SORRY FOR THIS BUT PAYPAL OFFER NO PROTECTION FOR SELLERS UNLESS THERE IS PROOF OF DELIVERY!! PROOF OF POSTING WOULD SEEM INSUFFICIENT TO THEM AND I HAVE FOUND THIS OUT THE HARD WAY..

DUE TO THE BEHAVIOUR OF THIS SAME BUYER PAYPAL PAYMENTS WILL ALSO NOT BE ACCEPTED FROM BUYERS WHO DO NOT ALLOW THEIR FEEDBACK TO READ, SO IF YOU FALL INTO THIS CATEGORY PLEASE DO NOT BID ON MY ITEMS UNLESS YOU CAN PAY BY ANOTHER METHOD…….COST VIA INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR MAIL TO EUROPE FOR A SINGLE LP IS USUALLY GBP 8.99 AND TO THE USA/REST OF THE WORLD GBP 12.99 FOR A SINGLE LP AND 15.99 FOR A DOUBLE BASED ON A "DECLARED" VALUE OF UNDER GBP 50...
