A LOW,REALISTIC £20 STARTING PRICE WITH MORE GREAT CAPTAIN BEEFHEART AND OTHER 1960s LPs FROM ME ON EBAY.
Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.
Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.
The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!
This is my honest grading!!!
Please see my listening policy below.
I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
