Description

1971 UK pressing of esoteric masterpiece on Dawn Records.

Gatefold sleeve has wear and marks, but is intact and in reasonable condition. Spine is legible but a little worn. There is writing inside the gatefold (see pictures). The vinyl record has numerous light marks, none of which effect play other than light crackles or pops, HOWEVER, on the first track on Side 1 - 'Diana' there is a real problem. It plays well for the first half of the song and then there are scratches that run with the groove so are hard to see, but must be deep as they cause a few small skips and loud clicks then sharp static noises. Thankfully this is only for the second half of Diana, there are a few clicks before the 2nd song starts then it plays well thereafter. Side 2 plays nicely with just the odd light pop. No inner sheet sorry! Due to the issues I am starting the auction for the price I paid for it, I think this is a fair figure considering the rarity of this LP, but please bear the problem mentioned in mind before bidding.

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ: The record shall be sent to the lucky winner very well packaged and correctly stored outside of the sleeve. I ONLY SEND ITEMS REGISTERED! No exceptions! Collection for cash is welcomed. Shipping to UK is £5.30 first class signed for, to the EU is £14 tracked and to the rest of the world is £19 tracked. If you are not happy with the postage costs then please do NOT bid! I only use LP boxes that fit 1 or 2 records, so each item won will be sent individually unless you are willing to pay for the extra packaging. Please bear this in mind before bidding on more than one item. The postage costs may seem high but I actually make a loss. Royal Mail has recently increased their prices and I am forced to send registered due to Ebay’s policy of always refunding the buyer if the item should go ‘missing’. Unfortunately, Ebay now take 10% of all postage costs in the final fee and Paypal take a further 5%. Tracked mail to the EU costs £13 and worldwide costs £17. So, the postage cost plus 15% is £13 + £1.95 = £14.95 and £17 + £2.55 = £19.55. This means I am in fact under charging and not passing on the cost for packaging or my time and I am often waiting for over 40 minutes in a busy Post Office. Therefore, I will not lower the postage price, please do not ask. Any other questions please enquire.

Many thanks for looking.
