Description
DESCRIPTION: This is a UK stereo pressing of Fairport Convention's self-titled first album on the Polydor label. This is the first pressing with A//1 B//1 matrix numbers and a fully-laminated cover (which is a real pain to photograph, so apologies for the camera and window reflections!).
The vinyl looks near-mint under normal lighting. Under a bright LED light, I see a few faint, wispy sleeve-removal hairlines on side A, but these do absolutely nothing. The vinyl plays beautifully - loud and clear with great sound.
The front of the cover has an area of laminate-lift adjacent to the spine. Thre are a couple of small laminate creases on the front and one on the rear adjacent to the opening. There is a faint impression of the record on both the front and the rear of the cover, but the seams are clean. The spine is slightly squashed, thus contributing to the laminate-lift, but the spine text is clear and legible.
Comes complete with the original poly-lined inner sleeve with the correct '078' (July 1968) date code, which has all seams intact. GRADING: Unless a record is sealed, I play-grade everything on a high-end turntable. My grading is strict, so even if you are buying a 'VG+' record from me, the chances are that you are actually buying a very nice keeper copy. Despite this, mistakes can happen; so, if you feel that I haven't graded something properly, please contact me immediately. As a collector of vinyl myself, I know how important customer satisfaction is and I will do everything I can to resolve any issues.
SHIPPING: I do not use eBay's Global Shipping Program; the shipping costs quoted in my listings are the actual cost of shipping from the UK. I do not profit from shipping and I always refund any overpayment for shipping. I do ship internationally, but note that the shipping cost quoted for international shipping is for the US only. For other destinations, please contact me for a shipping quote or, if you have won an auction, please wait for my invoice before paying.
PACKAGING: I do not charge for packaging costs. All records are packed well in sturdy record mailers with additional cardboard for protection. To prevent any seam splits during transit, I always ensure that records are packed outside of their covers.
