Please see all my listings. I can do a postage reduction for bulk purchases. All vinyls are sent in maximum protection mailers.

Further to recent feedback, all vinyls will also be removed from sleeves and all contents will be surrounded in bubble wrap.

International bidders - I have just sent two items and have seen mailing costs almost double. As a result, I have made a generic shipping charge of £10.00 however I will offer an individual price to every auction winner based on weight of package and location. I will have my local post office calculate each price.

EU deliveries will cost less than this amount. Please contact me letting me know where you live and I'll let you know the price.

UK bidders - I have increased postage cost to £4.50 this will hopefully be enough to cover all costs.

Due to starting up a new business I am selling my collectable vinyl from the late 80's/90's.

This is the original 1995 double vinyl release of the classic LP by Genius/GZA of the Wu Tang Clan. It was released on Geffen Records with serial GEF 24813.

The sleeve shows some signs of wear (VG) and the vinyl itself is in excellent condition apart from a few small marks that make no audible difference on my Linn turntable (EX).

The album, famous for the complex lyrical style and extensive Shaolin Kung Fu samples is not only regarded as one of the greatest Wu Tang releases but also one of the greatest hip hop LP's recorded.

Including verses from Method Man, Ol Dirty Bastard and other Wu Tang members it features the singles I Gotcha Back, Cold World, Liquid Swords and Shadowboxin.

ITEM CONDITION - items are graded according to Record Collector definitions - see below:

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.

Please contact me if you have any questions about this listed record and any of the others .

As with all my vinyl, this is up for auction so will go to the highest bidder. Good luck.
