HARRISON " ALL THINGS MUST PASS " UK 1ST RARE LABELS

	£		66
	$		87

NOT ONLY A SUPERB EXAMPLE WITH MEGA RARE UNCORRECTED " RECORDED IN ENGLAND " LABEL ERRORS COMPLETE WITH UNSPLIT INNERS & POSTER   L@@K...

.

WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED IN 1970 MOST OF THE COMPONENTS WERE MADE IN THE U.S.A. INCLUDING THE BOX INNERS AND POSTER. ONLY THE VINYL WAS PRESSED IN THE U.K.

HOWEVER CLEARLY THE ARTWORK FOR THE LABELS WAS ALSO IMPORTED FROM THE U.S.A. AS SOME VERY EARLY UK PRESSED ISSUES HAVE THE " RECORDED IN ENGLAND " TEXT ON THE BOTTOM THAT CAPITOL OFTEN USED FOR BEATLES RELEASES ! SEE EXAMPLE BELOW :-

THIS WAS SWIFTLY CORRECTED PROBABLY PRE-RELEASE AND THE CAPITOL " RECORDED IN ENGLAND " REMOVED SEE CORRECTED LABEL BELOW

I HAVE ONLY SEEN A HANDFUL OF UK LABELS WITH THIS TEXT ON  AND THIS COPY HAS IT ON 3 OUT OF THE 5 LABELS !

WHATS MORE THIS HAS A DEDICATION ON THE INSIDE GATEFOLD FOR XMAS 1970, LESS THAN A MONTH AFTER THIS LP WAS RELEASED. THIS WAS CLEARLY A VERY EARLY COPY ALTHOUGH MANY OF THE U.S MADE COMPONENTS SUCH AS THE POSTER AND THE BOX WERE LATER MADE IN THE U.K. ( EXCEPT THE INNERS WHICH CONTINUED TO BE MANUFACTURED IN THE U.S.A. )

THIS COPY ALSO HAS A STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE BOX WITH " MADE IN U.S.A. " IN A TINY CIRCLE ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT OF THE INSIDE LID, LATER ONES HAVE IT IN FULL IN THE BOTTOM OF THE CREDITS. 

THIS IS A VERY EARLY AND VERY RARE EXAMPLE - WITH A LOW START AND NO RESERVE THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO GRAB A BARGIN

 UK TRIPLE LP DISPATCH COSTS G 5.99  

NON UK BUYERS PLEASE NOTE MY COMMENTS REGARDING INTERNATIONAL MAIL BELOW...RETURNS POLICY ONLY APPLICABLE TO UK..RETURNS OUTSIDE UK BUYER WILL HAVE TO COVER ALL POSTAGE COSTS Furthermore international bidders please also note that due to ebays new "buyer protection " policy many sellers now refuse to sell internationally anymore. I am not one of those sellers yer but please note I do now reserve the right to refuse to complete a sale to any international bidder that may have low or bad feedback or for any other reason and this is especially so if the item sells for over GBP 100, like I say this is purely a result of ebay/paypals new policy that make it now even harder for sellers to  trade safely internationally. Please bare this in mind if you win an item but find that it has been offered first instead to a domestic UK Bidder.

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. 

ALL MY RECORDS ARE USUALLY SOLD ON VISUAL GRADINGS ONLY, THEREFORE, WITH THE SINGULAR EXCEPT ION OF THOSE RARE OCCASSIONS WHERE I DO STATE THEY HAVE BEEN PLAY GRADED, AS ALL DISCS ARE 2ND HAND ANY PLAYING DEFECTS ARE THEREFORE CAVIAT EMPTOR AND SO NON REFUNDABLE. I ONLY REFUND  WHERE AN ACTUAL GRADING OF MINE IS DISPUTED

OUTER BOX:  THESE BOXES USUALLY STORED BADLY AND BECOME GRUBBY AND TATTY VERY QUICKLY, HOWEVER THIS IS A SUPER EXAMPLE WITH  A LOVELY READABLE SPINE WHICH USUALLY IS OFTEN FADED AWAY - A LOVELY EXAMPLE WHICH I WOULD GRADE AS  EXCELLENT

TRACKS:-

(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 )

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 (PIGGIESSS - I AM HAPPY 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…….EUROPE INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR MAIL COSTS ARE USUALLY GBP 8.99 FOR A SINGLE LP AND FOR USA/REST OF WORLD IT IS USUALLY GBP 12.99 FOR A SINGLE AND GBP 15.99 FOR A DOUBLE LP
