Description
Band: Prince Buster & All Stars
Record: Try A Little Tenderness / All My Loving
Label: FAB Records (FAB.35)
Year: 1968
THE ITEM FOR SALE IS THE ACTUAL ITEM. I DO NOT USE STOCK PHOTOS!
These 1960s Ska and Reggae records have usually had some hammer and mistreatment down the years and are often found without centres, with writing on the labels, and with other cosmetic damage. Or worse (check popsike for evidence). The vinyl does have scuffs, hairline marks and light scratches but nothing I would consider serious. While it certainly isn't mint, it is, in my opinion, a presentable example of the genre generally, and of this release in particular.
I have photographed this in both natural light, without flash (as I think this provides a more realistic image), and with flash, as this is very unforgiving and shows up every flaw, usually making it look worse than it does in 'real life'. See the photos below - there's nothing to hide. You may wish to check other examples on popsike to see it in much worse condition. But still selling for shitloads...
This is an original and genuine record that is rare and in-demand. It was play tested by me on 31 March 2012 using a new stylus. Both sides played right through with NO sticking and NO jumping. There was some background crackle. This was most audible on the run-in and run-out – nothing new there! Otherwise, the music generally masked any crackle; there was nothing obtrusive.
The record lies flat and there is NO warping – see photos.
The four-prong centre is fully intact and the labels have NO writing, NO stickers, NO sticker residue etc. Just the usual spindle marks etc. are present.
IF YOU BID ON THIS AND YOU HAVE A LOW OR DUBIOUS FEEDBACK SCORE, OR ARE OTHERWISE NOT GENUINE, THEN I WILL CANCEL YOUR BID WITHOUT NOTICE.
IF YOU ARE THE DICKLESS WONDER FROM MEXICO OUT TO SABOTAGE IT FOR GENUINE BIDDERS, YOU’RE AN ARSEHOLE! YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. AND SO DO WE!
I THINK YOU ALL KNOW WHAT I’M ON ABOUT...-
ITEMS FOR DELIVERY IN THE UK WILL ONLY BE SENT BY FIRST CLASS SIGNED-FOR MAIL.
Postage and packing costs are as follows (with discounts for multiple purchases). All items are sent properly and strongly packaged in a mailer with a protective outer plastic sleeve, corrugated inner stiffeners, paper inner sleeve and with the disc outside the sleeve to prevent spine splitting.
UK First Class ‘Signed For’ = £2.50
‘Signed For’ is to protect YOU as a buyer and ME as a seller so I can confirm whether the record has arrived and so you can track its progress.
Europe by Airmail = £2.60 (BUT SEE BELOW!)
Rest of the World by Airmail = £3.60 (BUT SEE BELOW!)
(e.g. USA, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, or anywhere that is NOT UK or Europe)
I reserve the right to insist that an item is posted by ‘International Signed For’ to Europe or Rest of World and paid for by the buyer accordingly. It costs an extra £4.95 IN ADDITION to standard airmail costs.
It is likely to apply if, for example, the item has sold for a sum above £25, or the buyer has a low or dubious feedback score, or is in a country which has, in my experience and that of others I know, a poor record of safe postal delivery (e.g. Italy, Brazil, Russia and the former USSR to name but a few. That is not an exhaustive list.).
It may apply in other circumstances too and solely at my discretion. It is to protect us both!
PLEASE DO NOT PAY UNTIL I SEND AN INVOICE!
IF YOU DON’T ACCEPT OR AGREE TO ANY OF THE ABOVE THEN PLEASE DO NOT BID!
IF YOU ARE THE WINNING BIDDER AND YOU WANT FEEDBACK LEFT FOR YOU THEN PLEASE HAVE THE COURTESY TO LEAVE IT FOR ME FIRST. I WILL THEN LEAVE IT FOR YOU.
By bidding on this item you are taken to have read and agreed to all of the above.
Thank you! Merci! Gracias! Danke! Dank Je! Grazie! Obrigado! ???????! Terima Kasih!

If I have missed out ‘Thank You’ in your language, let me know and I will include it!

Here are a few more pictures...
This item will now only be posted using outside the UK using the 'Airsure' service. I will calculate the full cost when I know where the winning bidder lives; but, in general, it costs £5.30 PLUS standard Airmail Postage outside of EU.
For postage within the EU there is also TAX (V.A.T.) at 20% to add (but Airmail prices are lower). THIS IS A UK GOVERNMENT CHARGE! IT IS NOT MY CHARGE! THERE IS NO WAY TO ESCAPE IT! CHEERS GIDEON, YOU TOSSER!
The item + packing weigh approximately 150g. Strong and secure packing is free and I will also pay the insurance costs myself (£2.50). Depending on the final sale price we can hopefully come to an arrangement regarding postal charges.
There is no way I will send this via standard airmail!

There is a very high level of interest being shown in this record. I just want everyone to be under no illusions about its condition. It is not mint by any means and I make no claims for it to be. Of the photos shown, the ones that show the most accurate representation are numbers 6, 8 and 11 as they show some of the surface marks that are present. I prefer the pictures and description to do a better job of describing it. But the centre is intact and there's no writing on the label...and it plays OK too. I'll post more pictures soon.
Postage and Packing is now FREE anywhere in the UK, or in the world using Royal Mail's 'Airsure' service. The item "will be sent on the earliest flight and receive priority handling"...with "confirmation of delivery via the Royal Mail website." For more information, please visit www.royalmail.com/airsure
If you are one of the many people 'watching' this item and thinking of bidding, may I suggest that you get your bid in; there is very strong likelihood that this auction will be sabotaged by the anus from South America. What I mean is that he will bid a ridiculously high price, with no intention of paying, at the very last second of the auction. He has sabotaged many auctions for this type of music. Unless, of course, ebay has finally done the right thing and banned him and all his aliases. I suspect not, however...
