Sealed CULT “DREAMTIME” LP NOS UK Import Vinyl Beggars Banquet 

CULT 

"DREAMTIME"

Thank you for viewing my sale for a time capsule, new old stock (NOS), sealed copy of the Cult classic album “Dreamtime.” Pressed in England, this is an unplayed album imported from the UK by JEM Records in Mint condition. 

Dreamtime is the debut studio album by The Cult. Released on 10 September 1984, it reached #21 in the UK and was later certified silver by the BPI after having sold 60,000 copies. The first single, “SPIRITWALKER", reached #1 on the UK Indie Chart. Dreamtime has subsequently been reissued (or in some cases bootlegged) in roughly 30 countries worldwide.

Lyrics to the song "Horse Nation" are taken almost verbatim from the book Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. “Spiritwalker" is a reference to shamanism, while "Dreamtime" is inspired by the Australian Aborigines and 'Butterflies' is a reference to the Hopi ceremonial butterfly dance. "A Flower in the Desert" is a reworking of the Southern Death Cult's song "Flowers in the Forest".

Multiple record purchases? Please use eBay shopping cart or purchase your items and wait for me to send you an invoice that will combine shipping prior to making payment through eBay.

All our vinyl LPs and 45s listed on eBay are from a 50 year personal collection of record albums and singles we starting accumulating back in the mid-1960s, dedicated to preserving original pressings in the best over-all condition possible. Our New Old Stock (NOS) inventory, mostly consisting of import pressings, come from our long closed record shops: Discount Record Shop and Choice Recordings of Washington, DC and Half-Thoughts Records of Manasquan, NJ. Our beloved record collection is a mix of Rock, Roots Music, 60’s Garage, Psychedelic, Soul, R&B, Blues, Punk, New Wave, Metal, Girl Groups, Picture Discs, Classical, Choral, Opera, Jazz, International/World Beat, Movie Soundtracks, Musicals, Spoken Word, and Audiophile pressings in all genres.  We are offering a number of rock and soul singles. Back in the day we would compare sound quality between multiple editions of the same titles to keep the best sounding copies for ourselves. All records were played on high-end turntables with reasonably fresh stylus and carefully monitored tracking force & azimuth. 

Please read through description and condition sections of this advertisement carefully to be sure you want the item prior to ordering.

RECORD GRADING: At this time we are only selling NM to VG+ and many NOS (new old stock).

New Old Stock (NOS): Preserved in my time vault. If the record is sealed or never been opened, it is considered Mint. If the cover does not appear as new, then we will rate it per below.

Mint (M): The record or cover must appear as new.

Near Mint (NM): This generally means the vinyl is in pristine condition with only one or two slight marks that will not affect playback. A NM cover will may show slight signs of wear or one or two marks but still looks fresh and crisp.

Near Mint Minus (NM-): This slightly below the NM grade with more slight imperfection or slight cover wear, perhaps an out of square or bent corner, but generally close to flawless. 

Very Good Plus Plus (VG++) Record may have sleeve marks from being pulled in and out of a cover. Typically these marks will only be viewable under a bright light bulb. Generally will play through like a NM or NM- with little to no surface noise. Cover may have storage wear, tiny age spots, toning or creasing - nothing distracting or major.

Very Good Plus (VG+) 

Cut-Outs: Also known as Over Stocks are always noted since they are generally marked with a slightly cut corner or a notch in the cover placed near a corner. We never list a cut or notched corner higher than NM- due to the overstock marking process. 

45 Cut-Outs: Generally have a hole drilled through the label and we only purchased these type of cutouts when the record was too tempting to pass-up. Again, we identify singles that were drilled.

PAYMENT: eBay requires payment via PayPal, so please pay at time of purchase and, in return, we will make every effort to rush your shipment to you.

PACKAGING: Our records are professionally packed in thick, sturdy cardboard record mailers or envelopes & clearly labeled FRAGILE & DO NOT BEND. To date, we have not experienced damage in transit.

SHIPPING: For 12” albums, we give the choice of USPS Media Mail or Priority Insured; Post Office loss or damage at your risk if you do not select the Priority option, which also reduces transit time by ? and less exposure to damage. For certain high-priced records, we simply do not offer the option of Media Mail for obvious reasons. 

RETURNS: Generally we our very cautious when accepting returns (shipping at your cost) and, at this time, will only replace a defective item with the same recording.

FEEDBACK: We leave feedback for every sale and hope you will do the same for us. For confident purchasing, please take a look at our feedback, we make every effort to provide accurate descriptions of condition and large, detailed photos.

QUESTIONS: We are happy to answer any queation you may have BEFORE placeing a bid or making a purchase!

All vinyl records are properly stored and well kept. Over time, some covers tone (i.e., get slightly yellow or brown along the edges),which we will try to describe in our description.
