I will declare a lower amount on the customs form for all countries so as to avoid/decrease high import charges.  However, in the case of the EU all purchases are subject to VAT which eBay collect at point of sale.  No shipping to Russia currently.
I recently acquired a stunning Rolling Stones collection and I will listing them over the next 2/3 months.  The vinyls are in superb condition as are the covers.

The Rolling Stones : No Stone Unturned 1W/1W Blue Boxed Stereo Press

This stereo pressing plays to a superb standard with no interference.  There is just one very light tick on each side but that hardly qualifies as interference!  The clarity and depth of the audio is second and as per so many Stones records from this stunning collection it is obvious that it has hardly ever been played judging by the audio quality and the pristine look of the vinyl which incidentally has no spindle wear.  This is without doubt another FINAL UPGRADE archive pressing.

The cover is stunning!  It has been preserved so well and has no wear basically.  The original inner sleeve is also in excellent condition with very little wear, just a little creasing.

This is a first pressing on the blue boxed label and is clearly an early one with a single stamper on each side.

Visual description

The vinyl is in beautiful condition with an immaculate jet-black glossy sheen and no marks or scratches.  Under a bright light I can only locate a couple of barely visible hairlines and it is obvious it has hardly been played, if at all!  The run out grooves are pristine as are the blue boxed Decca labels which have no marking and no spindle wear.

Play grading

'Poison Ivy' plays with great quality from start to finish with no background of any kind and I am pleased to say the rest of the side plays with stunning audio also.  No need to dissect each track but the classic 'Child Of The Moon' deserves a mention as the sonic quality here cannot be faulted, such a strong version.  The final track 'Sad Day' just has one very light tick on the intro and that is the only background across the entire side!  I will grade it as Mint- and the rest as Mint that is an honest assessment of the audio.

---------------------------------------------------------- 

'Money' on S2 has no intrusion and plays with that typical 'raw' Stones sound that you find on the early pressings.  The quieter 'Congratulations' plays so clearly with not even a dust tick.  I'm not sure Stones' live tracks transfer too well to vinyl but 'I'm Moving On' nonetheless plays with impeccable clarity and power and the instrumental '2120 South Michigan Avenue' is more or less perfect with just one very quiet static at the beginning.  The final two tracks play with great clarity and depth and... no interference.  'Who's Driving Your Plane' is very strong indeed, great power and definition for a final track.  Even with that one mega light tick on the fourth track I still think Mint is deserved across the board.

The Cover & Inner Sleeve

The cover is in fantastic condition with no obvious wear and looks practically 'as new' no exaggeration.  The edges and spine have no wear and if I was being super critical there are only a couple of tiny corner creases but so tiny and hardly worth a mention!  The opening edge is pristine and the front and back cover are incredibly clean with no marking.  A stunning example that is Near Mint at the very least.

The original poly-lined inner sleeve has only minimal creasing and light age related fading down one edge.

Postage & Packaging

I will only send items items worldwide via tracked shipping.  This provides 'peace of mind' in case of loss or damage.  The shipping costs are shown below and combined shipping is always offered.  Any over-payment will always be refunded.

The Royal Mail only insure up to a value of £250 so if an item sells for more it may be wise to use a courier service (e.g. Parcelforce or DPD).  An extra insurance premium will be required but I will not know the exact amount until the final sale price is known.  Because of this I will sometimes have to estimate the cost and this will be shown in the listing.  Please wait for the invoice before making payment and if you have any questions please feel free to ask.  Many thanks.

All vinyls are packaged in strong over-sized custom made mailers with plenty of extra cardboard protection.  They are placed inside separate poly-lined inners outside the cover so as to avoid seam splits in transit and then placed inside a PVC sleeve to provide even more protection.  I pride myself on my high quality packaging as my feed confirms and if any customer has any specific requirements I am more than happy to help.

The mailers I use cost £1.00 each and I will use anything between 3-5 cardboard stiffeners which cost approx £0.18 each.  There is also the cost of the poly-lined inner and PVC sleeve to consider, it all adds up!  Not forgetting that eBay take 10% of the shipping fee also!!
