Description

This is a serious Cure rarity but very hard to grade (as all flexi discs are).  At some point in time this has been folded over from one side to the centre ... I have tried to show this as much as possible in the photos so please have a very close look at them.  As such, I can't guarantee that it won't jump or similar on your deck and this is a no returns auction.  I have play tested it on 2 turntables (a Rega and a Numark) and it plays through on both of them without any sticks or skips but the bit where the fold was does make a sound (a kind of 'phut') every revolution (although you don't really notice it once the music gets going).  Other than that there's a bit of crackle that you would expect with flexis of any age.  Apparently this was the only format in which this version of Lament was released.

I recommend playing these by putting them on top of a normal vinyl record and putting a small coin on the centre by the way.... just in case you win this and aren't familiar with these ... I expect you are though.

Here’s the general stuff:


Records are graded according to the Rare Record Price Guide / Record Collector magazine guidelines. If you are unsure of these please check them out on the Record Collector web site before bidding - its available on their home page at recordcollectormag.com.


If you win more than one auction please wait for me to send an invoice before paying as I will need to work out the postage . In other words, I do multiple item postage discounts. I always obtain proof of posting at the Post Office. Normally I can send 3 or 4 records for the same price as 1.


Generally I dispatch the first working day after payment is received. Occasionally though, due to work commitments, it might be a couple of days.


All records are sent out well packaged, at the very least with stiffeners and with a note such as ‘Fragile contains vinyl records, please do not bend’ or similar written on the outside.


I now only accept payment by Paypal or cash on pick-up, no cheques any more I’m afraid.


All sales outside the UK have shipping via the eBay Global Distribution Centre and it is they that determine the cost, not I (in fact, I have no idea how much each overseas buyer is charged for shipping).



Once you’ve received and used the item you’ve won please leave feedback for me and I will, of course, do the same for you. Generally I leave feedback just after I have sent the item out.


In the highly unlikely event of dissatisfaction with the item that has been won please contact me direct in the first instance and I‘m sure we would be able to negotiate something in a co-operative manner. I endeavour to describe accurately and take all precautions with packaging. I believe my feedback record supports the sound service I’ve provided to people who have ‘won’ auctions.
