Description
Ongoing sale of selected items from my personal collection of vinyl and CDs, the vast majority of which have been owned by me from new and have been safely stored in a smoke-free home. I try to describe each item as accurately as possible (vinyl will normally be play-tested) and therefore don't routinely accept returns - but I'm happy to offer a no quibble refund in the unlikely event that significant defects are found which were not called out in the listing.
Any questions please ask. Thanks for looking!
This item....
- Job lot of the following 4 vinyl LPs by prog legends Yes - early UK pressings unless noted - covers graded first:
- Fragile (ATLANTIC K 50009) VG/EX - with stapled photo insert; matrices A//1, B//1
- Close To The Edge (ATLANTIC K 50012) VG/VG - with lyric inner & embossed sleeve, matrices A1, B1
- Tales From Topographic Oceans (ATL 800001) EX/EX - matrices AII, BIII, CI, DI, & 'Manufactured in Germany'
- Relayer (ATLANTIC K 50096) EX/EX - with lyric inner; matrices A1, B6
- I'm also including a print of each album's artwork ('Prog' magazine freebies)
- All outer and inner sleeves are in at least VG condition, mostly EX (please see pics). The Close To The Edge inner has a couple of flaws not obvious from the pics: a 1cm tear on the opening edge and a 2cm split on the bottom edge (I've added a polyliner to stop this getting worse)
- All records have some light marks but from memory play at least VG, again mostly EX - there might just be the occasional isolated light pop/click and a little light ambient noise in a couple of quiet sections. There are certainly no deep audible scratches. (If I get time to play-test I'll add an update with the results)
- All labels are nice and clean with just a few spindle marks
- UPDATE: Close To The Edge play-test results - Side 1: There are a handful of light isolated clicks in the middle section of the title track and a similar number of repeated clicks in the fade-out. Side 2: A couple of light clicks at the beginning of And You And I and a short bit of light crackle later in the track. Overall I'd say it's a very strong VG.
- Records will be dispatched in a high quality custom mailer with additional cardboard within the package
- Unless the item is new and still sealed I'll remove the record from both the outer sleeve and any printed inner in order to prevent seam splits in transit
- UK - I'll combine postage if buying more than one item - please wait for invoice
- Rest of the world - Please note that I only sell overseas via ebay's Global Shipping Programme, which sets postages rates and does not appear to include the facility to combine p&p costs for multiple purchases. Please don't bid if you're not prepared to accept GSP costs or process - thanks
- And I'm not currently shipping to Belarus, Ukraine or the Russian Federation
