Andwellas Dream - Love And Poetry 

(CBS S63373 UK LP 1969)

 

This is an original UK Stereo LP pressing. It has a fully laminated sleeve which has a small gold "Stereo" sticker on the rear. It has its original company "CBS" paper inner sleeve. This advertises other CBS albums available at the time. The record is pressed on thick vinyl & has orange CBS labels. It has 1st press A1/ B1 matrix stampers. A great late 1960's UK Psych-Rock-Prog LP. Highly regarded and very rare too. This LP hardly ever turns up!

Sleeve: There are a couple of mild to more moderate creases in the top right corner. This has caused a small area of laminate lifting on the front too. There is some light, mild or more moderate rubbing wear at the sleeve opening. There is some light or very mild laminate lifting at the front spine area. There is some light, mild or very mild ringwear. There is a small crease at the bottom corner tip area at the sleeve opening. There is a very tiny stain on the rear sleeve. VG condition.

Vinyl: Unfortunately this record is quite well played. However, it is still a very serviceable copy. There are considerable mild, more moderate or moderate sleeve rubs, or surface rub marks, on some areas. These can be seen under a strong light. The paper inner sleeve, over time, has left some light, mild or very mild dull surface marks on some areas. There are a very few small 0.5 cm to 1.5 cm surface marks or hairline marks. Good+ condition. The labels are in Near Excellent condition and show mild spindle wear. The company CBS paper inner sleeve is in Near Excellent condition. It shows light, mild or very mild ringwear & fading. It has no seam splits.

I have play tested this LP in its entirety & it plays Very Good+ to Near Excellent overall, & Excellent in some places. There are about 6 mild clicks on the instrumental start of the track "Lost A Number Found A King" on Side 1. Otherwise, there is some light, very mild or very minor crackle in some quieter places. Overall, a very reasonable audio copy.


  Traceable insurance is already included in the stated P&P price for this listing.


Discount is given on P&P for multiple purchases. I shall always weigh combined purchases to get a completely accurate price.  So please wait for the invoice to be sent before paying. Please see below for a more detailed description.

    >>  Grading Information All grading is very strict & adheres to 'Record Collector' specifications. However, I have fine tuned them & they are explained below. All vinyl is examined closely under a strong light & play tested on excellent quality audio equipment.

MINT Condition = This is as perfect a copy as you are likely to find. The cover will show no, or next to no, wear. The vinyl will be unplayed or very, very near unplayed.

NEAR MINT Condition = Nearly mint, just slightly under. There maybe some minor paper/ inner sleeve rubs that can only be seen under strong light. This disc has been played only a few times & has been extremely well  cared for. The cover is nearly perfect - Minimal wear only.

EX Condition = An excellent copy will show only mild, or minor, signs of use. There will be light, or very mild, sleeve rubs that can only be seen under strong light. There may be a very small & minor hairline mark in some instances. Play will be excellent or better. There may be some light, or very light, crackle in a few quieter places. There will be no clicks or pops. The sleeve will show mild, or minor, rubbing wear & ringwear only.

NEAR EX Condition = This has been played a few more times but it has been well cared for. There will be mild sleeve rubs which can be seen under a strong light. There may be a couple of minor, or light, hairline marks. Playback will be generally excellent. There may be some light or mild crackle in some quieter places. The cover will show mild rubbing wear, ringwear or creasing

VG Condition = Most records that have been quite well played, but reasonably well cared for, tend to fit into this category. This is probably the most varied of the gradings so I have elaborated below.

There may be mild to more moderate sleeve rubs which can only be seen under a strong light. There may be a few light hairline marks but nothing too bad. A quite well played but serviceable copy. Playback will be very agreeable overall. There will be light or mild crackle in some places. There may also be a few light clicks. A more thorough description will always be on the listing. The record will certainly not be trashed!

The cover will show more noticeable signs of storage or use. There will be mild to more moderate rubbing wear on some edges There could be fading, ringwear or a minor seam split. There could be some mild creasing or mild sticker tears.

Please note that I also use "+" or "-" symbols for this grading. A plus symbol is obviously at the top end of "Very Good" & is really not far from being in "near excellent" condition. The minus symbol obviously means it is at the lower end. This will mean that it is near to being in "Good+" condition. 
>>  Postage Rates

AN INVOICE WILL BE SENT TO YOU VERY SOON AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS. PLEASE WAIT FOR THIS BEFORE PAYING.

Royal Mail have very recently increased their postage rates. So I have revised my postage costs to reflect their increases. (Please note that these prices include packaging costs too) 
Double LPs are classed as two LPs. Also posters, inserts, etc.. can increase postage costs. One parcel must not exceed 2kg (approximately 4-6 LPS).

All records will be sent in high quality vinyl mailers with at least two card stiffeners either side of the LP or 7" Single. I use a cruciform box for larger orders (3-6 LPs). All parcels will be marked "Fragile" and dispatch time will generally be between 1-3 days after payment.

I will also remove the vinyl from the sleeve & place them in a re-sealable polythene sleeve. In order to prevent seam splits. Depending on the inner sleeve; I often remove the vinyl from the inner sleeve & place it in a separate plain paper, or polythene-lined, plain inner sleeve. I am very conscientious and careful when packaging your LP(s).

I consider my postage & packaging costs to be very transparent & very fair. Packaging costs will generally be between £0.80 to £1.50. I am not adding any further costs for handling, etc...

If you are uncertain about any of the above, or just simply want some information regarding any item, please do not hesitate to contact me. I welcome any questions.
