APHRODITE'S CHILD IT'S FIVE O'CLOCK RARE UK 1st PRESS A//1 & B//1 2384-005

	£		19
	$		25

Continuing on the downsizing of my eclectic vinyl record collection and for auction here is my copy of Aphrodite's Child's 1969 UK 1st press of "It's Five O'Clock". On Polydor label ~ 2384-005 which has Made In England on it [so this is not the less rare French version]!!
Vinyl still plays very well with no deep scratches, crackles or pops despite the surface scratches and marks ~ it just needs a good deep clean! 
No Run Out details on Discogs so I have inserted them below [as best as I can read them!!] as they sure made a mess in putting the right ones on.   Full details as plagiarised from Discogs [to save me typing it all] as follows:

Condition as per report above & photographs which form part of the listing.
Please Note: I only clean lightly with a branded vinyl [record] cleaner and an anti static cloth. New owners will be best to use their favoured product(s) to clean. As this is quite old, it will benefit from a more deep clean to remove any deep down dust trapped in the grooves.
Will be posted out 1st class signed for via Royal Mail ~ packaged using a bespoke Vinyl cardboard envelope with cardboard stiffener. 
A small note about postage and packaging costs: actual 1st Class recorded costs £4.55. The bespoke envelopes cost me 48p & cardboard inner costs approx 20p which comes to £5.23!! So, of the £5 charged here, I only receive approx £4.33 after e-Bay & PayPal's fees. As such, I actually make a fiscal loss of 90p on each posting without taking into account any tissue paper [acid free] and / or bubble wrapping used, my time, effort and the trip to the Post Office etc!! Just thought it worthy of a mention due to some feedback mark downs against P&P costs.
I re-iterate, I do not make any profit from P&P and any I inadvertently overcharge is always refunded via PayPal.
Where possible [size / weight etc] I always offer combined shipping. Please let me know if you require this. 
Home collection is always offered to save post & packing costs. 
International bidding is OK but ONLY via the e-Bay GSP. I know this is very expensive for some but safeguards buyers and sellers alike. The shipping fees are clearly displayed on the listing if you are not looking via e-Bay UK. I can not by-pass or over-ride these costs so please do not ask. GSP also does not allow any combined postage for multiple purchases so again, please don,t ask as I can not over ride this either.
No post to PO Box No's or BFPOs either ~ sorry.
No returns on this item thanks - unless seriously not as described. 
No scammers please ~ it will be posted tracked & proof of delivery received!!
Listed with low starting price; no reserve and no buy it now set!! 
Past & current values can usually be worked out via e-Bay sales history &/or Discogs Statistics!!
Sold as described and photographed.
Any questions, please feel free to ask and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
Please note: I am NOT a dealer, but a private seller who is just downsizing from nearly 45+ years of collecting stuff and having retired last year I'm selling on items we no longer have space to store and to raise much needed "retirement" funds. 
Most of my items deserve to have a new owner & a home where they can continue to be looked after, enjoyed and saved for future generations.
Please check out my other eclectic items we are parting with - something may tickle your fancy :).
Thanks for looking and reading all the above [if you did :)] ~ happy e-Baying and good luck if bidding :).
