Al et Al “Strange Affair”

Arny’s Shack  AS 047, UK, 1981.

If you’re familiar with this album you’ll know that this is very rare, selling for up to £250. This is featured in the Pokora “3001 Record Collector Dreams” book of rare records.

Track listing by request.

I grade all my records aurally, playing them all the way through, sometimes twice to make sure I’ve missed nothing. I don’t grade by appearance.

Vinyl: VG, There is some light surface noise at times, one medium level click on each side, and occasional light crackling. Overall the sound is bright and clear, with no scratches, pops or skips.

Cover: EX-, Unlaminated, with light ringwear on the front when viewed at an angle. There is some light wear to the bottom right corner.

Inner Sleeve: New, white.

Labels: EX. 

All records will be posted in mailers with cardboard stiffeners. Compensation up to £250 is included in the postage, but if the selling price exceeds this figure then the cost might be higher. I always obtain proof of posting but if your item goes missing then I will not be able to refund you until 15 working days from the date of posting, as this is when Royal Mail class an item as lost. If your item hasn't been delivered after this time I will give you full refund after receipt of information required for the claim form.

NB. Due to disability I can usually only get to a post office once a week, however I will endeavour to post this as soon as possible.

Please ask for international postal costs.

A brief introduction. I have been selling unwanted possessions on ebay for some years now. I'm now starting to list part of my record collection which goes back to the early 60s. There will be a variety of genres and rarities such as 1st. pressings of "Up for the Down Stroke", "Let it Be" and "Threads of Life" to be listed in the coming months.

All records will be graded using the Record Collector guidelines (see below). If in doubt I will err on the side of caution. Every record will be play graded after being cleaned on a Clearaudio Smart Matrix record cleaning machine. You will not find expressions such as "Wow" "Best you'll ever see" or "Amazing" in my listings. I am proud of my 100% feedback and hope that will remain the case…customer satisfaction is paramount to me. I offer a 7 day return policy if the item is damaged or not as described. If you believe that my description is innacurate, please let me know.
 
Below is some of the feedback that I've received from record sales:

Record Collector Rare Price Guide - Grading System

(M) MINT: -

The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. 

The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. 

Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

(VG) VERY GOOD: -

Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

(G) GOOD: -

The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. 

The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.

The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. 

The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
