NOT ONLY A MUCH SOUGHT AFTER MONO TOP OPENING UK WHITE ALBUM ( NUMBER 0119914 ) WITH RARE KT TAX STAMPS ON BOTH DISCS BUT EVEN THIS PAILS INTO INSIGNIFACANCE COMPARED TO THE MATRIX NUMBER OF -3 FOR SIDE THREE FOR THIS LP L@@K

 MONO COPIES WERE PROBABLY ONLY RUN ONCE FOR THIS LP AND PROBABLY THEN ONLY PRE-RELEASE SO MATRIX -1 IS THE NORM FOR MONO'S . INDEED UP UNTIL RECENTLY I WAS NOT AWARE THAT WERE EVEN ANY MATRIX -2 'S FOR MONO BUT I NOW KNOW THAT THERE ARE, INDEED ALTHOUGH RARER THAN MATRIX -1  THE -2'S ARE NOT THAT UNCOMMON.

HOWEVER I HAVE ASKED AROUND AND NOBODY I KNOW HAS YET HEARD OF , LET ALONE SEEN , A MATRIX -3 FOR THIS LP AND HERE ONE IS, A MATRIX -3 FOR SIDE THREE ONLY !!

THIS MAY BE AN IMPORTANT FIND, THIS IS NOT THE BEST MONO WA I HAVE EVER SOLD BUT IT'S IMPORTANCE IS IN THAT MATRIX, WHERE THERE IS ONETHEE MUST BE OTHERS BUT I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY BEFORE AND NEITHER HAS ANYBODY ELSE I KNOW SO FAR.

SO YOU MAY NEED TO GET THIS TO FILL YOUR COLLECTION UNTIL YOU CAN FIND A BETTER ONE, TROUBLE IS WILL YOU EVER FIND ANOTHER LET ALONE A BETTER ONE...

FINALLY THIS ALSO CARRIES KT STAMPS FOR BOTH DISCS, EXCEPTIONALLY RARE FOR A WHITE ALBUM AS EMI DISCONTINUED STAMPING THE CENTRES EARLIER IN 1968, HOWEVER THIS IS NOT ANYTHING LIKE AS RARE AS THAT IMPOSSIBLE MATRIX !!

VINYL VISUAL : ALL FOUR SIDES RETAIN MUCH OF THEIR  SHEEN, DISC ONE LOOKS BETTER THAN DISC TWO ON FIRST INSPECTION BUT BOTH DISCS HAVE SOME FEELABLE MARKS AT THE START OF THEIR FIRST SIDES.

NON UK BUYERS PLEASE NOTE MY COMMENTS REGARDING INTERNATIONAL MAIL BELOW...RETURNS POLICY ONLY APPLICABLE TO UK..RETURNS OUTSIDE UK BUYER WILL HAVE TO COVER ALL POSTAGE COSTSFurthermore international bidders please also note that due to ebays new "buyer protection " policy many sellers now refuse to sell internationally anymore. I am not one of those sellers yer but please note I do now reserve the right to refuse to complete a sale to any international bidder that may have low or bad feedback or for any other reason and this is especially so if the item sells for over GBP 100, like I say this is purely a result of ebay/paypals new policy that make it now even harder for sellers to  trade safely internationally. Please bare this in mind if you win an item but find that it has been offered first instead to a domestic UK Bidder.

DOMESTIC BIDDERS PLEASE NOT ALL ITEMS HAVE TO BE SENT VIA SIGNED FOR DELIVERY WHICH FOR A DOUBLE LP IS GBP 4.99, THIS IS TO PREVENT FRAUDULANT CLIAMS OF NON RECEIPT, IF YOU ARE UNHAPPY WITH THIS PLEASE FEEL FREE NOT TO BID! INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLS SEE NOTES BELOW

(Please note that whilst I try to endeavour to adhere to strict RC gradings I will never describe ANYTHING AS MINT even when I think it to be so. As far as I am concerned any secondhand item by definition cannot be mint. However if I believe an item to be Mint  I will instead either use the terms Near Mint, mint minus, or in archive or vault condition. When I use these terms you know that in my opinion this is in effect a de-facto Mint grade )

INSURANCE INCLUDED IN P&P PRICE DEPENDING ON FINAL SALE VALUE...

                                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I ONLY DO A COUPLE OF RUNS A WEEK TO THE POST OFFICE BUT MY ITEMS ARE ALWAYS DISPATCHED WELL WITHIN ONE CALENDAR WEEK OF PAYMENT BEING RECEIVED. I APOLOGISE IN ADVANCE TO THOSE BUYERS WHO SEEM TO EXPECT THEIR ITEM TO ARRIVE THE NEXT DAY, IF YOU WANT TO CHECK WHEN AN ITEM WAS SENT JUST PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AND I WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO TELL YOU!! (SOME PEOPLE DO MAKE YOU LAUGH, FOR ITEMS I BUY I ONLY NORMALLY GET CONCERNED AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND EVEN AFTER THAT THEN ONLY POLIETELY ENQUIRE IF AND WHEN THE ITEM WAS SENT).

                                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PAYMENTS BY PAYPAL ARE PREFERRED BUT I ALSO ACCEPT OTHER METHODS. I ALSO POST WORLDWIDE (PLS APPLY FOR RATES) BUT DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH A DISREPUTABLE BUYER IN JAPAN (EBAY WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO NAME THEM) , FOR ALL PAYMENTS MADE VIA PAYPAL THE ITEM WILL ONLY BE SENT BOTH TO THE UK AND WORLDWIDE BY RECORDED OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR DELIVERY. THIS IS TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY ATTEMPT TO CLAIM BACK THE PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL EVEN AFTER ACTUALLY HAVING RECEIVED THE ITEM.

THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS HAD THE RESULT OF INCREASING MY COSTS FOR POSTING AND PACKING AND I AM VERY SORRY FOR THIS BUT PAYPAL OFFER NO PROTECTION FOR SELLERS UNLESS THERE IS PROOF OF DELIVERY!! PROOF OF POSTING WOULD SEEM INSUFFICIENT TO THEM AND I HAVE FOUND THIS OUT THE HARD WAY.. 

DUE TO THE BEHAVIOUR OF THIS SAME BUYER PAYPAL PAYMENTS WILL ALSO NOT BE ACCEPTED FROM BUYERS WHO DO NOT ALLOW THEIR FEEDBACK TO READ, SO IF YOU FALL INTO THIS CATEGORY PLEASE DO NOT BID ON MY ITEMS UNLESS YOU CAN PAY BY ANOTHER METHOD…….COST VIA INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR MAIL TO EUROPE FOR A SINGLE LP IS USUALLY GBP 9.99 AND TO THE USA/REST OF THE WORLD GBP 13.99 FOR A SINGLE LP AND 15.99 FOR A DOUBLE...
