SUMMARY

RARE 1ST PRESSING WITH PINK LABEL AND BLACK 'CIRCLE' LOGO OF THE FOLK ROCK CLASSIC FROM FAIRPORT CONVENTION R.R.C GRADINGS;

FRONT

Excellent -

The laminated front cover has kept the illustrations in excellent condition. There are though some creases around the corners of the front cover.

BACK

Very Good +

There is some creasing on the right hand side of the back cover near the spine. However the photo of 'Fairport Convention' in action is still in excellent condition.

LABEL

Excellent -

On both sides there are marks around the hole where the spindle has rubbed against the label.

VINYL

Excellent -

There are mild surface marks on either side of the vinyl. However there are no significant scratches.

AUDIO QUALITY

Excellent -

There is some very occasional background popping, but otherwise the audio quality on this classic folk rock album is excellent.

Introduction * BE SURE TO ADD ME TO YOUR favorites list

Dear collector my name is Sam Barraclough and I have undertaken the task of selling my father’s extensive record collection. He has amassed a considerable and varied vinyl collection of albums and singles during his time as a DJ and critic, with many rare and items included. In addition to the known rare records there are many demo and promotional items, which were not available for general purchase.

I have a data-based collection using the Rare Record Price Guides' grading scale (If you are unaware of this grading system please don’t hesitate to contact me and I will reply as soon as possible with the guides description). As you can see in the description there is a grading given for Vinyl and Audio Quality. This is necessary because a record may seem poor quality when viewed, but when played the Audio Quality is often excellent. Conversely the Vinyl quality may seem excellent but when played the Audio Quality can be quite poor.

The chronology of the collection stretches from the early 1960s to the early 1980s with a concentration of British Beat, Rock, Punk and Mod - but I will only be selling those records that I value at £18(€27) or over. If you have any questions concerning this item or wish to enquire about my record collection please contact me by asking a question via ebay or email: sambarraclough@gmail.com. I aim to reply within 24 hours where possible.

Refunds

I will offer a full refund (minus postage) to the winning bidder if you find that any of the gradings (Outer Sleeve, Label, Vinyl or Audio Quality) given in the listing do not match the description of Rare Record Collector grading system. As you can see by my feedback I have attained a strong reputation based upon the accuracy of my description, communication with clients and a quick and professional postage. So, in the unlikely event that you are dissatisfied, notify me within 48 hours of receipt that you are returning the album and I will deposit a full refund via Paypal.

Postage

For domestic delivery I offer a choice of Royal Mail 1st Class or 2nd Class Post and a Recorded Delivery Service if requested. For International customers Royal Mail Airmail and Surface Mail are available for dispatch of your item (please be aware of the considerable delivery time difference between the two- see table below). Please select your preferred method of dispatch when paying for your item by using the “Pay now” link. For all services I will obtain proof of postage which insures the record up to a value of £32 for lost or damaged items. If additional insurance is desired, buyers should contact me after purchasing the item.

- All records are securely packaged in thick plastic protectors inside a record mailer, with stiffeners for extra protection in transit.

- All records are cleaned with a professional vinyl record cleaning liquid before dispatch.

Those who wish to purchase more than one record (up to a batch of three) will receive postage reductions, which are shown in the tables below -

* When a combination of singles and LPs are won a fair postage calculation will be made favouring regular customers
