Item as described: I list everything possible about this item, please read everything thoroughly and view ALL of the photographs. Please do not bid if you expect something different from the listing.

Communication: I will answer any sensible query quickly and politely, but please read the listing thoroughly first. I email the winner to thank them for the bid and to advise them of the likely dispatch date (usually within 24 hours of receiving payment). I email again to confirm dispatch and provide tracking number.

Dispatch time: I dispatch within 24 hours of cleared funds, sometimes even the same day if the payment is received early enough and I am able to get to the post office in time. After that, it's down to the Royal Mail and whichever international mail service is involved - all of which is out of my control.

Postage and packing costs: It generally costs me more than I charge for shipping by the time I add in my mailers, stiffeners, shipping labels, printer ink, packing tape, fragile labels, petrol to the post office...so I do not overcharge on my shipping costs in any way.

Feedback: I would appreciate your feedback after the sale and you have received your item and are happy with it. This means I can then leave feedback for you and our transaction is closed.

ANY ITEM THAT EXCEEDS £46 IN VALUE MUST BE SENT SIGNED-FOR SHIPPING AND INSURED TO FULL VALUE - THIS PROTECTS YOU AND ME FROM ANY DAMAGE OR LOSS IN TRANSIT. PLEASE WAIT FOR FINAL INVOICE BEFORE PAYING. THANKS.

FULLY PLAY GRADED VINYL - FROM START TO FINISH

PLAYGRADED: not simply glanced at with a superficial visual grading, fully played and graded throughout (listened to on headphones - the most revealing playgrade method, with no exterior audio distractions)

VINYL:

Y T M G   8 4 3   A - 1   K T

Y T M G   8 4 3   B - 1   K T

Superb looking vinyl with a few faint hairlines visible and a couple of superficial marks that have little effect on playback. Plays as EX to EX+ audio with light background crackle just at the start of the track, one light pop about 10 seconds in and another fainter one about 2:30 in, otherwise superb audio, NO REPETITIVE CLICKS. B side plays better still with no Pops or clicks and just light intro background crackle. Superb tone and volume.

Plays right through with no jumps or sticks, no repetitive clicks. 

OUTER SLEEVE:

Original company sleeve in excellent condition with very little wear and just a couple of light creases. No seam splits, no graffiti.

LABELS:

A side is MINT! No spindle traces at all. No graffiti. Superb.

B side is MINT-! One spindle trace only. No graffiti. Superb.

INSERT:

This must be next to impossible to find still with the original demo copy! A half sheet of typewritten notes with the release date of February 9th and a brief biography of Martha Reeves, promoting her first solo release. Condition is very good with a few stains and a ring impression, slight creasing. Has some brown marks on the rear that look like it was once pasted into a book perhaps...?

SHIPPING:

Will be very well packed to prevent any possible damage in transit. SIGNED-FOR FULLY INSURED SHIPPING ONLY! VERY RARE ITEM THAT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO REPLACE! (shipping costs include insurance up to £500)

Thanks for taking the time. Good luck in the auction.
