Selling-up my extensive record collection. Lots of interesting records in the collection - do have a look at my other items, and there are new listings every week. I may have obscure things that you didn't even know you wanted! This copy of "Are You Experienced" has A1 / B1 matrices. Pictures are my own photos of the items for sale. Photos are part of the description, have a good look. 
Cover - is intact, and quite good. Front laminated. Lamination on front is intact, but has 3 scallop creases and crease due to bending long ago, near bottom of the opening. Top left corner shows a crease  from being bent at some time. Shows some ring-wear, just taking the shine off the lamination, and there's wear to other areas of the lamination, not all shiny. Lamination doesn't go around the spine, spine shows light wear, just enough to wear the surface bearing the letters off. Back has ring-wear, some of the black ink has worn-away. A few spot stains, discolouration from handling, and previous owner's nickname in biro. A lot to mention, but it's sound, and could be a lot worse!
Record - is rather good. General playing surface is fine, with a few flaws.  On side one, there's a tiny speck of something (possibly white gloss paint), near start of track 1. A very light scratch going from track 2 to track 4, a scratch along the grooves on track 2, and a small stain on the last track. Side two - there's a tiny scratch along the grooves at the end of track 1. This side has some streaky marks and light scratches running along the grooves.  LATER - I've done a play-test on this record, to see what new owner will get, by way of a listening experience. Firstly, it plays loud and clear, just as a copy of this album should.  Crackles and clicks? Few and not loud. On side one, 3 or 4 audible clicks at start of side - as usual on old records, from someone cue-ing onto the music instead of the lead-in. On track 2, one click in a quiet moment at the start. On track 3, Red House, a few quiet crackles at the start. Track 4 has 2 quiet crackles in a quiet moment, and two louder ones near the end. Track 5 - no problems. On track 6, a few crackles in a quiet part. Side two is even better - again, some crackles at the start, and 2 or 3 more during the song - the relatively quiet "Waterfall". After that, I noticed one crackle at the start of track 4, and that's all. A very enjoyable play-test to do!
When I'm checking for damage on records, I look at them carefully with my reading glasses on, in good daylight. This method detects any bits of damage that will affect what you hear when listening to it - and lots that are not audible. Using a spotlight or direct sunlight shows more surfacey marks sometimes, but I don't do that - records are for listening to, not trying to see your face in. Record Collector's Guide suggests a price of £350 for a top copy of this, and my one isn't bad!
Postage at cost within UK - £3.00 plus 50p for a proper record mailer with two stiffener sheets of cardboard. Happy to do combined postage wherever practical. I'll charge you what it costs me - so anything up to six (or so) LPs would still be the same £3.50.
I'm happy to send this overseas. See below for details, if bidding from outside UK - you need to know this stuff.  Dispatch will usually be "next day". Collection in person is welcome.
I don't mail things personally, to countries outside the UK - ( I mean it, don't ask) - but I am happy to use E-Bay UK's Global Shipping Program, for sending things abroad. Under this scheme, I send the parcel to an e-bay depot in UK, and they forward it to the overseas buyer. They have a tracked courier service, for the journey from their UK depot, to the buyer. This means that I can ONLY accept payments through e-bay (Pay Now button), and I can't send invoices.  E-Bay UK tells me, they do NOT do combined postage in the Global Shipping Programme. Charges to the customer for delivery are whatever you're told they are - if you don't want to pay the postal / courier charges individually for the items, then do not bid.  Overseas customers - please DON'T request an invoice - there is no combined postage, I can't make one, and it screws-up the e-bay system. International buyers should be able to see a postage cost to their country, you may have to input your location, if your country is included in the scheme. If your country is not mentioned, please do not bid. International postage to the following countries will be shown (this is the latest list that I've seen - lotta countries!) Australia Austria Belgium Bulgaria Canada Croatia Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark Finland France Germany Greece Hungary Ireland Israel Italy Japan Lithuania Luxembourg Malta Netherlands New Zealand Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Singapore, South Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand Turkey Norway Poland Portugal Romania Russia Slovakia Slovenia Spain Sweden, United States, Antigua & Barbuda Aruba Bangladesh Barbados Belize Bermuda Bolivia Brunei Darussalam Cambodia Cayman Islands Dominica Ecuador Egypt French Guiana Gibraltar Grenada Guadeloupe Guernsey Iceland Jersey Jordan Liechtenstein Macau Maldives Martinique Monaco Montserrat Nicaragua Oman Pakistan Paraguay Peru Reunion Saint Kitts & Nevis Saint Lucia Sri Lanka and Turks & Caicos Islands International postage plus applicable customs charges will probably be shown to buyers in non-EU countries - E-Bay collects customs duty for the receiving country: Australia, Brazil, Canada, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, Russia and USA, and wherever else import duty is appropriate - e.g. Norway. I don't send to China.
