MELLOW CANDLE
"Swaddling Songs"
This mega rarity was issued on the DERAM label and issued in 1972 (Catalogue number: SDL 7. The stamped matrix numbers in the deadwax area are ZAL-11141.P-1W and ZAL-11142.P-2W see pictures). The matrix numbers indicate that this is the original British pressing of the vinyl (the repress matrix numbers are hand-carved and not pressed). Most probably an British export pressing for South Africa. An excellent copy to add your collection, get it now while it still available.
Cat No: DERAM, SDL 7
Matrix Number: ZAL-11141.P-1W and ZAL-11142.P-2W [machine stamped]
Condition:Label: There is no writing on either side of the label. No marks or spindle wear.
Vinyl: (EX+) Both sides of this fantastic album still show a deep black shine. There are NO nasty markes or scratches. I have played this album and it sounds great. The album comes with the original Deram inner sleeve.
Record Cover: (EX-) Gatefold. Although not mint, it is still in superb condition - it is very flat and square and still firm. The edges show very modest wear basically minimal wear and NO splits. There is no unwanted writing, no feathering on the opening side, no stickers and no staining. The spine is very square although it shows signs small signs of wear. All in all, this is a wonderful condition for its age. The sleeve and cover were originally printed in England. There is a small mark on the Deram logo on the front. See pictures. There is also signs of ring wear on the back of the cover.

Postage:
I will mail this record worldwide. The vinyl will be removed from the inner sleeve to prevent seam splitting (kniving) during transit. I will pack the record in a custom made record mailer with 25mm polystyrene side to protect the item against breakage. P&P will be £16-00. I do offer combined shipping to reduce shipping fees. Please wait for the invoice before payment is made. If you are not willing to pay the postage fee, please do not bid.
South Africa had a postal strike for almost 4 months. Everything seems to be back on track. The postage of £16 is SA Post Office rates. Should you prefer to use an alternative delivery option, I have used Aramex in the past. Parcels are delivered within 10 working days. I need to confirm postage via Aramex (destination dependant). An estimated courier fee is £30.
Should you wish not to have the parcel tracked and insured, I could not be held responsible for any loss or damage in transit.
The £7-00 postage fee as set by Ebay is not applicable as this record will be mailed from South Africa.
Thank you and good luck!!!
