Pink Floyd ?– Obscured By Clouds

Unique Israeli issue, with Hebrew text on the cover... Not issued in a UK sleeve, as other Israeli issues were.

The band name and title are printed on the front of the cover.

There is a sticker written in Hebrew text on the back of the sleeve...not sure what it says though. (if someone could let me know what it says, it would be greatly appreciated, as the curiosity is killing me!!)

Answer
The sticker on the back of the OBC LP is name of the name of the shop that sold the LP. New or 2nd hand i don't know. the sticker says: Name of the shop followed by the address and phone number. The blank space inside the small box is for the price (in Shekels), obviously was never filled in.

All in Very Good condition or better.

This is an above average used record, that has been well looked after.




GOOD
56 to 68
The record has been played so much that the sound quality has deteriorated, but the record will still play through, and it will not be a completely unpleasant listening experience, even at the bottom of this grade (56).
The cover and contents may suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc. 




FAIR
41 to 55
The record is still playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even stick, skip or jump.. This is starting to be an unpleasant listening experience at the top of the grade (55) and will not be a pleasant listening experience at all by the end of it (41).
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing. 
 
BAD

A few words about postage.

Within Australia, the best value for multiple purchases is a 5KG satchel, where as many as 15 to 20 LPs can be posted for $22.00 registered post. (well packed in a box, inside the satchel)

My Policies on postage are simple.

I post at cost.
The user pays.
I package well.

Any item that you purchase without choosing the option of "Signed for" or "Registered" Post, is at your risk.
I do accept that "signed for" can be expensive, especially internationally, but whether you take the option of this insurance, is entirely up to you.
I do not wish to withdraw the option of standard postage for the cheaper records, but it must be at your risk.
