MAINLAND UK ONLY ON THIS ITEM, SORRY! UNLESS YOU'RE WILLING TO PAY FULLY INSURED, THIS IS A VERY HEAVY ITEM, 4 X HEAVYWEIGHT VINYLS + BOX!
FREE POSTAGE IS ONLY FOR MAINLAND SCOTLAND ENGLAND AND WALES. MY APOLOGIES!
Hello there, and thank you for viewing my items!
Having had rather a lengthy hiatus, I'm back to sell more of my collection/ 2nd copies/ records I think might be of interest to others. In previous years I've sold very rare PROG, 60s, PUNK etc, ranging from cheap record right up to £1000 records, and have invariably got good feedback. However, having been away from selling for so long I realise I need to build up current positive feedback again, hence I'm listing many items at buy it now prices, please check out my current, and coming here at my other items! Or to get the heads up on my listings before others even add me to your favourites list!

Here we have the very rare and very limited EU ONLY, 4 vinyl pressing of RADIOHEAD'S first retrospective, 2008's THE BEST OF RADIOHEAD. Whilst available in many different country pressings on CD, the only vinyl release was pressed in the EU in very limited numbers, instantly discontinued, and are obviously even harder to get now! All pressings are A1/B1/C1/D1/E1/F1/G1/H1 matrices. These were not cheap when they first came out, and yet still sold out almost instantly,now they are incredibly hard to find indeed,and whenever they crop upon ebay, disappear pretty quickly! Presented as 4 seperate LPs, with beautiful glossy sleeves, then pristine die-cut red printed inners too, this is a lovely lavish package for a retrospective spanning from 1992 until 2003. A brilliantly selected playlist, with great liner-notes printed inside the front cover of the box. I have played this once, very carefully, and then once again just before listing it, where I also recorded it, and then it has lived the rest of it's lifevery carefully living on my record shelves. This has been beautifully preserved for the... my gosh it's been 9 years...that makes me feel old!   

LABELS: EX+, There is absolutely no spindle mark on any of the 8 labels (sorry I ran out of photos to shw them all off!), and absolutely nothing else either.Beautifully crisp,as the day they were pressed!
VINYL: EX, Absolutely nothing play related at all. As I say,these records were only played twice, very carefully, however, as I'd imagine even upoened copies of this boxed set will find,there has been the ever so slightest space for movement of the record within the inner, in no way affecting the inner, and the two withdrawals to play, and withdrawl to take these photos, though extremely careful, probably added the odd one, so only under a strong, direct halogen light, a few extremely feint hairlines are just about visible, and completely inaudible. As I say, I think this would befall even sealed copies out there. 
SLEEVES: EX+, absolutely beautiful glossy finish, would show up any imperfections, and there are none save two tiny patches of what could be top edge rub (though looks like this might have been from manufacture too) on the first LP's sleeve,(only 1cm) and they were there when I originally opened it, sonothing to do with me! Perfect spines, edges (other than the afore mentioned), and opening mouths. Really as they came from the factory,or at least as I opened them from sealed!
INNER SLEEVES: EX+,still with the odd errant small fleck of cardboard from where the die-cut central holes haven't been fully cleaned away.Exactly as they were when I opened from sealed.
BOX: EX, very minor rubbing to inner red print due to record sleeves inside moving against it ever so slightly (box front inner-please see photos- really very minor!), barely anything, and would certainly befall a sealed copy also. It has barely moved since it's been unsealed. When posting it I will extra pad inside the box with bubblewrap to avoid any further rub. And I will seperate records from outer sleeves. These black matt boxes show up anything but even so, whilst there is a couple of very light marks, they are very light and hard to show in photos, really very light indeed. Lovely gloss finish still reigns supreme! Last photo shows the tiniest scuff to the bottom right corner, I really don't recall that ever happening, but there it is! It is about 6mm long, but really very innocuous indeed!

I AM ONLY OFFERING THIS FOR UK BIDDERS, AS I BELIEVE OVERSEAS POSTAGE WILL BE VERY EXPENSIVE ON THIS BULKY,AND HEAVY ITEM. IF YOU GENUINELY WANT IT OVERSEAS AND ARE WILLING TO PAY THE VERY EXPENSIVE POSTAGE, THEN I AM WILLING TO SHIP, BUT THIS WOULD HAVE TO BE SENT FULLY INSURED, AND IT IS RATHER HEAVY!


As always if you aren't completely happy with your item, please contact me and I'll do my utmost to rectify the matter, I offer a no quibble refund policy upon safe return of the record.
