MADE IN ENGLAND

AS THIS ITEM WAS 1ST ISSUED IN 1970 THIS STICKER INDICATES THIS PARTICULAR BOX SET IS AS EARLY AN ED1 AS ONE WILL FIND.
THE FULL RECOMMENDED UK PRICE WAS £21 - 17 - 6 AND TO PUT THIS INTO PERSPECTIVE, THE AVERAGE UK WEEKLY SALARY / WAGE AT THE TIME WAS AROUND £26.00. CURRENTLY IT IS AROUND £500.
QUALITY VINYL LONG PLAY 33&1/3 RPM
PROFESSIONALLY GRADED AS....
VINYL ~ NEAR MINT ALL 10 LP'S HAVE BARELY BEEN PLAYED AND ALL LOOK AS NEW.
LABELS ~ NEAR MINT ONLY A FEW OF THE LABELS HAVE ANY SPINDLE MARKS AT ALL.
BOOK/BOOKLET ~ NEAR MINT THIS 26 PAGE ITEM IS PRISTINE.
BOX ~ EXCELLENT+ VERY CLEAN FRONT AND REAR, EXCEPTIONALLY WELL KEPT AND STILL VERY SOLID.
ALL 10 OF THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVES ARE CRISP AND CLEAN, 2 ARE EXCELLENT OR BETTER THE OTHER 8 ARE NEAR MINT.
DISPATCHING OVERSEAS > I FEEL THAT TO DISPATCH THIS ITEM SO IT ARRIVES WITHOUT DAMAGE THE BOX SHOULD BE SENT SEPARATELY AS THE CONTENTS ARE SO HEAVY. THE BOX WEIGHS 377 GRAMS AND THE CONTENTS WEIGH 1783 GRAMS. THOSE WEIGHTS ARE WITHOUT ANY PACKAGING MATERIAL AND I USE HEAVY DUTY CARDBOARD. THE CONTENTS WOULD WEIGH APPROXIMATELY 2.6 KILO WITH THE PACKAGING AND THE MAXIMUM WEIGHT THAT CAN BE SENT VIA ROYAL MAIL AIRMAIL IS 2 KILO. THEREFORE IF THE CONTENTS ARE SENT BY ROYAL MAIL AIRMAIL THEY WILL HAVE TO BE SENT IN 2 LOTS/PACKAGES WITH THE BOX MAKING 3 LOTS/PACKAGES IN TOTAL. ROYAL MAIL SURFACE MAIL IS A CHEAPER OPTION AND THIS ITEM COULD THEN BE SENT IN EITHER 1 OR 2 LOTS/PACKAGES. DELIVERY TIME CAN TAKE UP TO 6 WEEKS TO TO NORTH AMERICA AND 8 WEEKS TO ASIA. PLEASE ASK FOR THE COST VIA SURFACE MAIL IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS OPTION.
I USE THE CATAGORY OF NEAR MINT, WHEN AN ITEM GRADES BETTER THAN EXCELLENT+ AND IS EXTREMELY CLOSE TO MINT. ALSO, I ALWAYS BEAR IN MIND THAT SOME PEOPLE CONSIDER THAT, EVEN IF A RECORD IS PERFECT OR "AS NEW" IT CAN NOT BE MINT IF IT HAS BEEN PLAYED, EVEN IF IT HAS BEEN PLAYED ONLY ONCE. I HOPE TO MAINTAIN A REPUTATION FOR HONEST GRADING AND ACCURATE DESCRIPTIONS, SO I AM CAREFUL NOT TO OVERGRADE. I ALWAYS TRY TO TAKE THE BEST PHOTOS I CAN AND I ALWAYS TRY TO BE FAST AND FRIENDLY.
I MAY ADD MORE PHOTOS AND INFORMATION.
I HAVE PUT WHAT I CONSIDER TO BE A VERY REASONABLE RESERVE ON THIS ITEM CONSIDERING THE CONDITION AND PREVIOUS PRICES ACHIEVED..
SHIPPING INSURANCE IS INCLUDED ON ALL P&P/SHIPPING UP TO A VALUE OF £32. ANY ITEM OF GREATER VALUE CAN BE COVERED WITH INSURANCE IF YOU WANT IT AND ONLY THE EXTRA COST TO ME WILL BE CHARGED ON TOP. PLEASE ASK AS IT VARIES, THIS CAN BE DONE EITHER BEFORE OR AFTER THE ITEM ENDS.
I INTEND TO LIST SOME MORE GREAT ITEMS SOON.
100% SATISFACTION GUARENTEE ON ALL ITEMS WITH NO QUIBBLE AND YOUR MONEY BACK IN FULL IF YOU ARE NOT TOTALLY SATISFIED.
WOULD LIKE A MORE DETAILED PHOTO? JUST ASK. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUERIES OR NEED ANY FURTHER INFORMATION, AT ALL, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I AM ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP.
YOU CAN REST ASSURED THAT YOUR ITEM WILL NOT BE DAMAGED DURING SHIPPING >
I USE HIGH GRADE, STRONG, THICK AND HEAVY QUALITY CARDBOARD AND QUALITY TAPE TO CREATE A PACKAGE OF OUTSTANDING DURABILITY. ANND STRENGTH. THE CARDBOARD HAS BEEN USED TO IMPORT LARGE ITEMS FROM THE FAR EAST IS SELECTIVELY CUT TO SIZE. IT'S USE IS AN EXCELLENT FORM OF RECYCLING.
