Swell Maps - Whatever happens next ...
Rough Trade/Rather Rough 21
original 1981 UK Double LP
This is from my personal collection; the vinyl is in near perfect perfect shape (near mint, if you accept this term for a record that has been played a few times).
The cover shows some light general signs of age; it's slightly discoloured around the edges (this seems to have happened to all the copies I've seen on the net), there's some corner wear, and if you look closely, you can see that a small price sticker has been removed, but there's nothing serious: no tears, splits or writing.
All the labels are clean.
I'm selling off the records I have collected since 1968, because I have realised that although I prefer vinyl in theory, I hardly ever listen to them anymore, as I've got most of the music on CD reissues now. I bought these records new, and have taken great care of them. I have played all of them a few times, but on good equipment, and when I take them out of their sleeves, I don't touch the playing surface, and I always put them back in their sleeves immediately. They are stored correctly, so they are not warped.
This means that my records still sound practically as new, without any scratches or any other damage. If you turn the treble up, you might hear the occasional soft click or faint crackling between tracks or in very quiet passages, but this is usually due to the pressing. (If you have been a collector for a while, you‘ll know that 100% perfect pressings are not all that common.)
The vinyl looks perfect in normal daylight, but under very bright light you can see some faint superficial lines (but can't you always?).
I will carefully describe any flaws that go beyond this; otherwise you can assume that the above description applies.
I will describe the covers individually, because I think here generalisations are pretty useless for the buyer. This will make some of them sound less desirable than they actually are, because I will focus on the flaws (rather than tell you how fantastic they still look). If there is a problem with the cover, I will always show this area in the scan, as I want you to know what to expect. One generalisation: I NEVER write on covers or labels.
If you have any questions, please contact me. I can also email you scans of any other part of the cover or labels.

INSURANCE
If a package is worth more than CHF 100, I will send it by registered post (no extra cost for the buyer).
If it's worth less than CHF 100, but you still want me to send it by registered mail, please add CHF 6.00.
COMBINED POSTAGE
If you buy more than one item, the reduced postage will NOT be calculated automatically (I'm too lazy to work out how this could be done).
Wait for my invoice, or feel free to subtract the amount yourself.
I try to post the records the day after receiving payment, if possible. There is nothing else I can do to speed up delivery. If you happen to live in a country with slow customs or postal service (hello, Italy!), you'll simply need patience (but then you probably already know that).
