Communication: I will answer any sensible query quickly and politely, but please read the listing thoroughly first. I email the winner to thank them for the bid and to advise them of the likely dispatch date (usually within 24 hours of receiving payment).

Dispatch time: I dispatch within 24 hours of cleared funds, sometimes even the same day if the payment is received early enough and I am able to get to the post office in time. After that, it's down to the Royal Mail and whichever international mail service is involved - all of which is out of my control.

Postage and packing costs: It generally costs me more than I charge for shipping by the time I add in my mailers, stiffeners, shipping labels, printer ink, packing tape, fragile labels, petrol to the post office...so I do not overcharge on my shipping costs in any way.

PYE

FULLY PLAY GRADED VINYL - FROM START TO FINISH - EX+ AUDIO!

UK 1ST PRESS:

1. Original dark pink Pye label

2. Laminated flipback sleeve by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd

3. Original Pye company inner sleeve

VINYL: 

NN1112 A-1

NN1112 B-1

Mega thick slab of vinyl! Excellent looking vinyl with a several superficial hairlines/sleeve removal marks here and there, but fortunately they have virtually no effect on the audio, with virtually no background noise at all. There is some light background noise (more like quiet 'tape hiss' than crackle) in between tracks, faintly audible on the quietest sections, but the loud music easily covers this. No distortion, no pops, no clicks, virtually no crackle. EX+ audio.

SIDE 1

Plays superbly throughout, lovely tone and volume from this UK 1st press. Virtually no background noise - (quiet hiss - only audible on the 'in between' sections). A tad more background noise on last track, but no way is it dominant. No pops, no clicks, no sticks, no jumps. EX+ audio.

SIDE 2

Plays nearly as well, But I did hear a couple of very, very faint background clicks on my headphones on track 2, right back in the mix, not at all intrusive, very hard to pick out! A couple of slighter louder clicks on "So Long". Still a very nice playing copy with otherwise very little background noise, even on the quieter sections, but for the couple of quiet clicks it would be EX+ audio again, so downgraded to EX audio. A rare example and worthy addition to any collection.

Plays right through with no jumps or sticks, no loud pops, no loud repetitive clicks!

OUTER SLEEVE:

One of the better ones I've seen with only light wear and not worn away like the vast majority out there!

Very good condition, laminated flipback sleeve by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. A few typical laminate creases, some corner bumping, slight crease/bend to top left corner, small seam split to top edge about 2.5cm long. Bottom edge is fine. Spine is good and square and perfectly legible. Back is very good with no graffiti, some yellowing with age. Flipbacks are sound, unworn and perfectly attached. Opening edges show moderate thumbing/handling wear but not at all overworn.

LABELS:

Very good, NO graffiti, several spindle traces. 

INNER SLEEVE:

Original Pye company advertising sleeve in good condition, poly lined but with small seam split to one side. No graffiti.

Thanks for taking the time. Good luck in the auction.
