Description
TREES: The Garden Of Jane Trelawney (CBS, 63837, 1970).
Sleeve is in good condition with some edge scuffing and shelf wear, plus the previous owner's name on the rear - see the photos. Side 1 plays at a very nice VG to EX with a few random pops that a deep clean will probably remove. Side 2, however, has some problems. There is a scratch on track 1 that gives light repeating clicks. There is another mark at end of track 1 and into track 2 that causes 30 or so seconds of repeating clicks but also 3 skips (one skip is between tracks but the others are a few seconds into the track). Track 4 also has a few seconds of repeated clicks. Otherwise, side 2 also plays at a nice VG to EX. The side 2 label also includes the previous owner's initials. The generic CBS advertising inner also has writing (but is easily replaced). So, overall, a decent enough copy - a superior collection filler, marred by a couple of faults.
ADDITIONAL: Thanks very much to the 19 people who have made offers and asked me to stop the auction (and now to the other 8 people who ignored this message!) - and apologies for giving up answering the numerous messages upping original offer when I said no, but I suddenly couldn't be bothered, what with real life to get on with. I have revised the price upwards (twice now) to reflect the latest high offer, BUT PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME TO SELL THE ITEM BEFORE THE END OF THE AUCTION - and apologies for shouting! I would simply prefer to let the record sell for whatever it's going to sell for. And if it doesn't sell this time, I'll leave it a few more years before relisting. Basically, it was a borderline decision to lose it from my collection, so I don't mind holding onto it. Back into storage it will go for me to look at and play in a few more years, when it next comes out of the collection for sale!
* * * * Playing surfaces are likely to have light marks from taking in and out of sleeves over the years but these are not mentioned unless obvious (i.e. to the detriment of listening experience or if the record is especially collectable). Condition stated is based on play testing each record, unless stated. All photos are of the record you will be receiving, so please look at these carefully because they can give a better idea of condition of sleeves than my descriptions. Apologies for various reflections of my good self!
The more you buy, the more you save on postage. If you win multiple items, please do not pay until I have invoiced with updated postage. If items are bid above £20 (or multiple items are sold for more that £20), the higher rate of postage will apply so that your wins are correctly insured against loss/damage in the post.
See photos for track details if I have not detailed these. All records/books/etc. from a smoke/pet/Covid-free household. Where possible, packaging will be recycled but sturdy/secure.
* * * * Conditions tend to be subjective, and with vinyl I won't even use 'Mint' for new, still sealed, un-played records - all records come fresh from the pressing plant with at least some minor imperfection to sleeve, record, inner, etc. So, I start with Excellent for the most part. The majority of LP sleeves from played but well looked after records tend to be what I would call Very Good (which should mean exactly what it says, 'very good'). Judging by most items bought on eBay over the last few years would tend to suggest that my "Very Good" (and, often, my "Good") equates to most sellers' "Excellent".
Tapes and CDs are a bit different. If the cassette casing and labels/CD look as new and the tape/CD plays properly, with no sound imperfections, then I'm not embarrassed about calling it "Mint", though most inlays will be Near New, Excellent or Very Good. I do not include standard jewel cases in the condition - these are easily replaced - but I mention if damaged. In any case, the photos should tell you this.
Note that all records, tapes, books, whatever, are from my own collection and most have been in storage for the last fifteen years or so. Lockdowns, etc., have caused me to revisit and have a bit of a clear out. It's all made me wonder why I have multiple copies of records that I don't even play! There are about 5,000 more items to come from my rambling progressive rock, jazz fusion, folk, folk-rock, blues, 1950s stereo classical and easy listening, psychedelic, reggae, ambient, railway, field recordings, electronic and occasionally just plain 'out there' collection. I've been collecting the stuff since 1966, so now its time for much of it to find new homes.
