       ****PLEASE KINDLY READ THE FOLLOWING INFO BEFORE THE RECORD DETAILS*****

I have entered a detailed description below but firstly I would like to highlight a few points to any potential buyers.

I am currently thinning out my collection created over many years including LPs, EPs and singles, mostly Beatles and related, many original presses so please feel free to check out my other items listed, I will be listing over 100 items so there should be something there to interest you if Beatles is your thing.

I have collected records on and off for over 30 years, and the introduction of eBay has provided a valuable medium for collector and sellers alike, however fundamentally it does mean you are purchasing blind up to a point and certainly rely on the description being accurate and detailed, specifically with an item such as vinyl, as a result I always endeavour to enter as detailed a description as possible, err on the side of caution and leave nothing to chance, as a result it may appear that the record actually has more issues than normal,this is my attempt to offer as much piece of mind as possible.

Where reasonably possible, and when time allows I will test play the record all the way through at high volume on a very high quality system and while it's not practical to play all the records I list all the way through, where time won't allow a full play of the record, I will at least play random tracks and and where I visually detect any deep scratches or marks to see if they affect play, in addition I also always play various places in between tracks which is the best test of any distortion or issues. I will remark in the description if I have played the entire record for soundness or as above sample random tracks

All my grading's are based on that given in the Record Collector Rare Record Guide and for further piece of mind offer the following refund policy:

I would very much like to retain, and indeed add to my 100% feedback rating so please In the unlikely event any purchaser of any item from me feels that the item is not as described and/or is unhappy with the item, provided I am advised of the issue within 7 days of receipt of the item I will refund in full with no arguments once I have received the item back including a refund for second class recorded post. Please contact me for any issues that you have rather than just leave a negative rating, I am open and willing to sort any issues out to every ones satisfaction, again a s a buyer for a long time myself I know how disappointing it can be if things are not as they appear once received, in addition if their is any item you wish to query or any aspect ot the item you want more info on again contact me and I will be happy to answer any questions where I can. 

To minimise postage and packing costs, I use recycled packaging however all records will be packed as a minimum carefully in a polythene sleeve with cardboard stiffeners, and the record removed from the sleeve to avoid further ring wear during dispatch, in addition to which all records will be receive a deep clean from a VPI specialist vacuum record cleaner to remove any dust and deposits, so play and visual condition described for these records can only improve once listed and purchased. All LP are mailed recorded second class, to enable me to to track the item should the need arise and also provide insurance for any losses or damage, EPs and singles are mailed first class, if however the item value warrants it irrespective of type I will mail to a higher class of post that does cover the items value.

To minimise shipping costs for international buyers I post standard airmail, if however for added piece of mind, to enable the item to be tracked you wish to consider the option of airmail signed for please feel free to contact me and I will be happy to quote you a revised shipping cost for this service.

I am also always interested in purchasing individual items or collections so if you have ones you wish to sell or even a collection please feel free to get in touch, I also offer a consignment service to market and sell individual items or indeed collections so again if this is of interest to you please feel free to contact me.

Ok sorry about that, rant over just wanted to make it clear where I'm coming from, description of the record below.

A fine example of the 70s box set, I have individually inspected and random played all the 13 records and can honestly say I've never heard better on vinyl, fantastic, clear and crisp sounding reproduction, when you've been collecting as long as I have you can tell the signs if records have been played only a few times and there is none of these signs here, I would imagine if these have been played it would only have been one or two plays at most and then the records have been carefully replaced and stored since new, you won't be disappointed, I wasn't.

I have purposefully resisted the temptation to grade records as MINT as I tend not to with anything loosely regarded as used but these aren't used by any means so i've stuck with the NM grading although the records could easily warrant a mint grading.

Full list of the albums at the end of the description.

Ref No BC 13

BOX - EX- I've downgraded the box due to a 1.5 cm chip on the top right hand edge where the covering simulated leather material is missing, apart from this there are Small dinks in the outer covering along the top edge, approx of them, 2 or 3 mm vertical, where the box either has been knocked or pressed against something, these however have not broken the outer box covering, slight vinyl cracking to the fold out opening crease, and a couple of small scratches to the rear panel, one has slightly impregnated the outer covering material the other is a surface scratch approx 6cm, the former 1cm, apart from this the box has retained it's original colouring and certainly it's structure, blue colouring and shape.

COVERS - NM I have inspected all 13 covers individually and all are perfect, this collection doesn't look as if it's ever been removed from the box let alone played, all retain their shape with no storage wear or bumping, and retain there just purchased sheen and sharpness, beautiful.

LABELS - NM No sign of any spindle trails on any of the labels that I can see, with new just purchased look, all albums up to and inc Sgt Peppers and the 17 track sampler with the usual 2 box EMI black and white labels, all later LPs of course on Apple

VINYL VISUAL - NM All records within the sleeves are pristine with a bright deep gloss shine to the surfaces, maybe could do with a clean to remove light surface dust but certainly no scratches, not even the usual wispy hairline scratches associated with removal of the vinyl from the inner sleeves, another indication that this set has not been played from new. superb examples.

VINYL PLAY - NM I test played random tracks throughout and in between tracks at high volume on my very unforgiving Bang and Olufsen all tracks I played were totally crisp and clear, with no background noise at all and total silence between track, all the records played totally flat with no warping.

A chance to own this superb set with new and unplayed records complete, definitely upgrade potential for any collection.
