The Nice - Thoughts Of Emerlist Davjack (1967 UK MONO Vinyl LP, NM Vinyl *LOOK*

	£		50
	$		66

I have decided to slowly start parting with my own personal vinyl collection. This has been a difficult decision. I spent many a happy year, hunting, buying, upgrading my collection. I will try and provide as much info as possible, but if you require more photos or any other info don't hesitate to get in touch.

The collection consists of Rock, Prog, Psych, Folk, Beat predoninantly from the 60's and 70's. Plenty of Vertigo, Harvest and Island originals as well as Beatles, Stones, Hendrix, Who etc.

I would consider all items to be at least EX, however please read my descriptions where I will try and point out any flaws.

I will also include multiple photos in my listings, detailing as much as possible.

Bid with confidence - I am a long time collector. I understand collecting and grading. I don't overgrade and will refund you fully on return of the item if not entirely satisfied.

Vinyl will be seperated from the sleeve, placed in a new antistatic inner and card outer for shipping. The original inner will be included if present (check description)

I use cruciform record mailers with stiffeners for safe, secure shipping.

All UK items will be sent by 1st class recorded. I will combine postage where possible, I always undercharge P&P costs - please bear this in mind when leaving feedback/DSRs.

Overseas postage will ONLY be sent by registered/recorded delivery and the full value will be declared to customs so please don't ask me to reduce this.

Thanks for looking.

ARTIST - The Nice

TITLE - Thoughts Of Emerlist Davjack

YEAR - 1967

COUNTRY - UK

LABEL - Immediate

THIS RECORD IS MONO

Matrix Numbers are machine lightly stamped on both sides.

Side One IMLP 016 A-1L

Side Two IMLP 016 B-2L

THE LABELS

The labels are lilac (not dark pink) with 'Sold In The UK Subject To...' text. Some pressings which omit this text are later pressings - even lilac labels without this text. The labels are free from writing or any other defects. There are some spindle marks on either side indicating some play, though not excessive.

THE VINYL

This record looks simply stunning. I have inspected it in daylight and have no problem grading it NM (I use Mint only when sealed). I bought this record because I was blown away with the condition of the vinyl. This record doesn't look anything like 46 years old, I challenge anyone to find a better copy.

So how does it sound?

Despite being over 40 years old the record sounds like it was pressed yesterday - in fact better, the heavyweight vinyl and deep grooves make this vintage pressing far superior to any CD issue. The track breaks are almost silent, there is no distortion, clicks, pops, sticks, jumps or any other defects. It plays as it looks Near Mint

THE INNER

The record is in a brand new poly lined antistat inner, the original having been lost or replaced over time.

THE SLEEVE

The condition of the sleeve I would grade as EX-. There is minor scuffing to the edges are corners which is more apparent as the sleeve is predominantly black, which highlights even the tiniest imperfections. There is a tiny flaw (pictured) on the front of the sleeve just above the left hand shoulder of one of the band members. The sleeve benefits from clear legible spine print, pinched corners and is free from splits, writing or other major defects.

THE PRICE

You'll see this and other records I have listed at the top end of the price spectrum - Why? Well because I feel that each of the examples I am selling are among the best you will ever see. In some cases I have spent a lot of time (and money) upgrading numerous times looking for perfection. You may find similar records cheaper here and elsewhere on the web, but quality costs and if you are looking for the best, then rest assured you have found it and if not completely satisfied I will reimburse you IN FULL on return of the item. 

We've all bought vinyl on ebay only to be disappointed with the quality, however I offer a full money back guarantee on my records - I do not offer partial refunds, if you are not happy with your purchase I will gladly refund you in full once the item has been returned.

Condition

If you need any specific questions regarding condition of the items, please get in touch. I am a collector myself so I understand the importance of condition

 I am strict on my grading and wouldn’t list anything I wouldn’t be happy to receive. All my items are from my personal collection (see About Me) and have been looked after.

Please take time to look at my feedback to see how many good comments I have regarding the condition of my items.

Vinyl will be separated from the sleeve for shipping.

The vinyl will be placed in a new anti-static bag and protective card outer.

Any questions regarding condition, please feel free to ask prior to bidding.

Grading

For LPs and singles I use the Rare Record Guide grading system detailed below:

MINT The LP or single is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items are in perfect condition.

EXCELLENT The LP or single shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD The LP or single has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and an occasional light scatch. Normal wear and tear on the cover and contents without any major defects.

GOOD The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deterioted, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

Delivery Times

 I aim to despatch all items with 36 hours of payment. If you check my feedback you will see numerous comments on the speed of delivery.

I only use 1st Class recorded postage to protect both buyers and sellers. Items over £50 will be insured

Unfortunately once I have posted the item, it is then in the hands of Royal Mail who state that 1st Class should take 2-3 days however the reality is that this isn’t always the case. It is not uncommon  for items to take 5 days to arrive.

We all know how frustrating it is to be waiting for our new purchase only for it to be delayed in the post, but please be reasonable and don’t take your frustrations on the postal system out on me.

If your item hasn’t arrived 7 days after despatch please get in touch. Don’t open a case or leave me negative feedback. I am a reasonable person and like to think that any problem can be resolved with communication.

 I obtain proof of postage on ALL items.

Postage & Packaging Costs

Postage costs have increased dramatically over the last 12 months.  Unlike some I don’t make a profit from postage.  Ebayers who sell know these costs, however some customers are oblivious to the cost of actually getting their item to them.

A single vinyl album packaged properly costs £4.10 just for 1st class recorded delivery, this does not include the price of the antistat bags, card outers, cruciform mailers, labels, ink, card stiffeners, bubblewrap etc.

Please consider these costs when leaving me feedback and DSR’s.

If you have any questions regarding postage and packaging cost please get in touch.

Overseas Postage

Overseas postage has become very expensive. For items over £25 I will only use either International Signed For or Airsure services. For a single LP the cost of this service is £11.70. That is what I am charged. I charge £12 which means 30 pence goes towards the cost of packaging. It doesn't even come close to paying for the packaging. The cruciform mailers alone are 40p, thats without the card stiffeners, bubble wrap, replacement inners, card outers, labels, ink etc.

Please consider these costs when leaving DSRs and feedback and you should realise that the £12 I charge is more than fair.

Also I always declare full value of the items for customs purposes as I need to for the insurance, please don't ask me to lie. Overseas customers are responsible for all import taxes that may be due on expensive items.

Customer Service

This is very important to me. I am not a big corporation selling 1000’s of items a day with no regard to the customers. I appreciate every order and try to make sure every customer is completely satisfied with their order.

If you are unsatisfied in any way, PLEASE get in touch before leaving bad feedback, low DSR’s or opening a case.

I am reasonable and will work with you to resolve any problems amicably, however I cannot resolve problems if I am not made aware of them.

Feedback

Your feedback is important to me. I work hard to make sure my customers are happy with their items and if for any reason they are not I urge them to get in touch BEFORE leaving feedback.

Also as a business seller it is important that you leave good DSR’s. Like many sellers I feel this system is very unfair as a couple of low ratings can ruin your business and get you banned for Ebay even if you have perfect feedback.

If there is anything I could have done to make your experience better please let me know.

About Me

As you can see I am listed as a business, but this isn’t technically true. Ebay have forced me to become a business seller due to the number of items I was selling.

I have been an obsessive collector of CDs, DVD’s and Vinyl for over 25 years. Over that time I have amassed a very impressive personal collection in the 1000’s. The collection is wide and varied covering a multitude of genres and formats dating from the early 1960’s.

When I became unemployed I decided to part with the collection to make ends meet. That means that every item is from my personal collection and they are the only one I have. Ocassionally I list multiple items, this is usually when I’ve bought something without knowing if I already have it, or it has been bought for me. Also as a collector I would sometimes buy items from different countries or regular editions and later deluxe editions with bonus tracks etc. Obviously when you have such a large collection it sometimes gets hard to keep track of!
