Frequently asked questions about postage:

Do you combine postage?  Yes.  I am not a business.  I have decent scales and if someone buys more than one item I pack, weigh and then send the invoice.  If someone buys quite a lot I will take the time to work out the various ways I can combine items to get the lowest postal costs with the correct insurance.

Will you send by standard postage?  No.  I will not post anything unless it has the correct insurance and a signature at point of delivery.   This includes international postage.

The Velvet Underground LOADED 1971 Atlantic Orange/Plum Label A1 B1

From my own collection and owned by me from new. 

This LP is in extremely good condition for its age.  I have played it all the way through on both sides and there are no jumps, no sticking points and it sounds absolutely brilliant.  The only faults I could hear were on Side 2 where there is a faint click right at the very end of track 4 and a very small click right at the start of track 5.  Perfectly acceptable for vinyl as my friend has just reminded me - I do tend to expect CD sound.  There are sleeve scuffs on both sides which do not affect the sound quality in any way.  There is also a more visible surface scratch on Side 1 across tracks 4 & 5 but, again, it does not affect the sound quality.

The labels are completely intact on both sides - no writing, stickers, holes, tears or bits missing.  There are faint spindle marks on both sides which you can only see when you hold the record against the light.

The cover is in extremely good condition - slight wear to the corners, some light creasing and a few indentations on the back.  The spine has not been squashed and is clearly legible. 

The original inner sleeve is in reasonable shape. No holes or splits but there is creasing to the 2 of the corners.
