As many people may already know, I usually end all my items on Sunday nights - and my next set of auctions will STILL end as usual on Sunday 18th November (they will start to be listed during the week!)!!!!  But as I had quite a few extra items of overstock and also UTMOST RARITY come in to me this week - I decided to do a 'one off' set of listings of Wednesday auctions!!!!  So PLEASE NOTE that this auction will end late on Wednesday 14th November (NOT Sunday!) - and MANY more will be listed on Tuesday 13th aswell (on a 1 day auction!), ALL ending Wednesday 14th November!!!!  And there will be some EXTREMELY rare items indeed (see other items) - including many other LPs!!!!  Thanks for reading and please take a look at this AMAZING item below:-

This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, only 1 MEGA light scuffline trace, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL JUST PRESSED LOOK AND LOOKS SUPERB!!!!  It is also GREAT to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual!!!!  The record plays with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some EXTREMELY low level background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must grade Excellent+ if not better!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The record comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Lyric' inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition overall - with just a couple of almost INVISIBLE repairs to the edges!!!!  The 1st Press E.J.Day 'Mirror' Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The cover has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, (apart from some very VERY faint 'touching in' traces!), NO sticker tears, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), possible VERY minor evidence of 'tipping in' to the corners, NO damage AT ALL to the 'die-cut' mirror (apart from a couple of ULTRA light indentation traces!), NO rips and NO tears to the mirror edge, only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), only some very VERY slight rubbing, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO yellowing, NO grubbyness, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL, only 2 or 3 TINY 'age traces' towards the VERY top, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good++ if not better!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items (I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!) - PLEASE REMEMBER to contact with me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy!  Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again - Graham @ XXXRecords.

PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt.   MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):-  Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little.  Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002.  However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever.  However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out.  Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself.  On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!).  I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs!  And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference.  THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER!  No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged.  Any questions - please ask!
