IF BIDDING FROM OUTSIDE THE UK THEN PLEASE NOTE THAT I USE EBAY'S GSP FOR POSTING. THESE COSTS CAN BE HIGH. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO PAY THESE PRICES THEN PLEASE DO NOT BID. However I am willing to listen to requests to post outside of Ebay through signed-for and tracked. I would recommend using Ebay though as they cover taxes, customs lost items etc. Europe postings will cost £15 for a single item if I send them.
Unfortunately I need to cash in on some of my record collection to help fund my retirement so..........................
For auction here is a copy of the Traffic LP 'John Barleycorn Must Die' first released in the UK on the Island label ILPS 9116 in 1970. This is an original first pressing. As can be seen by the matrix numbers it is not the mispress.
Matrix runouts are:-
ILPS 9116 A/2 UAS 5504 A 6.3.70 STERLING LH I3C1(?)
ILPS 9116 B/2 (some indecipherable numbers) UAS 5504 B 6.3.70 AM STERLING LH
The gaetfold cover is VG+, it has some very slight spine scuffing and some minor edge creases. It's still in an acceptable condition having no stickers, no writing and no tears.
The inner sleeve is VG. Not sure if it's supposed to have a pink Island inner sleeve or not but this is plain white.
The vinyl is VG+, there are some very minor marks on the vinyl but it still is in a decent playable condition. It should do fine until a mint one comes along.
The labels are excellent being free of writing or stickers. The spindle holes look fairly solid with some white coming through. It's hard to tell if there are spindle marks or not.
Please bid with confidence as I have a 100% positive feedback rating.
I am willing to post multiple items abroad which will be tracked and signed-for. Payments for this method go direct through Paypal as Ebay's GSP does not cater for multiple item sales unfortunately.
I try to adhere as closely as possible to the Record Collector Magazine grading system which is shown below as a guide. I do ad + and - to gradings for intermediate conditions. Any record described as 'Mint' will mean 'Unplayed'.
RECORD COLLECTORS GRADING SYSTEM
| Mint (M) | The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. |
| Excellent (EX) | The record 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 (VG) | The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable |
| Good (G) | Te record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc |
| Fair (F) | The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. |
| Poor (P) | The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing |
| Bad (B) | The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler |
