My last copy and it's a stunner. Absolutely ZERO faults at all, one of the most pristine copies I have ever seen. No scratches etc and plays incredible! Beautiful original copy of an album that rarely pops up in great condition.
It's estimated that all three of Nick's albums sold only 5000 copies altogether -- Bryter Layter alone selling 3000 of those. Meaning that genuine original UK copies of Five Leaves Left especially are insanely scarce and, because these came out non-laminated and commercially disregarded, are even rarer in above VG condition. This is a tough one to let go in this condition, whoever gets this will be very happy!
Original Inner: Original inner in VERY GOOD CONDITION.
Postage Information
This will be shipped special delivery to make sure it reaches the lucky buyer safe and securely.
For INTERNATIONAL customers worried about tariffs: Customs forms are filled out with the Harmonisation Code "Vinyl Records: 8523.80.1000" and described as "Informational Materials: phonograph (vinyl) record” which should excuse any vinyl being subject to tariffs. Although I cannot accept liability if customs makes a mistake, the vast majority of my sales are international and everyone has been very happy with no complaints! (see my feedback)
All vinyl is shipped securely and may be double boxed where necessary. I will do all in my power to make sure it ships fast and gets to you securely. As a collector I relate to other collectors and expect the same top tier service from myself as I do other sellers!
Good luck!
Cleaning: All vinyl sold by me is carefully cared for and cleaned with one of the most effective processes in the field. Manually cleaned with a Disco Stat + Loricraft combination with a formulated distilled water and alcohol mixture, and a tergikleen + glycol surfactant. The process is then finished off with an Ultrasonic Degritter cleaning to blast out and rinse any other impurities that may still remain. This is one of the key factors into why the vinyl I sell on sounds so clean and lacks the surface noise you may get from a seller who doesn't go to the same lengths as this vinyl obssessed guy over here :)!
