David Bowie Self Titled Super Orig Philips Uk Lp Impossibly Rare Amazing

THIS LP NEEDS NO INTRODUCTION FROM ME REALLY BUT ONLY AN IMPOSSIBLY RARE ORIGINAL PHILIPS EXAMPLE OF DAVID BOWIES 2ND LP FROM 1969 NOT BE CONFUSED WITH HIS FIRST, ALSO TITLED DAVID BOWIE ON DERAM IN 1967 WHICH IS JUST AS RARE BUT ALSO A SUPER EXAMPLE TOO.THIS LP PROBABLY ONLY TURNS UP FOR SALE 3 OR 4 TIMES A YEAR AT MOST, IT SOLD HARDLY ANY COPIES AND EVEN WHEN IT DOES IT RARELY TURNS UP IN DECENT ORDER LIKE THIS ONE.
ALTHOUGH SPACE ODDITY CAPITIALISING ON BOTH THE MOVIE 2001 AND THE MOON LANDINGS, WAS A HIT BOWIE HIMSELF WOULD NOT MAKE HIS MARK FOR ANOTHER 3 YEARS WITH YET ANOTHER RE-INVENTION AS ZIGGY STARDUST.
ON THE BACK OF THAT 1972 SUCCESS HIS NEW LABEL RCA WOULD RE-RELEASE THIS LP AND RE-TITLE IT AS SPACE ODDITY BUT ESSENTIALLY IT IS THE SAME LP - L K DUE TO THE NEAR DOUBLING FOR THE COST OF SENDING SMALL PACKETS I HAVE HAD TO RE-INTRODUCE A DOMESTIC UK POSTAL COST.
IT STILL WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF THE POSTAGE BUT WILL LIMIT MY LOSSES.
SORRY ABOUT THIS, PLEASE SEND YOUR THANKS FOR THIS TO ROYAL MAIL.
IF I CAN FIND ALTERNATIVES I WILL L K....

GOOD LUCK TO ALL BIDDERS IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL BIDDERS : UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE , MY RECORDS ARE GRADING VISUALLY ONLY.
THIS IS BECAUSE I NOT ONLY DO I NOT HAVE THE TIME TO PLAY EACH DISC BUT THE VARIATION IN PLAY QUALITY DECK TO DECK CAN VARY SO VASTLY THIS CAN OFTEN RENDER PLAY TESTING POINTLESS ANYWAY.
BECAUSE MANY OF THE RECORDS I LIST ARE RARE IN THEMSELVES MY RECORDS ARE PRIMARILY SOLD FOR THEIR COLLECTABILITY FIRST AND PLAYING IS SECONDRY.
THEREFORE SHOULD ANYBODY VALUE PLAY QUALITY OVER COLLECTABILITY PLEASE BARE THIS IN MIND WHEN BIDDING.
HOWEVER IF ASKED BY ANY WINNING BIDDER I WILL PLAY CHECK AFTER LISTINGS END AND SHOULD ANY DEFECT BE FOUND WILL HAPPILY CANCEL THE SALE....
IF THIS IS NOT ASKED THEN IT IS CAVIAT EMPTOR.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR KIND ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER.
DOMESTIC UK POSTAGE NOTE: ALL ITEMS THAT SELL WILL NOW HAVE TO BE SENT VIA 2ND CLASS RECORDED/SIGNED FOR DELIVERY TO PREVENT FRAUDULANT CLAIMS OF NON RECEIPT FOR INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLS SEE MY FURTHER NOTES BELOW NON UK BUYERS PLEASE NOTE MY COMMENTS REGARDING INTERNATIONAL MAIL BELOW...RETURNS POLICY ONLY APPLICABLE TO UK..RETURNS OUTSIDE UK BUYER WILL HAVE TO COVER ALL POSTAGE COSTS Furthermore international bidders please also note that due to ebays new buyer protection policy many sellers now refuse to sell internationally anymore.
I am not one of those sellers yer but please note I do now reserve the right to refuse to complete a sale to any international bidder that may have low or bad feedback or for any other reason and this is especially so if the item sells for over GBP 100, like I say this is purely a result of ebay/paypals new policy that make it now even harder for sellers to trade safely internationally.
Please bare this in mind if you win an item but find that it has been offered first instead to a domestic UK Bidder.
FOR BIDDERS WITH ZERO FEEDBACK THIS IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT...
I have recently been the victim of serveral spurious bids from several different members usually based in the Russian Federation .
Please note that if you win any of my items and have zero feedback I will ask you for immediate payment or for you to email and immediately confirm that you were a genuine bidder.
Failiure to meet either of those critiera will result in the item being offered to the next highest bidder without further delay.
thank you.
ALL MY RECORDS ARE USUALLY SOLD ON VISUAL GRADINGS ONLY, THEREFORE, WITH THE SINGULAR EXCEPT ION OF THOSE RARE OCCASSIONS WHERE I DO STATE THEY HAVE BEEN PLAY GRADED, AS ALL DISCS ARE 2ND HAND ANY PLAYING DEFECTS ARE THEREFORE CAVIAT EMPTOR AND SO NON REFUNDABLE.
I ONLY REFUND WHERE AN ACTUAL GRADING OF MINE IS DISPUTED Please note that whilst I try to endeavour to adhere to strict RC gradings I will never describe ANYTHING AS MINT even when I think it to be so.
As far as I am concerned any secondhand item by definition cannot be mint.
However if I believe an item to be Mint I will instead either use the terms Near Mint, mint minus, or in archive or vault condition.
When I use these terms you know that in my opinion this is in effect a de-facto Mint grade Dont forget to take a look at my other items.
Please feel free to contact me with any queries you may have.
I ONLY DO A COUPLE OF RUNS A WEEK TO THE POST OFFICE BUT MY ITEMS ARE ALWAYS DISPATCHED WELL WITHIN ONE CALENDAR WEEK OF PAYMENT BEING RECEIVED.
I APOLOGISE IN ADVANCE TO THOSE BUYERS WHO SEEM TO EXPECT THEIR ITEM TO ARRIVE THE NEXT DAY, IF YOU WANT TO CHECK WHEN AN ITEM WAS SENT JUST PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AND I WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO TELL YOU SOME PEOPLE DO MAKE YOU LAUGH, FOR ITEMS I BUY I ONLY NORMALLY GET CONCERNED AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND EVEN AFTER THAT THEN ONLY POLIETELY ENQUIRE IF AND WHEN THE ITEM WAS SENT .
PAYMENTS BY PAYPAL ARE PREFERRED BUT I ALSO ACCEPT OTHER METHODS.
I ALSO POST WORLDWIDE PLS APPLY FOR RATES BUT DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH A DISREPUTABLE BUYER IN JAPAN PIGGIESSS - I AM HAPPY TO NAME THEM , FOR ALL PAYMENTS MADE VIA PAYPAL THE ITEM WILL ONLY BE SENT BOTH TO THE UK AND WORLDWIDE BY RECORDED OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR DELIVERY.
THIS IS TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY ATTEMPT TO CLAIM BACK THE PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL EVEN AFTER ACTUALLY HAVING RECEIVED THE ITEM.
THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS HAD THE RESULT OF INCREASING MY COSTS FOR POSTING AND PACKING AND I AM VERY SORRY FOR THIS BUT PAYPAL OFFER NO PROTECTION FOR SELLERS UNLESS THERE IS PROOF OF DELIVERY PROOF OF POSTING WOULD SEEM INSUFFICIENT TO THEM AND I HAVE FOUND THIS OUT THE HARD WAY..
DUE TO THE BEHAVIOUR OF THIS SAME BUYER PAYPAL PAYMENTS WILL ALSO NOT BE ACCEPTED FROM BUYERS WHO DO NOT ALLOW THEIR FEEDBACK TO READ,
