Item Description
ONEADAYRECORDS Simply Delivering Quality Music to the World in Quality, Safe Packing.
Postage: UK 4.75 1 per extra record .
Europe including Russia 12.50 2 per extra record .
Rest of World including ALL parts of the USA 16.50 3 per extra record .
All boxes signed for in quality, safe packaging I NEVER use mailing envelopes that offer virtually no protection at all in fact I think these things should be banned as records WILL arrive damaged in them at some time.
Here, you get what you pay for SAFE PACKING in BOXES using 7mm DOUBLE-WALL STIFFENERS.
Full details nearer the end of the listing.
Posting to Russia: Yes, I do post to Russia.
But delivery can take up to 4 to 6 weeks from the UK.
So please be patient.
I will submit a tracking number to the winning bidder, and when the packet arrives there it can be followed online using the Russian post website.
ALSO: I now apply the Ebay 2-day rule for non-payment to keep things moving cash-flow is important for any small business.
I will always keep my P P prices as low as possible, and even after yet another Royal Mail price hike from April this year, I have NOT raised my prices and will never compromise on solid, safe packing that is invariably heavier than most you will get.
My P P offers probably the best value-for-money for vinyl records available, and I even will pay for full insurance on any record that sells for over 100 at NO extra cost that is UK and abroad.
Also I aim to post the very same day after payment is received.
You WILL see the difference when my packet arrives.
FINALLY: Late payers will now be blocked at my discretion.
As will any bidder who cancels a bid.
I do not like this practice as it is most often used to phish out the price to beat.
Ebay does not approve and neither do I so only bid on my items if you want them.
Artist or Band: NIRVANA Album Title: Local Anaesthetic.
Producer s : Patrick Campbell-Lyons.
TRACK LIST: Side 1: Modus Operandi.
Side 2: Home: a Salutation, b Construction, c Deconstruction, d Reconstruction, e Fanfare.
Label/Format: Vertigo original large swirl and logo with matt, smooth surfaces.
Label Conditions: Both immaculate: ultra clean with an unusual freshness that remind of new.
Hugely attractive with just one ultra fine spindle trace on side two, only just seen if light catches it right.
Two stunning original Swirl labels that even the connoisseurs will admire.
Cat Number: 6360031.
Mode / Speed: Stereo / 33.3 rpm.
Warps: Assume all records I offer have no warping of any significance and all tracking is easy and effortless and should play on all turntables and even budget decks.
Weight of this Record: 146 grams.
A very good heavy weight for this label.
Country of Manufacture: England.
Rarity: Rare: and even harder to find in this type of condition.
This ultimate first issue includes a lovely clean and massively attractive cover, and the record is stunning, almost as-made with sound to match.
Selling in very small numbers, this is difficult enough just to find, and hardly any surface to be made available like this.
Original Year of Release: 1971 Matrix Nos: 6360031 1Y//1 1 1 2 6360031 2Y//1 1 1 1 one of the very first pressed Musicians: Patrick Campbell-Lyons, with the help of: Mel Collins, Tony Duhig, Jon Field, Jade Warrior and Sunbird.
There is no specific information on the cover and definitive contributions seem uncertain.
Brief Info: The fourth Nirvana album, now mainly featuring Patrick Campbell-Lyons with session musicians, but still sold as a Nirvana album.
Like all other albums, this is a rare one, seldom seen or offered.
This 1971 release has a far more progressive sound that replaced the more psych-pop and rock of the earlier titles.
It was a one-off on the massively collectable Vertigo label and sold in tiny numbers.
Few even pressed before, like so many on this label, briefly available and quickly deleted.
This copy is a beauty, the record probably no more than a couple of times, including my mandatory play-grade.
The cover, as wear-prone as most on Vertigo, has little, most present rubbing to the bottom back storage edge.
Not an album I have seen many times and by a massive distance, the very best.
Indeed this could prove a massive upgrade for serious Vertigo collectors and not one to be lost lightly.
Cover Grade and Format: EXCELLENT : A real looker to admire.
An unlaminated gatefold format with matt, smooth surfaces.
Printed and made in England by Howards Printers and including the original Swirl inner sleeve.
Cover Front: Wow, these are rarely seen quite like this, just two tiny surface spots near the bottom right corner and a tiny trace near the bottom left look hard.
A simple fact on these covers: when manufactured, the odd adhesive smear trace splashed on the cover here and there this resulted in the odd tiny pull inside and out most collectors will have seen this on occasion being a dealer for a number of years now, I have seen a fair number.
Almost nit-picking really, this front is almost sensational in terms of a typical Spiral wear-prone cover.
Few in the Swirl series were ever laminated and most are seen grubby, rubbed, ringworn, faded and creased.
Try finding this rare one better this has barely any of the aforementioned issues.
Cover Back: Again fantastic, just one or two tiny surface spots, again look very hard, this is close to unworn as-made.
Please note: the close-up picture of the spine top and it s writing may appear to show creasing there is NONE it is purely the graphic that may appear misleading.
Cover Inner Gatefold: Again one or two tiny surface spots, these minuscule traces apart, this is like new and looks fantastic.
Top Edges: Both very straight, almost flush and with barely any hint of wear at all.
Bottom Edges: Light to moderate patchy rubbing on the back edge, the front has hardly any.
Storage edges will rub, fact.
Minus this a near mint grade would have applied.
Right Edge s , and Type: The front has a tucked and folded real edge that is practically perfect and straight.
The back opening pair are very clean, mostly very sharp with any traces of thickening or burring minuscule and light as seen viewed end-on.
Record enters on this edge that is guaranteed untrimmed or enhanced in any way.
Spine and Text: Beautiful and as solid, straight and uncompressed as new.
Also folded square, so the edges meet up very closely together and almost parallel.
All text is perfect and unworn as seen in close-up, the surface clean, barely rubbed or faded.
Even the fold hinges are unscuffed or rubbed, that so hard on these types of covers.
Corners: Small tip rubs on the right tips, merely traces on the spine ends.
Excellent to near mint shape retained with no dinks or noteworthy creasing.
Cover Summary: One to hold and admire this retains an almost uncanny freshness.
With minimal wear or blemishes, this will take all the beating and few are likely to surface much better.
This beautiful item should please many, if not most collectors.
The Inner Sleeve: EXCELLENT : the original early 1971 date-coded Swirl inner has hardly any real wear at all.
Just the usual darkening of the seam adhesive and little else.
Two immaculate undamaged window circles and clear polylining.
Barely any creasing and all edges unsplit with no repairs.
Even these inners are becoming elusive like this, many torn and tatty, this looks lovely and perfect for it s considerable 45-years-of-age.
I have no issues myself with being gently reminded of true vintage.
Vinyl Condition/Visual Grading: MINT : and grading this less would not be doing this hardly played full justice.
A superb visual copy that is very clean with equally fine shine and very solidly pressed.
A copy with minimal plays on all the evidence, barely run-in in vinyl terns with any surface trace marks bordering on minscule and very light and faint as seen critically under bright angled light.
Just one very fine one shows a fraction more, even that with scrutiny and there are NO penetrating marks at all.
Visually a super record that does come very close to reminding of new and few will even exist a great deal better, of that I am almost certain.
Massive upgrade potential for serious Spiral collectors, this should please most collectors.
Album Played For Grading: Yes.
I play ALL records I offer before submitting to Ebay, also the record is played in its entirety unless clearly stated otherwise.
I do NOT play snippets or joining grooves to check for sound quality and quietness I play from the beginning to end via clinically revealing B W speakers that include the legendary tweeter from their awesome Nautilus range that reveals every blemish or minuscule sound present on any record.
Sound Quality and Audio Grading: This somewhat lost original Vertigo album plays up to it s high visual grading and beyond with barely anything to fault.
Strong, distortion-free sound, all frequencies are sharp and clear - sound quality is very high with a wide dynamic range and very detailed sound.
Any surface sounds barely even registered and this is an exceptional clean pressing with no tracking issues .
Few copies will match, let alone outperform this very early pressing significantly I feel sure.
But was this album ever repressed anyway? unlikely.
Both channels are clean and sharp, I am certain this record has been played very lightly and has been generally well stored and carefully handled, almost certainly in a non-smoking environment.
Nothing spoilt my pleasure when play-grading this scarce and elusive record.
It will prove very difficult to find significantly better and can be strongly recommended.
As played-graded on a high-end Linn LP12 Sondek turntable with Ittok Mk II arm and Ortofon Quintet Blue moving coil cartridge tracking at 2.2 grams.
Now one of the most established sellers on Ebay and still offering the finest and most accurately described and graded records I can find.
I pride myself on offering a variety of genres to keep my site as interesting as possible.
I will rarely offer any record that falls below a true Excellent grading, unless its of a certain rarity which will justify offering a lesser grade.
I try, to the best of my ability to describe as accurately and as honesty as I can all items I offer for sale with all the relevant information I can think of to help any potential bidder and collector.
You may notice I only submit records sparingly on Ebay as I Play-Grade every record I offer in their entirety also on higher-end equipment not just bits to guess a grade - visuals alone do not always tell a true or full story.
I will mention any defects or flaws no matter how small that I notice to be fair as possible to any interested collector I am very fussy and my buyers have the right to be too.
Every record I offer, whether it be a common or rare item deserves the same respect as far as I am concerned and will be treated the same - just because an item is rare does not always mean it s good.
I get just as much pleasure offering a relatively common record in stunning near mint condition as the real rare items.
All the pictures I use for your guidance are taken with a digital camera or scanned - they are NOT improved, cleaned-up or made better looking than they are with camera trickery or enhancing with digital programmes.
Room light factors can make things vary sometimes, that is hard to control, especially in winter.
If any picture I take looks more flattering than the actual item for any reason, I will clearly state the fact in the advert and vice-versa.
I hope the item below is to your liking - any questions can be emailed and I will do my very best to answer you.
I am enthusiastic, and have a fair degree of knowledge about many genres and I promise quality items - bid with confidence - excellence comes as standard and so does Near Mint regularly.
Please assume all records I offer have NO jumps, sticks, warps or writing on covers or labels unless clearly stated to the contrary.
Thanks for your interest and Good luck MIKE.
Equipment Used for Play-Grading: I now play-grade ALL the records I offer unless clearly stated to the contrary on the following equipment: Deck: Linn LP12/Hercules/Cirkus with Ittok Mk II arm and Ortofon Quintet Blue moving coil cartridge tracks at 2.2 grams .
Amps: Naim Supernait 2 with Project USB phono stage and Tellerium Black interconnects.
Speakers: B W 704 Floorstanding 3-way Monitors bi-wired with Tellurium Black terminated cable .
All records I offer on Ebay are cleaned on a professional VPI-17 vacuum machine before play-grading for the cleanest and best possible sound and will include a brand new lined inner and protective cover too.
Pictures taken with a Nikon D5000 SLR Digital Camera.
PACKING - THIS IS WHAT YOU GET.
What You Get: To confirm to the strict Ebay rules on shipping, I must now send ALL my packets Signed-For with NO exceptions.
Both buyers and sellers want their packets to have a safer journey and this is not a bad thing.
I now offer the fastest possible posting, often the very next day after payment is received or within two to three days maximum unless on holiday .
I only use FIRST-CLASS Mail.
The record s cover will be placed within a BRAND NEW soft protective sleeve and the actual record will be professionally cleaned on my new VPI-17 Pro vacuum system to give ultimate clean grooves and playing surfaces and the best possible looks and ultimate sound quality.
You will NOT get tired, dull looking, dust infested records inside worn and foggy covers with tatty inners from this seller and that s a promise and guarantee.
All records are posted in professional boxes NOT Mailers, these do not offer any real protection .
The record s are REMOVED from their main cover to avoid edge splits and placed within a brand new polylined inner.
The record s original inner will be included if available.
The boxes are then reinforced with at least TWO, ULTRA THICK stiffeners for maximum extra protection these are FOUR TIMES thicker than commercial stiffeners and are custom-made for oneadayrecords.
Really rare and expensive albums will even be Double Boxed if deemed necessary and possible.
When larger boxes are used, the thick record and stiffener sandwich is then thickly embedded into bubble-wrap to bulk out the record inside the box to centre the item inside to reduce the risk of damage still further.
Printed address labels are used for clarity as well as a sender label.
Customers requests or special needs for P P will be respected if at all possible but Signed-For posting is NOT an option anymore.
I do not profit on posting, better quality packaging costs, I offer probably the best-value and safest shipping possible for ultimate confidence.
The boxes and ultra thick double-wall stiffeners make a near impregnable fortress for safe shipping and this is used inland and overseas for ALL my records, not just the rare and expensive.
I will invoice any winning bidder as soon as possible after the auction ends.
My loss or damage rate is minuscule in over 14 years of Ebay trading and I consider that pretty exceptional.
The only damage rate acceptable for this seller is ZERO and I think my packets will offer just that.
It would take a vicious postman or postal service to damage these for sure.
Oneadayrecords is a MAILER-FREE ZONE they offer next-to-no-protection, and should be banned, no professional should consider using them in my opinion.
I discount of course for multiple purchases with a maximum of FIVE records per box one double can sometimes be included subject to total weight .
All postage costs are below and at the top of the listing.
NOTE: First Time Bidders: Please ask me first.
PLEASE NOTE: I now exercise my right to open a dispute after the Ebay rule of TWO days if no payment is received.
I will then cancel the dispute to end the bid, again after the mandatory FOUR days and then offer the item to the runner-up or relist.
The non-payer will also be blocked from my Ebay site as will any suspicious bids or bid withdrawals.
Small businesses need prompt payment to trade and these strict rules WILL be applied.

SOME GENERAL GUIDES TO WEAR AND CONDITIONS TO HELP YOU DECIDE My Use of Terminology: Surface Marks Superficial, usually light marks, hairlines or light scuffs that rarely sound.
Scratch a needle mark that goes below the record s surface, some will sound, some will not, my play-grade will inform.
Original a record that has been pressed with the first label design which does NOT necessarily mean a very first pressed record.
First Pressing A record that I believe or know to be a genuine very first pressed record.
I do not claim to always know for sure, and that s why I state the stamper and matrix numbers if at all possible, for those who claim to know what they all mean, the information is there for the collector to decide.
I prefer to use terms like Early Copy rather than First Pressing if I am not totally sure.
Surface Sound Mild, light sound, usually light crackle or similar.
Distortion Break up of the actual sound caused by groove wear or damage from a chipped stylus the most undesirable form of unwanted sound, vintage mono records were the most prone to this happening but not exclusively so.
The symptoms of distortion are high frequency clipping, moderate constant crackle or an echo type sound quality.
Violin, piano and vocals are most prone to groove-wear distortion.
Feathering Fraying or softening of the entry edge of a cover.
Covers with feathered entrance edges are more likely to have had the actual record inserted and removed more than a non-feathered, sharp-edged cover which are always far more attractive.
Set Off, actually a printer s term for dark ink leaving mild residue on pale or white ink when rested upon.
e.g.
when a gatefold cover has black ink closed against white, this can leave some black residue on the pale area this is mostly unavoidable or course.
The Argument for Vinyl Original sound and mix mono mixes are rarely available on CD , high quality sound on clean copies played on a hi-end dedicated analogue system breathtaking sound , beautiful, large format covers, artwork, inserts and even full size posters etc huge investment potential, and the pleasure of owning the real thing .
