Georgie Fame was just beginning to settle down into a more comfortable, and certainly less hell-raisingly energetic mood as he hit his fourth album, and Sound Venture -- his second successive British Top Tenner -- does slow down accordingly. But only in comparison with its barnstorming predecessors.

Any album, after all, that includes covers of King Curtis' "Lovey Dovey" and James Brown's "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" is scarcely going to lie quietly on the turntable, while the wealth of Fame originals that follow were restrained only in the absence of his Blue Flames to truly stir things up. Certainly there is little indication that this was the same man who recently hit the charts with an innocuous version of "Sunny," although the album's success certainly rode on the back of that hit.

And, if his subsequent albums did fall more fully into the realm of pop easy listening (presaging Fame's decade-end partnership with fellow reformed pounder Alan Price), Sound Venture at least stands at the harder-hitting end of the bridge its maker was crossing -- a sound venture indeed.

---------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COMBINED SHIPPING ON ALL 12" VINYL / LPS / 12" EPS / 12" SINGLES - PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!!

We offer combined shipping on all LPs / 12" Vinyls: our shipping rates are listed above. HOWEVER shipping packages that weigh more than 2kg is VERY expensive. Therefore we can only offer combined shipping up to a maximum of SIX (6) LPs / 12" vinyls. Any extra purchases will be invoiced, packaged and shipped separately.

***Due to the physical logistics of how I can package orders, I will not combine box sets with other items, I will only package them individually***

---------------------------------------------------

COMBINED POSTAGE FOR DIFFERENT FORMATS will be invoiced at my discretion:

While I am happy to combine (for example) one or two 7” singles into one package with 12” records, sometimes it simply isn’t practical (like if you want me to combine one 12” record with three or more 7” records). I simply do not think that these combinations can be packaged together safely and securely. Therefore these will be invoiced separately as two packages.

IF YOU ARE UNSURE, please contact me before bidding!

---------------------------------------------------

Sorry but I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks of auctions (see below).

---------------------------------------------------

PAYMENT

I would appreciate payment within seven days of the auction’s end. If you want to bid on more of my auctions ending a week later please inform me. I will wait and issue a combined invoice at the close of the second week’s auctions.

However, I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks and in these cases would appreciate payment promptly after the close of the second week’s auctions.

I am sorry to have to introduce these measures – I always try to be patient and allow buyers to bid on extra auctions and / or delay payment. Unfortunately some buyers have been stretching out transactions to unacceptable lengths so I feel I have no option but to limit ‘carried over’ transactions to two weeks.
