VARIOUS ARTISTS I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore (1927-1948)
new unplayed stock copy (nm/ex)
2007, USA, Mississippi Records MRR-013

Breathtaking comp of tracks from old 78s made by immigrants in America. Fascinating, amazing, out of print and totally recommended. This album gives me goosebumps. Vinyl is unplayed stock, but graded slightly down due to an inoffensive scuff.
Here is a review from Boomkat:
"I'm sorry, but any record that opens with a vintage rebetika track is pretty much sold for me, and since this record does, the rest doesn't really matter, it's already awesome. Yep the first track on this killer re-issue is from Marika Papagika and sets the pace (and standard) for the rest of the album, which is a showcase of music recorded in the USA between 1927 and 1948 but rooted in other cultures. So from the initial blast of gorgeous Greek folk, we're thrown into Calypso, Appalachian folk, Cajun, Gospel and even Chinese influenced folk music and every moment is as breathtaking as the last. This is a truly shocking collection of American primitive music and concentrates on the oft-ignored section of American culture, the immigration which has made it what it is today. In this we hear what shaped American music at this time and we can hear clues as to how it has influenced the development of what we hear from America now. This selection is just so important, from the instrumentation down to the sentiment behind the lyrics, giving a real focus on how secluded and ignored these people must have been feeling in their new 'home', and mirroring the journeys we read about time and time again. If you had any interest in the American Primitive series of compilations, or more importantly in the Nonesuch Explorer compilations, this strikes in a place where the two meet and is breathtaking from start to finish. Essential listening!"





GRADING:
(cover/record): NM / EX / VG+ / VG / VG- / G / F / P
NM Like new. I don't use "mint." Record should look like you bought it new yesterday and be free of flaws and defects. EX A record that is otherwise NM but may have some hairlines or other small inconsequential blemishes; pristine sleeve with a ding, etc. VG+ / VG / VG-  Should really mean "very good" and this range of grades has been given a bad reputation by unscrupulous sellers. Various degrees of scuffs, scratches and other minor problems and signs of wear and noise, but even a VG- record shouldn't skip or be warped or anything like that. Basically decent used records. G This is where bigger issues like deep scratches, mild warps and small sticks can occur. F Bigger problems here; warps, skips, sticks, totally split seams, etc. P Completely hammered, unusable garbage. I hope I never have anything in this shape.

SHIPPING:
International bidders, please note that due to chargeback and mail problems, any records over $100 I must insist on shipping via registered international priority mail; this works out to around $25-30, but it is for both my and your protection; I would also ship $100+ records inside the US via priority mail. I combine shipping always.
Please disregard eBay's flat $4 shipping rate; it is impossible to mail a record anywhere but inside the USA via media mail only for $4. Please see the rough shipping costs below:
USA: Media Mail $4 for first 4-5 LPs / Priority Mail $8, $2 each subsequent LP; multiple LPs or heavy gatefolds may count as two LPs Canada/Mexico: $8 first record, $2 each subsequent; multiple LPs or heavy gatefolds may count as two LPs International: $14 for a single LP; $25-30 for priority mail for LPs over $100.
All records are shipped in sturdy mailers with cardboard stiffener pads (laid against the grain of the mailer's cardboard). While I make every effort through solid packing to make sure your LPs arrive in the condition they leave my house in, I cannot be held responsible for any extreme actions on the part of the post office.

Please be sure to check out my other auctions of prog, psych, folk, rock, international, experimental and all kinds of other interesting LPs and 45s!
