IRVING ASHBY - ROCK-A-CHA/FEELIN' BLUE [KNIGHT 2004]

Label: Knight 2004 Titles: "Rock-A-Cha" & "Feelin' Blue" Year: 1958
Irving Ashby was a well respected musician throughout the 1940's & 1950's. His early work placed him behind Nat King Cole for several years. From there on he would become one of the most prominent studio musicians in the late 1950's providing musical accompaniment for the likes of LaVern Baker, B.B. King, Pat Boone and more. He developed a friendship with Ernie Freeman, who he worked with often. Freeman's influence can be heard on this record as he wrote "Feelin' Blue" and co-wrote "Rock-A-Cha" with Ashby. This is a great record and ties in many genres. The early surf sound can be heard through the electric guitar, rockabilly is prominent in some of the patterns, and there is no arguing this can be classified as a "tittyshaker." 
The label has minimal label wear. There are no stickers on either side. There are the names "Jodie" and "Sherry" written in black marker on the B side. The vinyl has minimal signs of playwear, with nothing to impact play. You can listen to the actual record here.

*Please note - my turntable is a simple ION Profile LP simply for converting media. It is by no means a high end turntable and the sound quality will be MUCH better on a higher end turn table.
All records come with basic sleeves unless a factory or picture sleeve is indicated in the description. I do not use a grading system as I feel that everyone interprets it differently. For example, I see many records listed as being Near Mint, yet the label is torn or has writing on it. To me that is not near mint. I prefer to describe the record as best I can, post photos, and allow viewers to listen to the actual record as to determine for themselves how the record should be graded.
I ship using Media Mail at $3.00 and deliver the day of or after the payment is received. Please remember that shipping costs also include the cost of materials to ship the order. International shipping is available. The cost to ship this Internationally is $12.00.  I will also combine shipping. I try to keep shipping costs as low as possible, however recent increases by USPS have affected what I charge to ship - and believe me, I am NOT happy about it.
I am happy to ship internationally, however I will not change the value of the record. There are many reasons for this. First, I enjoy selling records and do not want to jeopardize that. Second, I include a receipt with the order and if customs were to examine the package, they would see the difference. Third, if something were to happen to the item in shipping, I would refund the customers money, but then not be able to claim what was lost. Thanks you for understanding.
