In the 1970s, Jim Roche, a performance artist from the deep South, made his way into the New York artworld and began doing pieces in galleries where he'd go into a trance-like state and channel redneck characters from his home town. The result was this 2 LP set, "Learning to Count," released in 1982 by a museum in Kansas. These are the most intense audio works ever put to vinyl: insane rants, heavily racist, sexist. Many, many people will be offended by Jim Roche: the refrain of "Hippys Are Living Proof" is "Hippys are living proof that a nigger will f*ck a dog." And it gets worse. Much worse. No one is spared: Jews, Asians, Hispanics, etc. are all targets of Roche's rage. Needless to say, I do not endorse Mr. Roche's fantasies, but for intensity's sake and for true horrifying outsider madness, nothing outdoes this. Seems to be a popular play on free form/alternate indie FM radio! Mr. Roche is a professor in Florida- and did this as a kind of "mental projection"...
I use Goldmine magazine's strict guidelines for rating records, and most dealers think I rate TOO hard!
ALL items paid by Pay Pal ARE SENT with tracking and delivery confirmation WORLDWIDE, AND THE POSTAGE COSTS ARE REFLECTED IN MY SHIPPING PRICES ...
Overseas/Out of the USA shipment can only be sent via EXPRESS MAIL - which is the ONLY way to send an item out of the USA with tracking and a delivery confirmation, as specified by the Buyers & Sellers protection policies...Pay Pal has guaranteed delivery and this is what it COSTS (costs are generally $42+) ...
NO EXCEPTIONS! Yes, I know other Dealers do not charge for express, and send items without tracking at the First Class rate, but if lost or late, they will be held responsible and will have to refund all monies if tracking numbers are not provided ... I can no longer afford this free insurance and guaranteed prompt delivery to Out-of-the-USA buyers due to the slow customs offices and buyer fraud... I make NOTHING on postage/handling fees, and ship DAILY...
Every item I sell is considered a 5 star DSR rating across the boards, and if you have any problems I am always easy to contact, and offer postage paid returns if wanted for almost ANY reason ... 4 star or below ratings are considered BIG negatives on eBay's new feedback system ...
The eBay invoice accepts Pay Pal payments ONLY, and includes the Tracking/Delivery Confirmation fee in the postage totals...Please USE the shipping calculator in this ad to see the postage rates ...
* OTHER OVERSEAS / NON-USA POSTAGE OPTIONS* ::: I can easily receive the credit card information through my secure email, or through ebay's secure message system, and then be able have the item sent via the less expensive "First Class International" rates without tracking or a delivery confirmation (optional insurance available for $3 extra), which are about $16 to $19 on overseas mail, and $8 to $10 for Canada ... I have been accepting Master Card/Visa credit cards through my store for several decades, and NEVER had any security issues or bank problems!
