Hello vinyl junkies, I’m knee deep (elbow deep?) in grease and rusty or missing parts while restoring a classic car (and have another waiting in the wings if I EVER finish the current one) so I'll be slowly selling off the bulk of my record collection to finance these projects… therefore I'll be continuing to list hundreds of LPs over the next few months, so please keep checking back

Anyway, let's continue with this one by Jose Curbelo and his Orchestra Wine, Women and Cha Cha released by Fiesta Records in the late 1950's or early 1960's. (FLP 1219 Figh Fidelity Monophonic) Original pressing yellow label with black print.

From the liner notes:

Wine, Women and Cha Cha is just another case of giving the dancing public its wish. In the preparation of this LP package, both Fiesta Records and Jose Curbelo took special care to tailor the music of today's dancer whose orientation has veered so strongly to Latin music with a relaxed, medium tempoed beat. In stressing the Cha-Cha with a sprinkling of the mambo in the most beguiling tempo for dancing, this collection is sure to tickle the feet of dancers, the country over.

1. The Hissing Cha Cha
2. Melody In Cha Cha
3. Que Se Funan
4. Sun Sun Babae
5. Que Es Guapacha
6. El Pescador
7. Figaro-Figaro
8. The Web
9. Rey Negro
10. Eque Tumbao
11. Zzoita
12. Clap Hands And Cha Cha Cha

I grade on a stricter scale than Goldmine! (or at least the watered down version that seems to exist here on eBay). I'll take the time to describe any flaws rather that give a letter grade that means something different to seemingly every record seller and buyer... I've received too many LPs graded by sellers VG++ or NM that were pretty beat up, and I'm willing to bet it's happened to your too.

Sorry if the cover looks washed out in the photo below…this is caused by a reflection from the camera flash… the colors are brighter and bolder in person.

If this LP caught your eye, please check my other auctions over the next few months for several other albums including space age pop, lounge, bachelor pad, exotica and weird & strange recordings and more. I will combine shipping on multiple purchases.

Please feel free to e-mail with any questions.

The Fine Print:

Payment is due within seven days after end of auction. - Due to a recent change in eBay policy I can no longer accept any form of "mailed" payment - Paypal is the only payment method I am able to accept. If you do not have a Paypal account, please contact me before bidding to see if we can arrange an alternate payment method.

Due to overwhelming requests, I generally ship domestic packages by Media Mail. However, please keep in mind that while media mail is the cheapest shipping method it is also the slowest. Media mail can take up to one month or MORE to arrive. Media Mail shipping within the United States is $3.50 including mandatory Delivery Conformation.

I do combine shipping for multiple purchases. The $3.50 covers between one and two albums. Additional albums (three and up) are an additional 25 cents each. (Please wait for an invoice from me, as the Paypal system does not calculate the combines shipping)

If you need your purchase quicker than Media Mail will provide, please e-mail me and I'll let you know the Priority Mail shipping cost. Depending on your location Priority rates range between $4.95 to $8.75 for one LP.

I do not charge any "shipping" or "handling" fees... you pay what the post office charges me.  I usually ship within 48 hours of receiving Payment.

Overseas shipping is by Air Mail Only (surface mail is not available!) Shipping for one LP to Canada is $7.00, Mexico is $11.00. Anywhere else in the world is $14.00. Overseas shipping is by regular air mail and can take anywhere from one and four weeks to arrive.  I do combine shipping for overseas purchases also - I will send an invoice with the shipping amount if purchasing more than one LP.

I am sorry but I do not accept bids from (or ship records to) bidders from Italy or the "Russian Federation."

All records are mailed in cardboard record mailers with cardboard inserts to prevent damage. LP will be removed from cover for shipping to prevent seam splits while in transit.

I do offer a money back guarantee if you are not pleased with your purchase. I don’t do this for a living, it is supposed to be a fun hobby, so If there is a problem at any point during the transaction, please let me know so we can work out a solution!  

Thanks for looking and good luck!
