Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Original 1969 first pressing: THE CLASSIC ...WHAT THAT IS! LP BY SCREAMIN' JAY HAWKINS ...
Screamin' Jay Hawkins spent ten years dealing with a multitude of personal problems, including a prison term and a self-imposed exile to Hawaii. This album has two tunes that didn't get a lot of airplay but certainly got people's attention: "Feast Of The Mau Mau," a grossout laundry list of feast ingredients, along the lines of "There's Something Wrong With You"; and the self-explanatory "Constipation Blues," which is a lot more tasteful and funnier than you might think. The backing is much heavier R&B than his prior album, At Home, with wailing jams amid Screamin' Jay banging out bluesy keys ("Thing Called Woman"), and the band (Earl Palmer, drums; Lule Ritz, bass; Mike Anthony, guitar) is tight, though not overly so. However, the straightforward production reveals Hawkins's overreliance on a couple of chord progressions: half the tunes sound like "I Put A Spell On You." And Hawkins gets it on including a closing medley featuring snippets of each song. The album states it was recorded live at the Club Amigo, but it's clearly recorded in a studio, so we think that's a joke of some kind - the notes also thank President Nixon for "his efforts to recapture the era of the early 50's ... Screamin' Jay Hawkins was the first rock and roll humorist, and arguably the greatest (except maybe Zappa), salting even his most serious tunes with hilarious off-hand comments and other peculiar sounds.
