Description
PLEASE TAKE TIME TO CAREFULLY READ THE DESCRIPTIONS BEFORE BIDDING, THANK YOU!
I take a great deal of pride providing for you, rare, quality, clean and well kept albums that you will be proud to own. I also promptly ship in well sealed, safe containers.
35% of my rare albums have been shipped to the following countries: AUSTRALIA, AUSTRIA, CANADA, DENMARK, ENGLAND, FRANCE, GERMANY, ISRAEL, ITALY, JAPAN, NETHERLANDS, RUSSIA, SPAIN and SWEDEN, with the remaining 65% staying in the UNITED STATES.
Most of the albums you will be viewing are from my 50+ year old collection and are original issues. Sometimes I include albums given to me or purchased from friends or relatives. I do not go to swap meets, garage sales, or thrift stores. I do go to record conventions as time permits. You will be bidding for very rare, original issue and quality albums. Sometime I will list rare re-issues or later pressings. They will be stated as (re) in the listing. I use Goldmine Standard Catalog as a grading guideline and tend to get conservative.
All records are played through prior to listing for accurate grading.
GRADING GUIDELINES!(NM or NM-) NM records are shiny with no visible defects such as writing, stickers or spindle marks on the labels. The album cover should have no creases, folds, seam splits or any signs of human handling. It also will have no ring wear.
(VG+) or (Excellent) May show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK. The cover might be marred by a cutout marking, small hole punch, a cut in the spine or a promotional stamp and even a tiny bit of ring wear.
(VG) Will have more obvious flaws such as lack of gloss, groove wear, light scratches and needle marks. When played there will be surface noise that will not overpower the music overall. Noise in the passages, between songs is common. The cover may have minor seam splits, writing, tape, stickers, ring wear and scuffs.
(VG-) Just a compounding of the VG category. Many obvious flaws but if the record is rare, may very well be worthwhile. I do not list record lower the above grades.
Remember, when you are bidding, most of these records are usually 50+ years old and have been out of print for a very long time. When you consider that, damage, loss, and normal use or wear has reduced the market to the point that few of these wonderful treasures are even available today.
I ship worldwide and accept Paypal, Cashier's check, or personal check. My auctions usually close Saturday or Sunday and I ship the next day (Monday morning) with a delivery confirmation or Customs Declaration. If you are not getting your albums within a few days, check with your post office.
POSTAGE RATES
Due to an increase in our postal rates as of May 11th, 2009 my shipping rates will have a small increase. Media Mail Rates in the United States will remain $4.00, no change. Shipments to Canada will be as follows; $9.00 for 1 album and $4.00 for each additional album. Asia, Europe and South America: $17.00 for 1 album (an increase of .70 cents). Additional albums will be discounted $9.00 per album. These changes will take place May 15, 2009.
Due to the value of my collection, I will help save you shipping fees. I have ordered special album boxes for shipping. All boxes will have four FRAGILE, Phonograph Record stickers. This is an attempt to let the postal people know they are handling sensitive boxes. There will also be a mailing conformation. Albums will have clear covers with inserts. Thank you for your interest. I hope the information is of value to you. Be sure to review my feedback and PLEASE TAKE TIME TO CAREFULLY READ DESCRIPTIONS BEFORE BIDDING. Thank you and Good luck bidding!
FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION: There's no doubt that this is the Mona Lisa of James Brown's legendary recording career. Please, Please, Please and recorded in 1961 on the King Label 610 in High Fidelity. This is the black 3" Crownless King Label with Silver Print and valued at $1000+ NM in the Goldmine Price Guide. The thick album has seen better days. The seams have been repaired and there is a tear at the bottom of the cover. The liner notes in back are clean with just a hint of discoloration, due to old tape. There are some scuffs. The thick, shiny record has maintained much of its glossy look and the labels are in pretty good shape, showing only spindle marks and no scratches. There is a faint initial on one side. I inspected the legendary record under my 100 watt light. there was one feelable scratch, some scuffs and light surface scratches, none of which impacted the listening experience. I played the record just prior to listing. There were no sticks and two quick skips. There were pops and hisses that could be heard but did not overwhelm the listening experience. The songs include; Side 1, Please Please Please, Chonnie On Chon, Hold My Baby's Hand, I Feel That Old Feeling Coming On, Just Won't Do Right, Baby Cries Over The Ocean, I Don't Know, Tell Me What I Did Wrong. Side 2, Try Me, That Dood It, Begging Begging, I Walked Alone, No No No No, That's When I Lost My Heart, Let's Make It, Love Or A Game. The rarest of all James Brown's albums and based on the Goldmine Guide, the album is graded Good Plus, the listening experience VG- and the record VG-. There is no reserve.
