Description
Hello record collectors and vinyl junkies, I'm in the process of selling off the majority of my record collection to finance the ongoing restoration of a classic car...hopefully without going bankrupt! So please check back often, as I'll be listing hundreds of LPs over the next few months.
Anyway, let's continue with this one by Gene Rains and his Group Lotus Land released by Decca Records in 1960 (DL-74064 Stereo)
Gene Rains recorded three LPs during the early 1960's exotica craze...each of his LPs is a lost classic from the genre and are worthy additions to any collection. Lotus Land was his first release and featured Rains on vibes, Paul Conrad on piano, Archie Grant on bass and flute and Alan Watanabe on percussion.
This LP features the following tracks:
- Love Is A Many Splendored Thing
- Hana Maui
- Harbor Lights
- Ringo Oiwake
- Lotus Land
- Africa
- The Hawaiian Wedding Song
- Jungle Drums
- Da Hil Sayo
- Danse Arabe
- Ebb Tide
- The Naked Sea
Both LP and cover are in beautiful condition. The LP has no marks! The cover has no seam splits, cut out marks, writing, rips, tears or other flaws.
I grade on a stricter scale than Goldmine (at least the watered down version that seems to exist here on eBay) I will take the time to describe any flaws on both the cover and record itself rather than give a letter grade that will mean something different to seemingly every record buyer and seller.
I am a very picky record collector and have been let down many times buying a record that was graded VG++ or NM here on eBay and other mail order services that were pretty beat up...and I'm sure that has happened to you too!
Sorry if the photos above appear washed out...this is caused by the camera flash...the colors are brighter and bolder in person.
Please feel free to email with any questions but keep in mind that unless there is a "Buy It Now" price listed above, I will not respond to any questions or offers to end an auction early...Thanks for your understanding!
The fine print:
Payment is due within three days after end of the auction. I only accept payment through Paypal - if you do not have a Paypal account, please email me BEFORE bidding to inquire about alternative payment methods.
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 several weeks or MORE to arrive. Media Mail shipping within the United States is $4.00 including mandatory Delivery Confirmation.
I do combine shipping for multiple purchases. The $4.00 covers between one and two albums. Additional albums (three and up) are an additional .50 cents each. Please wait for an invoice from me as the Paypal system does not calculate the combined shipping.
Overseas shipping is by Air Mail only. Shipping for one LP to Canada is $14.00 and everywhere else in the world is $20.00. Overseas shipping is by regular air mail and can take anywhere from one to four weeks to arrive. I do combine shipping on overseas purchases - I will send an invoice with the combined shipping cost if you purchase more than one LP.
Sorry I no longer ship to Italy or the Russian Federation due to the high number of "lost" packages.
All records are mailed in cardboard record mailers with cardboard inserts to prevent damage. LP will be removed from the cover to prevent seam splits while in transit.
Thanks for looking and good luck!
