COVER IN EXCELLENT shape, some minor moisture stains on back

VINYL plays VG+, light surface behind music

Don’t let that squeaky clean cutesie cover shot fool ya – the Jensen Sisters, with their matching Junior Sample garanimals and brushed-back Farrah Fawcett majorette hair, aren’t only “dancing in the autumn breeze,” they’re also getting off a few good Hendrix licks for the winter solstice and throwing in some fuzzed-out late 60’s garage band moves for the upcoming fall harvest as well.  One look at that Rick Nielson-approved double neck electric axe should clue you in that these lovely lasses might be more Shaggs than Bugaloos, and they are, God bless ‘em.  You’d never know this was 1978 after listening to the groovy FUZZ guitar that permeates “You Lit The Fire” and I don’t think they’re talking about the campfire where they’re about to roast up some smores.  And the liquidy Hendrix wah wah guitar that starts the title track makes you think these girls haven’t listened to much beyond 1968 either.  Which makes ‘em even hotter in my book.  Okay, so the lead vocals are about as clean and cute as a My Little Pony soaking in a tub of Mr. Bubble, but listen close and you’ll hear some mighty grown-up admissions among the angelic harmonies.  “I can’t deny the way I wanna see you,” the Swiss Misses of Lenny Kaye’s fantasies sing on “I Can’t Deny.”  “I can’t deny the way I wanna hold you the way I do in my dreams.”  As their Hello Kitty colored guitars spin, drip and cascade in liquidy caramel-coated tears over their marshmallow harmonies.  So the little girls are having DREAMS now, are they?  Well, I’ve got some too, ladies.  And one of ‘em involves double-necked fuzz guitars, crude Shaggs backbeats and a trio of Nancy Drew lookalikes with Farrah Fawcett wings in an undisclosed and remote forest clearing where we can talk about obscure Hendrix outtakes, the merits of the Music Machine, and what three lonely riot grrrls would’ve done with Leif Garrett back in 1978.  And it wouldn’t be dancing in no autumn breeze either.

PLEASE NOTE I NO LONGER SHIP TO ITALY DUE TO A CORRUPT POSTAL SYSTEM (THERE, NOT HERE).  BUYERS FROM ITALY AGREE TO PAY FOR GLOBAL PRIORITY MAIL INSURED ONLY!

The less exciting stuff

Media mail shipping with delivery confirmation starts at $4.00 in the US, with each additional record only $1 additional shipping.  Overseas shipping has, unfortunately, gone way up in the fast few months, which translates to $15 for the first LP to Canada ($3 each one thereafter) and $24 for the first LP everywhere else in the world, with each add'l LP an extra $5 (so it pays to buy more, nudge nudge wink wink).   I accept payments through Paypal. 

I try to grade as best as I can, and I list as many blemishes/imperfections I can find (writing, ringwear, scuff marks, etc.) – Also, please note that I DO listen to these albums – I may not listen to every track, but my grades are based on LISTENING, not just looking at it, since chances are you’ll be listening to the record you buy, not just looking at it.  Most of the albums I sell are the ones I’ve enjoyed for years – and I treat my records with kid gloves.  But sounds speak louder than words, so check out the sound clips below – they’re from the actual record you’re bidding on. 

SHIPPING AND PACKAGING

Listen, I buy a bunch of records too (when I’m not getting outbid at the last second, which is more often than not) – and I know what it’s like to get a rare, one-of-a-kind album packaged dangerously in a flimsy bubblewrap package.  I hate that too.  So rest assured, I ALWAYS package albums with stiff cardboard reinforcements, same for 45s.  And yes, the records are removed from the sleeves (for albums).  I ship out once a week, every Friday, because I have a regular day job.  But I’d be willing to give that up if you’d all be so kind as to bid my items up to stupidly high amounts. 

 For more security and international tracking, you may request GLOBAL PRIORITY MAIL - but bear in mind the cost of this service is upwards of $30.  For expensive items, however, it may be well worth it.  Unfortunately, there isn’t a cost-effective way of tracking parcels to foreign countries yet, and shipping times vary depending on your country’s postal system.   Italy in particular seems to be really bad at delivering packages quickly, or delivering packages at all, now that you mention it.  I will always email you when your package ships, but once it’s on its way, please don’t ask me when it will arrive because I don’t know.  If the world’s postal systems can ever agree on a universal tracking system that’s affordable, I’ll be the first to use it.

NOW IT’S YOUR TURN…

I will always leave positive feedback for successful transactions, and would appreciate the same in return.  All I ask of you is the following – please pay for your items within 14 days of the close of auction.  Compared to other sellers, that’s a generous amount of time, so if you don’t pay within 2 weeks, then I have to assume something’s wrong.  You’ll get an Ebay payment reminder at that point, and possibly a decapitated horse head in your bed.  If, after 30 days, you still haven’t forked up the cash, I’ll relist the item and yell at you if I ever see you in town.
