U.K.  BUYERS PLEASE IGNORE THE SHIPPING COSTS MARKED ON EBAY BECAUSE WE ARE ITALIAN SELLERS

 SO PLEASE DO NOT PAY IMMEDIATELY AFTER WINNING

BEFORE I SEND CORRECT INVOICE!

  BEFORE BIDDING, PLEASE

CAREFULLY READ BELOW THE CORRECT SHIPPING COST!

 THESE RATES ARE FOR BOXES UP TO 3 KG (1 to 5 LPs).

The shipping cost from Italy to UK and Europe from 1 up to 5 albums

[it is a question of weight, we have to stay under 3kg] is £13 with DHL courier

(NOT for Norway, Russia, Ukraine, Ireland, please ask for prices with registered letter),

 with a sturdy and well conceived box.

The shipping cost  also depends by the exchange euro/pounds. 

Still, starting from the 1st of December the Italian Post increased

the price for the international & domestic shipment. 

We have done our best to absorb any handling fees in order 

to keep all international shipping rates as low as we can

PLEASE ASK FOR ANY INFORMATION

There's simply no sound in the blues as easily digestible, accessible, instantly recognizable, 

and as easy to play and sing as the music of Jimmy Reed. His best-known songs

-- "Baby, What You Want Me to Do," "Bright Lights, Big City," "Honest I Do," 

"You Don't Have to Go," "Going to New York," "Ain't That Lovin' You Baby," 

and "Big Boss Man" -- have become such an integral part of the standard 

blues repertoire, it's almost as if they have existed forever. Because his style was 

simple and easily imitated, his songs were accessible to just about everyone 

from high-school garage bands having a go at it, to Elvis Presley, 

Charlie Rich, Lou Rawls, Hank Williams, Jr., and the Rolling Stones, making him 

-- in the long run -- perhaps the most influential bluesman of all. His bottom-string 

boogie rhythm guitar patterns (all furnished by boyhood friend and longtime 

musical partner Eddie Taylor), simple two-string turnarounds, country-ish 

harmonica solos (all played in a neck-rack attachment hung around his neck), 

and mush-mouthed vocals were probably the first exposure most white folks had to the blues
