She's a beauty, all right, and her single's are dangerously rare indeed these days.  Perhaps that's because no man in his right mind wants to voluntarily let go of Katty's hot picture sleeves, this one showing her in full color on one side and in glamorous black and white (my personal preference) on the flip, looking like a bit of a French mod.  The music, which is why you buy these things after all, finds her in lounge pop ye-ye chanteuse mode on the plug side, as the DJs say.  But when you flip it over, who KNEW that the title "Tu Vinci Sempre" would translate to "Come on, come on, come on touch me babe" as sung by Jim Morrison?  We all knew Jose Feliciano had a thing for the Doors - he covered "Touch Me" too, and of course his "Light My Fire" pretty much jumpstarted the whole "let's do acid rock songs reinvented as Euro lounge pop" thing.  But who KNEW a gorgeous little French yeye babe named Katty Line, Catherine Denise Frederique Boloban to her mom and dad, had tackled the same jazzy horn-laden Morrison song, kept in pretty much intact with the tempo and blaring horns, albeit cruder and in mono, in an effort to claim the Lizard King for all of femme-dom?  Was she, then in fact, the Lizard QUEEN?  Here, for these brief 2 or 3 minutes, she was.

(THE LESS EXCITING STUFF...)

First class shipping is $4.00 in the US, with each additional record only $1 additional shipping.  Delivery confirmation included in the shipping costs.  US International postal rates just shot up nearly double this past week, so please take note of the new rates.  I don't make a profit on shipping costs - these are what the post office charges me.  Air mail shipping to Canada starts at $10 US, each additional record $3 shipping.  Air mail shipping everywhere else in the world starts at $13 US, with each additional record only $4 shipping.  

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. 

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.
