PEOPLES PEOPLE * SPIRIT OF DAVID * Spiritual Jazz RARE

$

327

I know, I know, it's a Jazz LP, not a funk or soul record, but since eBay's Jazz genre list seems to have been dreamt up back in the 1940s, I figure this listing will probably be the best way to get it to those most interested in it so here goes...

The Peoples People Present the Spirit of David (Voice of the People `76)
Cover: EX (beautiful silkscreen art cover has some sticker residue top right and a few scuffs to the silkscreen ink but only the faintest hint of ringwear and no splits or creases, see pictures)
Disc: M- gorgeous, cheap private pressing plays with occasional LIGHT surface noise in quieter parts.

Lovely copy of this extremely rare local Bay Area spiritual jazz private press out of Oakland, CA. Funky groovy spacy meditative electric jazz with African & Middle Eastern flavors. To my rock `n roll ears, some of this sounds a bit like early GONG but those who actually know a thing or two about jazz will no doubt think of better comparisons. Maybe a spacier, less hot-tubby CTI vibe?
Musicians:
Jeff Jones - tenor sax
Ray Vega - percussion, congas
Steve Espanosa - piano
Emmons Porter - bass
Jack Spinovich - drums
Leonard Franklin - guitar
Recorded at Mantra Studios, San Mateo, CA

Hi everyone, I have changed my shipping policies to make shipping CHEAPER for most of my European and Asian customers. I no longer require registered mail for international shipments over $100, but if you would like this service (for an additional $11.50) it's your choice - let me know, it's a good way to prevent your package from disappearing into the abyss of the postal service.
I still require fully insured EXPRESS mail for orders over $100 to certain countries. See the list below for more information.

International customers: Unless you request another method, I will ship via International First Class. This costs $14.50 for the first disc and $4.00 each for every additional disc. I also might invoice you an additional $4.00 if the LP COVER is especially heavy (Shadoks label releases, etc.) - this almost NEVER happens, but if I do it's only because the post office charges ME more money to ship it. If this happens, please do not complain or jerk me around for weeks over it like some dude just recently did to me  (:oP)  In return I promise never to snivel about standing in line, paying for supplies etc. or to charge you mysterious "handling" fees. As someone who buys as well as sells, I treat customers the way I'd like to be treated. That being said, this is an auction, not a flea market or a record show, and I will not reply to emails asking me to bend the rules or cut deals. Aw-ritey? DISREGARD eBay's shipping calculator. It is occasionally accurate but only occasionally. Go by the info provided in this listing and in the invoice that *I* send you via eBay. Thanks for understanding. Sorry for the rant, but May was "flaky customer month" here at Tinteardrop world HQ and frankly I'm burnt out!

RARE RECORDS LISTED EVERY WEEK OR TWO: psych, prog, private press, folk, soul, reggae, metal, punk/wave, experimental, weirdness and more.

DO NOT SEND PAYMENT UNTIL I SEND YOU AN INVOICE VIA EBAY (not that invoice that eBay so thoughtfully sends out automatically, but the one from me, with a personal message from me and correct shipping costs for your location) THANKS!

See my eBay "me" page for more detailed info on grading, etc. ..........

Your bid constitutes acceptance of all this boring stuff below, so please read it carefully, as just about everything you'll need to know when bidding is covered here, thanks.

IF YOU WIN THIS ITEM, please take a minute or two to click on the link to this listing in your notification email and read this stuff again so there'll be no surprises for either of us. Thanks again.

I accept PAYPAL ONLY.
NO eChecks, please!!! It takes an extra week for eCheck payments to reach my paypal account - this also means your shipment will delayed. I accept PayPal payments via PayPal balance, bank account or credit/debit card only! Thanks for understanding.

Payment is due within 3 DAYS of winning. That's plenty of time in the age of PayPal, yes?

I do not end auctions early. Please do not ask.

**I pack all LPs outside of the covers, in their inner sleeves, both in a plastic outer bag, in order to prevent seam splits.**

*** IMPORTANT: SHIPMENTS WORTH $100 OR MORE MUST BE SENT BY EXPRESS MAIL TO THE FOLLOWING DESTINATIONS: FRANCE, ITALY, GREECE, MEXICO/SOUTH AMERICA/CENTRAL AMERICA, RUSSIAN FEDERATION/UKRAINE. The cost for this is approximately $42.00 for the 1st LP.
Express mail shipments to these countries will be FULLY INSURED AND DECLARED AT THEIR TRUE VALUE AND YOU WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO PAY A FEE TO YOUR LOCAL CUSTOMS OFFICE!  Absolutely no exceptions, please don't ask. DO NOT BID $100 OR MORE UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO PAY FOR THIS! Thank you. **

POSTAGE RATES: This is a ROUGH, honest estimation of postage charges, charged at cost, you pay what I have to pay, I do not make a profit on shipping. In fact, like most sellers who endeavor to charge at cost, I frequently take a loss on shipping.

DOMESTIC U.S. SHIPPING:
Media Mail: $4.00
Priority Mail (faster): $9.50
$1.00 for each additional LP

CANADA / MEXICO:
$9.50 airmail
$3.00 for each additional LP

EUROPE / ASIA:
$14.50 First Class airmail
$4.00 for each additional LP
$42.00 Express mail (for 1st LP)

EXPRESS MAIL ($42.00 for the 1st LP) IS MANDATORY FOR ORDERS OVER $100 FOR THE FOLLOWING COUNTRIES:
FRANCE
ITALY
GREECE
MEXICO & SOUTH AMERICA & CENTRAL AMERICA
RUSSIAN FEDERATION/UKRAINE.
THESE PACKAGES WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY INSURED FOR THE FULL VALUE OF YOUR ORDER! NO EXCEPTIONS. THIS WILL PROBABLY RESULT IN EXTRA CHARGES FROM YOUR LOCAL CUSTOMS OFFICE! DO NOT BID IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO PAY THESE CHARGES!

For other countries, I highly recommend spending an extra $11.50 for INTERNATIONAL REGISTERED MAIL. It provides a additional tracking number, and requires postal employees' signatures at various stops along the way, as well as your signature upon receipt of the package. It is known to be a VERY secure international shipping method.

INSURANCE is NOT available for international First Class shipping, but is available for Express shipping to most countries.

SORRY TO GET HEAVY ON YOU BUT...I have zero tolerance for late payers and if I don't get your $$ on time (3 days from notification,) the item will most likely be offered to someone else. If you need a few extra days, LET ME KNOW, don't just disappear and assume I'll be cool with it.  If you've won something from me and want to wait and see if you win anything on my next auction, again, PLEASE let me know, don't just blow off paying me. That's just rude. I'm happy to hold stuff in order to save on your shipping costs, but only if you communicate with me and pay your current invoice. Winners who flake out will be blocked from future auctions.

SPECIAL REQUESTS RE: SHIPPING/PACKING AND SO ON: If you insist on having your package reinforced with vulcanized rubber, blessed by Tibetan monks, shipped across the desert via camel, etc. etc. then for fox sake get in touch BEFORE YOU BID and I'll see what I can do. THANKS!
