Description
THE SAVOY BROWN BLUES BAND "Shake Down" Debut album, featuring Martin Stone with Kim Simmonds on guitars, Brice Portius on leads Decca Records IMPORT (U.K.) stereo SKL 4883
- VINYL & WEAR: Looks beautiful and rarely played; near-immaculate. Very clean sound; no crackling or skips
- COVER & WEAR: Thin laminated Euro-style with a thin spine; considerable wear due to handling/storage. An old $1.98" price sticker is at top-right corner; I bought this on Aug 9th, 1972 and it's been in my collection ever since! Various small creases, scuffs, and marks are present, but thanks to the laminate don't break the inks. Reverse has ring wear (see photo) and a 1" thin pen line beneath Kim's photo. Spine has a spot of wear, but the title is visible and legible.
- INNER SLEEVE: Decca plastic-lined white windowed (both sides) import-style inner sleeve, in original shape, with some minor age-wrinkling of the paper. No splits.
- LABEL: Decca Records label, FFSS; made in England. A price sticker is affixed to side one (see photo). No wear, writing, or marks.
INTRO: I've been out of eBay action for awhile and lost my TRS and PS ratings, but am experienced in giving my customers 100% satisfaction (or as close as I can get). Prior to this I'd been selling baseball cards and comics with excellent results. Now it's come time to pare down my record collection! The albums have been well-kept and prior to shooting are cleaned with the Hunt E.D.A. Mark 6 Brush, and played on a Pro-ject Audio Systems 1.2 turntable for audio quality. Rest assured that I'll pack and ship your records with care. I'm unable to accept returns at this point, but will work out any problems with you (and have rarely had any).
GRADING: I'm not a professional grader, but have collected and cared for records since the mid-'60s when I began collecting. I'm uncomfortable with the vagueness and subjectivity of modern grading terminology, but I'll describe the sound and quality to the best of my ability. I normally play areas of the record for pops or skips and then examine the vinyl visually under strong light. Likewise the cover's quality and "feel", as well as inner sleeve, label, and other notes. Please refer to the photographs when considering your bid, and if you have any questions or want better photos, please ask and I'll respond quickly.
N.A. SHIPPING: I'll ship US Media Mail by default, but will ship however you wish, as long as you foot the bill. If you want quicker service than Media Mail, research the costs/availability and we can make arrangements before payment. I'll most always ship 1-2 days after cleared funds are received. Also factor in insurance/customs if necessary; the winning bidder is responsible for these.
- USA: $4 for USPS Media Mail w/ Delivery Confirmation; + $2 for each additional album (+$3 for double albums)
- CANADA: $10.99 for USPS 1st Class Mail; +3 for each additional album (+$4 for double albums) Please be aware of insurance and customs fees; full value will be indicated on forms. Shipping method to Canada will require tracking and/or delivery confirmation, as some methods don't allow for this.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: I haven't shipped International before, so it'll be touch-and-go until I sort things out. The address needs to be verifiable so as to allow for tracking/confirmation of delivery. Also, please consider insurance, customs, and other costs before bidding. As above, I'll ship in any (track-able) manner which you prefer, as long as you bear the cost. It may take a day or two longer to arrange than the US shipping, but hopefully not. For now, I'll go with USPS First Class Mail, which is estimated at $18.99, + $5 for each additional album or + $8 for double albums.
Please note: these prices aren't etched in stone, and I'll be adjusting them as I see how these methods work. I have no interest in charging any fees other than the actual shipping, so will try to adjust them downwards as time goes on :-) It's been hard to find a standard lowest-rate, but I'm still looking (and will welcome any advice!).
OUTRO: Over the next few weeks (and hopefully beyond!) I'll be putting up much of my record collection of LPs and 45s, which includes many rarities, promos and promotional items. I plan on eventually expanding into miscellany such as tour programs and magazines, so please stay tuned!
Thank you for looking and (considering) bidding on this item, and good luck!
