Master percussionist Dom Um Romao on Kavi Alexander's audiophile Water Lily label Saudades WLA-CS-16, with Chico Freeman on reeds, long out of print. Vinyl near mint, purchased new and played twice, cover has a bump/wrinkle lower left (shown in photo) the way it came to me, no other issues. Now very, very hard to find – outstanding music and sonics.

SHIPPING COSTS:All records are shipped in extra-sturdy, oversize heavy cardboard mailers for maximum protection. In these mailers, a single lp weighs over 500 grammes. These provide unbeatable protection, and while they are expensive I do not charge for them. Swiss postal rates have NOT gone up, but the dollar has lost 40% of its value in relation to the franc as well as the euro and the Swiss post office is very strict about weight. ALL RECORDS ARE SHIPPED AT ACTUAL COSTS, AT CURRENT EXCHANGE RATES, THERE ARE NO SPURIOUS HANDLING CHARGES, BUT PLEASE BEAR THE COST OF SHIPPING IN MIND WHEN YOU BID AND WHEN GIVING FEEDBACK ON SHIPPING – I DO NOT SET THE POSTAL FEES OR THE EXCHANGE RATES, AND I DO NOT CHARGE FOR EXPENSIVE MAILERS. The least expensive shipping option is standard (called here non-priority) air mail, definitely air mail (not surface!) but slower than priority air, can take 7-10 days for Europe, 3-4 weeks for the rest of the world but often much faster. For buyers outside Europe, I would definitely recommend this option. The cost of mailing from 501-1,000 grammes is 13$ for Europe and 19$ for the rest of the world. For those wishing faster delivery, the cost of mailing priority air from 501-1,000 grammes is 22$ for Europe, and 34$ for the rest of the world. I gladly combine records for shipping with multiple purchases. The charge for packages weighing from 1001 to 2000 grammes (normally 4-5 records) is as follows: non-priority is 22$ for Europe, 33$ for the rest of the world/priority air is 33$ for Europe, 46$ for the rest of the world.  In the past I have stated that I will not ship items except through registered mail, in view of the huge increase in postage costs due to the decline of the dollar I will no longer be firm on this, but I do recommend it and I will NOT assume responsibility for unregistered items! This is to protect the buyer as much as myself. It costs 7$ to register a package and insure it up to 150 US$ with the Swiss postal system, this provides a tracking number and guarantees against theft, loss or damage. Additional insurance for more expensive items can also be purchased at additional shipping costs. Those who decline to register their parcel must clearly state so in writing with their payment.

Due to problems with postal delivery NO SALES TO INDONESIA/MAINLAND CHINA, TAIWAN AND HONG KONG ARE FINE. I WILL ONLY SHIP REGISTERED MAIL TO ITALY.

Thanks for looking, more rare and collectible vinyl listed.
