Description
This is a really hard-to-find-buy-on-sight 10" Mono recording 'More Akompi's Guitar Hits' by Akompi's Guitar Band. (1963) One of 35 records issued on the Decca West Africa label. WAL 1028. Very few details can be found about the group who played this early highlife, cha cha and blues.
Rarely found. Not even on Discogs. Another Akompi record on sale there for over £50.
Scratchmarks: on side 1= 4, on side 2 = 5.
Please see my other listings for cassettes.
PLEASE ENSURE YOU READ ALL THE FOLLOWING BEFORE BIDDING
I am selling a proportion of my African vinyl LPS. There is music from Zaire, Kenya, Tanzania, S.Africa, Zimbabwe and west Africa plus a few from N. Africa. The periods covered are from the 1950's to 1990. Some were available or produced in UK but many of these are so uncommon or rare that it was a case of 'buy on sight'..
Please see my other listings for cassettes and check back for more LPs as it will take a bit of time to list them all. A few CDs will follow at the end.
CONDITION: SEE PHOTOS. Some of the records I bought new but many were came from dealers or markets. As far as condition is concerned all have been played, some more than others and yes there will be dings and scratches. I will try and list the main faults. I started to photograph the records to show scratches but it doesn't work. I CAN ONLY VISUALLY GRADE THE RECORDS. I will not be selling anything that I know to be unplayable but if you need further details about anything then please let me know before bidding.
POSTAGE: I will send worldwide. Anything with a value of more than £20 GB will be insured or tracked. Please ask for a cost. I will combine postage and send an invoice. PUT ANY MULTIPLE PURCHASES IN 'YOUR BASKET' FIRST RATHER THAN PAYING SEPARATELY. Particularly so if the items go through Ebay Global Shipping.
Postage in UK is £3.50 for 1 pack with 1 LP unless the value is over £20 then it will be 'Signed For' at £4.75.(insured for upto £50). 'Guaranteed by 1pm tracked' (insured upto £500) is £8.50. 2 LPs in one box will cost £4.75 'Signed For', 'Guaranteed by 1pm tracked' (insured upto £50) is £9.95.
International postage will be different.- 1LP to Germany tracked and signed is £11.75,
2 lps is £12.75. USA respectively £14.50 and £16.95.
Also note that on Customs Forms I will only put the sum you bought the item(s) for. The buyer is responsible for any customs duty.
PACKAGING: The items will be sent in professional vinyl LP packaging. I should be able to get 2 LPs in 1 pack.
