"GETTIN' IT ON AGAIN" LP

ORIGINAL 1971 LP ON THE US BEE JAY LABEL, STEREO

COVER IN VG++ SHAPE

VINYL PLAYS VG+ WITH LIGHT SURFACE CRACKLE

1971 label sampler LP from Florida's BEE JAY label (no jokes, please!) - these albums were meant to showcase the label's bands for possible entertainment gigs around the Florida area, and were pressed in VERY limited quantities.  If you search for them on this site right now, there are NONE.  As label samplers, you'll need to know that most (but not ALL) the "songs" on these albums are shortened cover versions, usually 1 to 2 minutes, of popular songs of the time, but a few are band originals and those, usually, are full length, and undoubtedly ALL of these songs are unavailable anywhere else.  They're also priceless examples of local "real" music, sometimes very funny, sometimes very good.  This one, from 1971, features unknown bands like Cinderblock, Patent Pending, Micropolis and Gabriel's Brass.  Highlights include a rowsing early 70's boogie slammer called "Pack Fair and Square" by Thunder Blu firmly in the Savoy Brown/Allman Brothers vein, and VERY good!  There's also a very STRANGE jazzy take on Donovan's "Season of the Witch" from Brewed, and possibly the highlight of the entire SERIES - a MASSIVE fuzzed-out Brontosaurus stomp take on Black Sabbath's mighty "Paranoid' from East Coast Supply which presages the entire Grunge movement by two friggin' DECADES and amazingly, according to the publicity photo, the band had two GORGEOUS women in it!  A generous TWENTY SEVEN songs are here, so you'll pick your own favorites, both good and...well, interesting cover versions are here.  Plus you get a nice promotional foldout insert.  Vintage Seventies fun abounds here, and these original Bee Jay albums are VERY hard to find.  Grab 'em while ya can and, since I've got three more up for bid, in the words of 70's bubble gum card commercials, collect 'em all!

The less exciting stuff

Media mail shipping with delivery confirmation starts at $4.00 in the US, with each additional record only $1 additional shipping.  I accept payments through Paypal. 

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. 

 For more security and international tracking, you may request GLOBAL PRIORITY MAIL - but bear in mind the cost of this service is upwards of $30.  For expensive items, however, it may be well worth it.  Unfortunately, there isn’t a cost-effective way of tracking parcels to foreign countries yet, and shipping times vary depending on your country’s postal system.   Italy in particular seems to be really bad at delivering packages quickly, or delivering packages at all, now that you mention it.  I will always email you when your package ships, but once it’s on its way, please don’t ask me when it will arrive because I don’t know.  If the world’s postal systems can ever agree on a universal tracking system that’s affordable, I’ll be the first to use it.

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.
