I’m not sure where Miss Sza’vee is from – anyone who puts an apostrophe in the middle of their last name for no apparent reason probably ain’t from Des Moines. She sounds Latino, as in sexy Latino, when she states her name seductively for the judge during the intro. She’s on trial for something – my guess would be disorderly sexiness – because the song opens with an unruly courtroom scene, and the judge banging his gavel for order in the court. That’s when Sexy Cidney gets up and purrs her name to the bailiff, and then sings her defense, a rather simple one: “I’m not guilty, I’m not insane.” Which rules out two potential pleas immediately in one short verse. What makes her defense extra special is that, every time she speaks, all the attorneys in the courtroom repeat her lines back to her. Gradually, as the case thickens, and every man in the room succumbs to Cidney’s legal charms, the tempo of the song picks up to an almost breakneck speed. Making it the swinging lounge femme pop equivalent of “Psychotic Reaction.” Kinda. Whatever you wanna call it, “Marianna” is a tour de force of sexy Swinging Sixties pop. From a girl of questionable heritage who I for one wouldn’t mind sentencing to life without parole. In my bedroom.
HEAR IT!
UPDATE: SORRY, I NO LONGER SHIP TO ITALY DUE TO A CORRUPT POSTAL SYSTEM (THERE, NOT HERE).
(THE LESS EXCITING STUFF...)
First class shipping is $4.00 in the US, with each additional record only $1 additional shipping. Delivery confirmation included in the shipping costs. US International postal rates just shot up nearly double this past week, so please take note of the new rates. I don't make a profit on shipping costs - these are what the post office charges me. Air mail shipping to Canada starts at $10 US, each additional record $3 shipping. Air mail shipping everywhere else in the world starts at $13 US, with each additional record only $4 shipping.
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.
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.
