DAKOTA STATON - WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT LOVE / MY HEART'S DELIGHT [CAPITOL PROMO 3010]
Label: Capitol White Label Promo 3010 Titles: "What Do You Know About Love" & "My Heart's Delight" Year: 1954
This debut single from jazz starlet Dakota Staton helped bring her from the nightclub and jazz lounges to mainstream America. As a result of the tender, beautiful vocals and the flowing jazz instrumentation, the single was pivotal in helping Staton earn the 1955 award for "Most Promising Newcomer" from Down Beat Magazine. Staton released several jazz themed singles and albums through the 50's and early 60's. Later in her career, while maintaining a jazz edge, her music would also incorporate more gospel and blues tones.
There is no writing on the label, there are no stickers on the label. There is some heavy wear in areas where the label is stained. This wear is heavier on the A side with some areas worn past the surface of the printing. The vinyl has minimal signs of playwear. Record has been play tested with no skips, warps or cracks. The Capitol sleeve is included and has no seam splits, writing or stickers. It is an excellent sleeve - very crisp still. You can listen to the record here:

*Please note - my turntable is a simple ION Profile LP simply for converting media. It is by no means a high end turntable and the sound quality will be MUCH better on a higher end turn table.
All records come with basic sleeves unless a factory or picture sleeve is indicated in the description. I do not use a grading system as I feel that everyone interprets it differently. For example, I see many records listed as being Near Mint, yet the label is torn or has writing on it. To me that is not near mint. I prefer to describe the record as best I can, post photos, and allow viewers to listen to the actual record as to determine for themselves how the record should be graded.
I ship using Media Mail at $3.00 and deliver the day of or after the payment is received. Please remember that shipping costs also include the cost of materials to ship the order. International shipping is available. The cost to ship this Internationally is $14.00. I will also combine shipping. I try to keep shipping costs as low as possible, however recent increases by USPS have affected what I charge to ship - and believe me, I am NOT happy about it.
I am happy to ship internationally, however I will not change the value of the record. There are many reasons for this. First, I enjoy selling records and do not want to jeopardize that. Second, I include a receipt with the order and if customs were to examine the package, they would see the difference. Third, if something were to happen to the item in shipping, I would refund the customers money, but then not be able to claim what was lost. Thanks you for understanding.
