MISCELLANEOUS: Very clean original pressing of one of the holy grails of beat exotica jazz.
Eden Ahbez: In 1959, he began recording instrumental music, which combined his signature somber tones with exotic arrangements and (according to the record sleeve) "primitive rhythms". He often performed bongo, flute, and poetry gigs at beat coffeehouses in the Los Angeles area. In 1960, he recorded his only solo LP, Eden’s Island, for Del-Fi Records. This mixed beatnik poetry with exotica arrangements. Ahbez promoted the album through a coast-to-coast walking tour making personal appearances, but it sold poorly.
GRADING:
(NM) NEAR MINT: almost like new, only the slightest wear
(VG+) VERY GOOD PLUS: very little wear, still in excellent & collectible shape. SHOULD PLAY AND LOOK VERY NICE WITH MINIMAL SURFACE NOISE. My VG+ is NM to many.
(VG) VERY GOOD.....still acceptable but showing quite a bit of wear.....some surface noise
(G) GOOD - PLAYS ROUGH, HAS MULTIPLE SCRATCHES
+ or - used to represent a slightly higher or slightly lower grade. My grading is typically conservative in favor of the purchaser, and I think my feedback history shows that buyers have been pleased. I've gotten many comments of items being better than expected. Just sayin'.
No Reserve. I will accept Paypal from domestic bidders. I will accept Paypal from international bidders.
I combine shipping costs so please wait for me to generate a proper invoice if you win multiple auctions.
International Customers – I will send the total for international shipping since it varies by country after the auction, prices recently were raised quite a bit for International shipping. (typically it will range from $19 to $21 for 1 LP). Please wait for the invoice before sending payment. The US Post Office no longer offers Economy Surface shipping and shipping rates have increased overall.
Also, I typically only get an opportunity to make post office drops on Saturdays.
