HELEN MERRILL EmArcy MG-36006 Orig. Big Drummer Label

$

405

Label & Catalog #: EmArcy MG-36006
Performer(s): HELEN MERRILL
Title(s): HELEN MERRILL
Notes: This is the original US pressing with the big drummer label and deep groove- please see pics!
Condition: Visually the vinyl is about VG+, with only a few light marks, but frustratingly the grooves seem to be a bit stressed, more so on side 1 than side 2. There's distortion on the louder passages, particularly the vocal and trumpet. To make sure you know exactly what you're getting, I've uploaded mp3 files of the entire LP. Please listen carefully to them to evaluate the condition for yourself:

Don't Explain
You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To
What's New
Falling In Love With Love
Yesterday's
Born To Be Blue
'S Wonderful

Maybe with a good cleaning job and/or a nicer deck, this record might sound better. The Jacket is mostly VG+, the only real problem with it is a 3" seam split at upper right.

Buyer pre-pays $5.00 shipping/handling (USPS) within USA. Shipping rates to other countries will be calculated after the auction ends. I will only ship via airmail overseas.

Insurance and/or delivery confirmation are optional at the buyer's request, and I will not be held responsible for items not covered by at least one of these protections. Your high bid on this item implies that you agree to trust (based on my feedback record) that I will in fact ship your unprotected item, and that if it does not show up, then the USPS alone is to blame for losing it. You will not get a refund from me. Also note that in the event that a refund is required for any reason, I will only issue said refund via Paypal. If you are not curently a member, this will require you to register with Paypal in order for you to claim your refund.

EMAIL CONTACT FROM WINNING BIDDER MUST BE MADE WITHIN 3 DAYS of the end of the auction. (If you are planning on being away from your computer during this time frame, please let me know in advance.) PAYMENT MUST BE RECEIVED WITHIN 10 DAYS of the end of the auction or you risk forfeiting the item and receiving negative feedback. Winning bidders who have excessive negative feedback may be subject to more stringent contact & payment deadlines at my discretion. Personal checks take 10 days to clear.

I usually make my weekly post office run on Thursday evenings, and your item will ship on the next closest run I make. Note that even for money orders and PayPal payments this may mean several days' delay before I actually ship the item.

Once you receive the item and you are satisfied with the transaction, please let me know by leaving positive feedback for me, and I will reciprocate. If, for some reason, you are not satisfied with the item, send me an email and I'm sure we can work out a solution to the problem without the need for negative feedback on either end!

YOUR BID ON THIS ITEM IMPLIES THAT YOU AGREE COMPLETELY WITH MY TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH MY TERMS, PLEASE DO NOT BID.

Oh, and thanks for looking!
