Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music!

FLIPPED OUT EXOTIC OBEAH-MAN'S VOODOO GROOVES!
EXUMA
II
USA - (red) Mercury - SR 61314
Super Psychedelic ...african-gypsy style!
SCARCE Collection Copy ...with grainy thick cover STILL IN FACTORY SHRINK WRAPPER ...
Exuma, aka the obeah-man, aka Tony McKay, aka Macfarlane Gregory Anthony Mackey, was raised in the district of Exuma in the Bahamas. As a young guy he moved to New York and had some success as Exuma. The music is off the edge; there´s a lot of voodoo religiosity mixed with acid revelations. It doesnt sound like he´s kidding when he tells us of the vision he had one night, where he met the devil and the angels and the obeah-man. His songs invoke influences from calypso, junkanoo, exotica, African , New Orleans swamp-voodoo and folk music ... his lyrics dealing heavily with Obeah. His backing band known only as the Junk Band has included names such as Sally O'Brien, Bogie, Lord Wellington, Villy, Mildred Vaney, Frankie Gearing, Diana Claudia Bunea, and his good friend Peppy Castro.
In New York's 1960s Greenwich Village folk scene McKay often found himself performing with such greats as Bob Dylan, Richie Havens, Jimi Hendrix, and even Barbra Streisand among others. He soon gained the attention of Blues Magoos manager Bob Wyld. Wyld brought MacKay to Mercury Records and convinced them to sign him. In 1970 McKay, now redubbed Exuma, released the albums Exuma and Exuma II. Pick of the litter: "Paul Simon Nontooth" a flipped-out voodoo ritual freakout ....2. Baal 3. Paul Simon Nontooth
