S. ROHA & SALIM I "The Wisma Vol. 9"
Original 1969 (?) 45 on the Malaysian TNA label
Pic Sleeve in EXCELLENT shape
Vinyl: Plays VG++
I don't know if anyone out there has the same warped sense of musical humor as I do, but here's one I'm just gonna throw out there. I'd just as soon keep this strange little gem if no one bites, but if you take a shine to the bizarre like I do, you'll no doubt immediately be attracted to that INSANE abdomen-shaped beehive being sported by Miss S. Roha there, not to mention the fact that Mr. Salim I looks like he hasn't slept for WEEKS at the time this photo was snapped. Likewise, I can't offer you any CLUE what a Wisma is, or why this particular EP is Wisma Volume 9. But there are four tracks on here, all in Malaysian, and "Bersiar Di-Taman Hiboran" is one for your next Far East Abdomen Beehive Mix Tape, a creepy slice of Asian pop with sinewy, twisty sitar-like guitar, bong-hit no-sleep-til-Kuala-Lumpur vocals, and a downright ghostly funhouse skating rink organ whirling away in the background. Not to mention that completely unexpected blast of skull-shattering FUZZ guitar in the break. Track 4, titled "Mendong Kembali Cherah" by the way, is also worth noting, this time in more of a garage blues vibe. All this from a sleepy-eyed dude and a pretty girl whose hair takes up two seats on a plane? Time to start searching for Volumes 1 through 8...
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. Air mail shipping to Canada starts at $6 US, each additional record $2 shipping. Air mail shipping everywhere else in the world starts at $8 US, with each additional record only $3 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.
