Description
This is a beautiful rare original sealed pressing of the album on Bell Records by Solomon Burke, Proud Mary, recorded in 1969 at Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals AL, and featuring members of the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, such as guitarist Eddie Hinton and bassist David Hood. John Fogerty thought so much of the artist's version of his composition, that he wrote the liner notes on the cover. Proud Mary reached #16 on the R&B Charts and #45 on pop chart.
The LP is in sealed unplayed condition. The cover is in excellent condition due to slight corner wear on bottom two corners. The top corners are very sharp. The bottom spine corner has slight tip wear due to shrink opening at tip. The lower mouth corner also has slight damage due to shrink having slight opened. The spine and seams are very strong, except for slight damage on bottom seam near mouth. The front and back covers are very clean. There is over mouth of cover the remnants of sticker that was affixed by store at which bought to prevent shoppers from opening sealed LP records. In grading I use Excellent instead of VG++ for those items deemed just a notch below near mint. Please understand that opened play graded copies may have been graded several weeks before listing so the LP should be cleaned again before play. LPs are cleaned manually as I no longer have machine.
The LP will be shipped within 24 hours of payment, which is expected within 3 days of auction end, in specially made LP mailer with the LP separated from the cover (for unsealed items) and well packaged to protect the item from damage during shipment. Returns are accepted as long as LP is returned in the condition received. Return of sealed items will only be permitted if returned unopened.
Shipping cost is $4 per LP. To reduce shipping cost, I will combine shipping on multiple items bid and won during the same auction cycle. Please do not pay until I have had the opportunity to manually adjust the shipping cost. I cannot hold items for multiple auction cycles as it will affect my EBAY standing in so far as it concerns shipment time. I only accept bids from US based buyers and will only ship to the address recorded for the buyer on PAYPAL, which is the only method I can accept for payment.
Please keep in mind that I am a person looking to sell their collection and not a store or commercial seller. I play grade open items sold and do the best I can in the process to give an honest assessment of the item As is shown by my feedback I think I do a good job of satisfying most buyers. I leave feedback for all buyers and if you are satisfied with the transaction I would greatly appreciate positive feedback from the buyer as well. It does not take very long and is very important to me as a seller. If for any reason you cannot leave positive feedback or are not satisfied, please have the courtesy of contacting me before leaving negative or neutral feedback. In almost all cases the issue can be worked out to the buyers satisfaction even if it means returning the item. If the item is not as described I will bear all shipping costs including return shipping. If a buyer behaves in a rude or unreasonable manner, and/ or fails to contact me to address issues they have with an item before negative or neutral feedback is left, I will block that buyer from further auction participation. I also reserve the right block a buyer that leaves negative or neutral feedback when I have done everything possible to place the buyer in the position they would have been had the transaction not taken place.
I am auctioning almost 5000 records of my own collection, including rock. soul, blues and jazz, that are very clean and, included are some very rare items that rarely are available for purchase
