ABOUT THE ARTIST:
biography
[-] by Scott Yanow Blessed with a beautiful voice from an early age, Sue Raney has performed music ranging from swinging jazz and ballads to cabaret, middle-of-the-road pop and jingles. Her mother was a singer and a great great aunt had been in German opera. Raney started singing when she was four and a year later she first performed in public, at a party in Wichita, Kansas. Because a voice teacher could not be found for her daughter (because of her extreme youth), Raney's mother took voice lessons herself and then passed down what she learned to Sue. A professional before she was a teenager, Raney worked steadily in New Mexico when her family relocated and took several trips out to Los Angeles during a couple of summer vacations. She joined the Jack Carson radio show in 1954 in L.A. when she was barely 14. Raney then appeared on Ray Anthony's television program and became his band's main vocalist. At 18 she started working as a single. She had already recorded for Phillips and then signed with Capitol, recording several middle-of-the-road jazz-influenced pop dates for the company. In the 1960's Raney often appeared on television variety shows, she led her own group and became very active in the studios where her impressive voice helped sell products. By the early 1980's, she was also working as a voice teacher. In the 1990's Sue Raney has sung with the L.A. Voices and Supersax, the Bill Watrous big band and as a single in addition to staying active as a jazz educator and in the studios. Her main jazz recordings were a trio of albums for Discovery in the 1980's; a VSOP/Studio West CD features the singer on various live performances from the 1960's.We ship around the world.
United States customers
We use the eBay calculated shipping system. Please click on the tab for details. We ship within 5 business days. For shipments within the U.S., delivery confirmations with tracking information is included. We use professional record mailers and one or more fillers. Shipping discounts are available on multiple purchases shipped in the same mailer - this applies to both U.S. and International shipments. When calculating postage, double albums count as two; box sets will probably cost more to ship than double albums.
International customers
URGENT NOTICE TO INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS - NEW SHIPPING RATES
As of January 27, 2013, the US Post Office has substantially increased postage costs for international packages. Please do not pay when receiving the eBay invoice. My invoice will be less because I print postage at home - but the increase is still substantial. Actual postage to ship 1 45 is $11.48 and, since I use the calculated method - which add the cost of my supplies - the total shipping cost for one 45 will be $12.98. The good news is that the cost will not increase when I ship 2 or 3 45's in the same package and additional 45's will only increase the shipping cost a relatively small amount. So if you are an overseas buyer, you will save a lot if you buy more than one 45 at a time.
The increased costs also apply to LP's but the percentage increase is much less. Also, shipping costs for U.S. buyers have only increased slightly.
Again, please wait for my invoice or request an invoice from me when you are finished with your bids or purchases. It will be less than the invoice that eBay automatically sends you.
I appreciate your understanding. Please do not leave me a low buyer satisfaction rating for shipping costs as that would hurt my standing on eBay. I actually lose money on shipping because both eBay and paypal take out fees for the amount you pay for postage. Thank you, James

A NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING..
Ebay has recently enacted new terms which are designed to encourage sellers to offer free domestic shipping on their listings. I'm sure they have their reasons for doing this. Since nothing is truly "free", especially the cost of shipping, ebay is recommending it's sellers roll the shipping cost into the price of the product. I've never been a huge fan of this tactic so I won't be doing it. I also have a solid amount of overseas customers who would not be receiving this "free" shipping and therefor would be getting the short end of it if I raised my prices to compensate for the possibility that a domestic client might buy the item. Why do I mention this? As more sellers conform to ebay's urgings those of us that do not will start to look like we are overcharging for shipping. Even a modest shipping charge, when compared to "free", will seem exorbitant. This will likely start to affect our Detailed Seller Ratings for shipping and handling charges. Low DSR scores can have a serious impact on sellers. Ebay offers discounts for the best DSR ratings and a few low scores can litterally cost a considerable sum of money in discounts lost. So if you are buying from me please consider, I do not make money on my shipping costs, there is no handling fee. I try and keep the shipping fees as close to the cost of actual postage plus the cost of packing materials - LP mailers cost nearly $1 apiece - and often end up losing a few cents in the transaction. My reputation, feedback and DSR scores are very important to me and my business.
Thank you, JamesDiscount is available on multiple purchases shipped in the same carton. Please tell us what country you live in and the number of LP's you want. Final cost is based on the weight of the package.
