Secondhand Record For Sale





  • Item: 10" 78 RPM record, "Cray, Cool, Solid" b/w "Love Is A Random Thing" on Arcade by Jackie Raye. I see no number on the label. The few people who know about this label have said that the records are known to include "tittyshakers" (!), etc. Apparently, Jack Howard owned the company and it was in Pennsylvania (Philadelphia). They put out R&B records, Country records, etc. This one, "Crazy, Cool, Solid" was described in Billboard in 1953 as a "wild rocker"! The reviewer felt that it was reminiscent of the Bill Haley song "Crazy Man, Crazy" but perhaps that has more to do with the title (?). In the early days of rock 'n roll, a lot of the songs are tough to pigeonhole since they came from mixed / various influences. This is a challenging one to research beyond what I've already told you, although it's possible that this artist also gigged as Jackie Raye & Rhythm Kings as well as Jackie Raye Trio. Also, it's possible that the songwriter on the b side, Carlos Cortez, was a piano man out of Detroit who gigged with rhythm players. Needs more research! Record will be carefully/responsibly packed in a box of my own construction. Please see my listings for other desirable titles!


  • Returns: If an item is deemed “not as described” due to such circumstances as shipping damage or seller’s incorrect description of the item’s condition, it falls under the realm of the eBay Money Back Guarantee. The reason why I don’t have a return policy in addition to the eBay Money Back Guarantee is that return policies cover all other reasons for return (such as the buyer simply changing their mind) but they also require the seller to pay for shipping, which is an expense that I cannot afford, especially in the case of an international transaction.


  • International Shipping: I sympathize with int’l buyers regarding shipping charges and their country’s Customs fees, but because the value must be declared in order to insure the item for that amount, I’m unable to satisfy the expectations of most buyers in certain countries. If you’re an exception, all you need to do is let me know and hopefully we can work together!


  • Condition: Records may not function as intended per surface noise, defective playback due to manufacturing defect or scratches, etc. and any extant sleeves/covers often have damage such as flawed edges and odors which may require repair or treatment, so I’m selling the item as being in “For parts or not working” condition. Most records are in scratched condition. See Goldmine Record Album Price Guide, 5th Edition, page 17: “It’s estimated that no more than 2 to 4 percent of all records remaining from the 1950’s and 1960s are truly Near Mint” (and the next grade down from Near Mint is VG+, where light scratches are present). It amazes me that the world of record collecting doesn’t have an official grading company such as in the comic book field (they have CGC), the coin collecting realm (they have PCGS), etc. Until an official 3rd party industry expert comes along, record grading remains subjective and opinions vary due to parties’ differences in audio equipment, etc.
