Gilbert Scott-Heron (April 1, 1949 – May 27, 2011) was an American soul and jazz poet, musician, and author, known primarily for his work as a spoken-word performer in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His collaborative efforts with musician Brian Jackson featured a musical fusion of jazz, blues, and soul, as well as lyrical content concerning social and political issues of the time, delivered in both rapping and melismatic vocal styles by Scott-Heron. His own term for himself was "bluesologist", which he defined as "a scientist who is concerned with the origin of the blues". His music, most notably on the albums Pieces of a Man and Winter in America in the early 1970’s, influenced and foreshadowed later African-American music genres such as hip hop and neo soul. Scott-Heron is considered by many to be the first rapper/MC ever. His recording work received much critical acclaim, especially one of his best-known compositions, "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised". All Music's John Bush called him "one of the most important progenitors of rap music," stating that "his aggressive, no-nonsense street poetry inspired a legion of intelligent rappers while his engaging songwriting skills placed him square in the R&B charts later in his career. Brian Robert Jackson (born October 11, 1952) is an American keyboardist, flautist, singer, composer, and producer known for his collaborations with Gil Scott-Heron in the 1970’s. The sound of Jackson's Rhodes electric piano and flute accompaniments featured prominently in many of their compositions, most notably on "The Bottle" and "Your Daddy Loves You" from their first official collaboration Winter in America. - Wikipedia

*** POLICIES ***

Disclaimer:  I attempt to describe items as honestly, and in as much detail, as I can. Unless stated otherwise, assume merchandise is used. All items are sold “as is”, new or used.

Shipping and Handling:  The U. S. Postal Service is used unless stated otherwise. Combined shipping is used whenever possible. Sometimes, items are prepackaged and are not easily combined. Buyer assumes responsibility for uninsured items. There is a modest $1-$2 handling fee charged for the first item, which only helps to cover all the various expenses involved in running an eBay store (purchasing stock, shipping materials, advertising, etc). An additional $1 handling fee will be added for each additional item. International orders will be shipped Priority Mail International or First Class Mail International. NOTE: The above S&H policies do not apply to Music, Books, DVD’s, Movies or Video Games, as those shipping fees are now being regulated by eBay.

Insurance:   If you would like to insure your purchase, just let me know before you pay. Uninsured items are the buyer's responsibility.

Invoicing:  Accepted payments are Paypal or credit cards linked to Paypal. Multiple purchases will be invoiced together for purchases within a 5 day period. If you are interested in items beyond 5 days, please ask before bidding.  If you check out before receiving an invoice (multiple purchasers only) the S&H may not reflect a discount.

Refunds: All sales are final unless you receive the wrong merchandise, or misrepresented merchandise. In that case, I will bear all costs involved. If a refund should be granted for any other reason, it will not include shipping and handling fees.  Please ask before bidding or buying. If necessary, additional pictures may be e-mailed to answer questions.

Feedback:  Feedback is the lifeblood of eBay. It is how we judge, reward and punish each other in a public forum. As both a buyer and seller, I have often been disappointed with a deal through no fault of either party. On my end, positive feedback will always be left for a courteous, prompt paying buyer (even if the buyer has been difficult to deal with). I expect the same if I am a courteous, prompt shipping seller (even if the merchandise isn’t exactly what you may have expected). I’m very proud of my 100% positive selling record and work hard to maintain it. My thanks to those folks who left positive messages, even when things didn’t work out the way we would have preferred.
