Description

The Jimmy Scott story is one of overcoming overwhelming obstacles.  This artist suffered from a malady called Kallman Syndrome.  The result was that he never reached puberty.  He stopped growing at just under five feet tall until age 37, when he almost instantly grew eight more inches.  But the major effect for his career was that his voice never changed.  He had a beautiful high tenor voice his entire career.  He performed with many of the jazz greats in the 50’s and early 60’s, but then his career hit a standstill until the 90’s when he was re-discovered.  He worked with Lou Reed on Reed’s Magic and Loss album and also appeared on the Twin Peaks finale.  He continued to work successfully until his passing in 2014.  This was his debut album and the beauty of his voice comes through on every track.  The album was released on Savoy Jazz in 1984, number SJL 1145.  This is a reissue of the album originally released on Savoy in 1955.  This is a filler copy.  The vinyl is in beautiful condition with its bright original luster and just a couple of very light surface scratches that barely impact play. It plays with almost no background noises.  The vinyl grades VG+.  The album cover has been autographed near the top left corner.  The autograph reads “To “Larry” Sincerely Jimmy Scott”. The cover shows light ring wear and very light corner and edge wear. All seams are clean, sharp, tight, and intact. The cover grades VG+.

Grading Information

I always clean and then listen to every record I list on eBay.  I do this to make sure I can give as accurate a description of each record as possible.  I will do both a visual check and an audio check.  I absolutely attempt to give as objective a grading as I can.  I don’t ever want you to be disappointed in the quality of the album you receive. 

I use four grades in my grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition.  My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve.  The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects.  It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static.  On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album.   Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading.  Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there.  That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen.  In this case the vinyl will be graded VG.  Occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy.

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping

The shipping cost will be based on the weight of your package.  For Media Mail, shipping is $4.00 in the continental U.S.  In addition, I will happily combine records from multiple auctions to reduce total shipping cost.  In fact, I welcome it!  Shipping will be $4.00 in the U.S regardless of the number of auctions won in any 5-day period. 

Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings.  The first album will be shipped for $21.  Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to four pounds able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping.  At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost. 

Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country.  Typically the cost per album will be no more than $27.  Combined shipping is welcome here as well, at a cost of $10 per additional album up to the maximum of four pounds.

All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening.  The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve.  I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments.  If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.

Thank you  for looking and please contact me with any questions.
