Nina Simone – I Put A Spell On You - Soul Jazz Vinyl LP - OG Mono

$

120

Nina Simone, “The High Priestess Of Soul”, is my personal favorite female vocalist.  The power and beauty of her voice is simply stunning.  This is a beautiful collection of soulful covers. She delivers absolutely stunning interpretations of standards from an eclectic group of composers. The highlight for me is the title track, her cover of the Screamin’ Jay Hawkins classic. The album was released on Philips in 1965, number PHM 200-172.  This is the original mono release of the album.  The vinyl is in absolutely beautiful condition with its bright original luster though and just a couple of very light surface scratches that barely impact play.  It plays with just very light sporadic background noise.  The vinyl grades VG+.   The album cover shows light ring wear and light corner and edge wear. All seams are sharp, tight, and intact. There is a small spot of water damage near the bottom left corner on the back. There is an Inspection stamp on the back. The original label inner sleeve is included and has all seams intact, though with one large crease. The cover grades VG.

Grading Information:

I always clean and 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 do both a visual check and an audio check. I always attempt to give as objective a grading as I can.

I use four grades in grading:  NM, VG+, VG, and G.  The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition. Sealed albums may not be returned. 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 noise. On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects 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.  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 owning as a filler copy. Albums graded G are not returnable.

Shipping Information – Combined Shipping:

Shipping for US bidders will be free via Media Mail.

Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates.  Combined shipping is welcomed and does result in significant per-album cost savings. The first album will typically cost approximately $24. 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.

Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country. Typically, the cost per album will be no more than $30.  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.

Thanks for looking and please contact me with any questions.
