Description
Paragons – ‘The Same Song’ / Tommy McCook & The Supersonics – ‘Soul Serenade’ – Treasure Isle 7013 (UK)
No introduction necessary: two top Treasure Isle tunes back-to-back! B-side is a sublime version of King Curtis’s ‘Soul Serenade’, worth the price of admission alone. And the condition is gorgeous; you’ll most likely never see a finer copy of this rare record. As is well known, many times these early UK singles were dubbed directly from their Jamaican counterparts; this disc is particularly interesting historically in that you can so clearly hear the needle drop on the flipside (‘Soul Serenade’), check it out! (It’s not me, it’s the record!)Condition: Excellent (please listen to the clips). Lovely clean labels, centre intact (please see scans).
Please reply within three days after auction close. Payment via Paypal expected within five days. Will not be held responsible for uninsured parcels.
Shipping 1-2 singles: US $8.00 within Europe, US $10.00 to the rest of the world. Shipping 3-5 singles (or one album, or one 12-inch record): $11.50 within Europe, $13.00 to the rest of the world. Shipping 2-3 albums (or 2-3 12-inch records): $24.00 within Europe, $28.50 to the rest of the world. Registered and insured shipping (with a tracking number) is an additional US $11.00 per parcel to cover a total value not exceeding $80.00, US $16.00 for a total value of up to $1,550.00 (which is the maximum). Please get in touch for further combined shipping rates. Yes, shipping from Sweden is very expensive, there’s unfortunately nothing I can do about that, but it’s usually swift and safe.
American bidders please note that shipping to the US is not US $4.00; this is eBay’s American default setting and not applicable as I am based in Sweden. Please use the postage rates above, or wait for my invoice. Thanks!
Please note that like many other sellers of reggae on eBay, I’ve been the victim of so called ‘fake bidders’, bad minded people with no intention of purchasing the item they bid on and whose only game seems to be to ruin the auction for buyers and sellers alike. If your feedback less than five, please get in touch with me before bidding, or unfortunately I will have to cancel your bid.
In the event that the record is won by a ‘fake bidder’, to save time, I will sell it to the second highest bidder before attempting to relist it. Obviously, the second highest bid will have been raised, as it were, artificially by the ‘fake bidder’. To the extent that it’s possible (this isn’t always the case), when making a Second Chance offer, I will try to lower the selling price to one increment above the third highest bid by way of offering a discount or free shipping (or both). Please bear in mind that Second Chance offers are automated (by eBay) and the amount can not be changed by me. Hopefully this auction will be free from any such problems!
Happy to answer any questions! Please see my other auctions with many rare items this week!
Thanks for looking and good luck!
