SAM COOKE - "with the BUMPS BLACKWELL orchestra" - Original KEEN A-2001 Mono Pressing from 1958.

Original US Mono Pressing on the KEEN label.

Please take a look at the photos below.

Please note that unless otherwise noted, all records are graded visually and not play graded.

This is an ORIGINAL US PRESSING released in 1958 on the KEEN label.  Superb deep groove vinyl LP from this subliminal artist.

Condition:  The vinyl is in VG+ to VG++ Condition.  A couple of very light needle marks and very light sraches, must mostly just some light sleeve scuffs.  The spine is in really nice shape The vinyl still has most of the original luster.

The cover is in VG+ Condition with some ring and shelf wear, but overall still looks quite presentable.  The upper seam had a split and some clear tape.  The tape was removed and the seam repaired.  You can not really tell that it has been repaired until you inspect it very closely.  The spine is intact and in really nice shape.  The bottom seam has a couple of very small repairs, hardly noticeable.  Overall it looks nicer than I'm making it sound.

The back of the jacket is in Nice Condition, with some staining close to the top that was left from the tape that had been previously applied to the top seam.  Again it still looks quite presentable. 

As with most of my auctions it is being listed without a reserve.

All records will be very well packaged and shipped in a proper record mailer.

Shipping:  I offer the following shipping options due to requirements of Paypal that a tracking number be supplied by the seller to Paypal as proof of shipment if a buyer puts in a claim for an item not received.

Canada:  All records will be shipped by "Xpresspost" at a cost of $10.00 US.

United States:  Auctions ending at less than $100.00 will be shipped by Small Packet (Air) at a cost of $12.00.  Auctions ending at $100.00 or higher will be shipped "Expedited-USA" which includes a tracking number at a cost of: $17.00 US.  Please be aware that "Expedited" is sent mostly by surface and therefore depending on your State this method could take up to three weeks for delivery.  If you wish to receive it quicker, the package can be shipped through "Xpresspost" which is sent by air and includes a tracking number at a cost of $29.00 US.

Overseas Shipping:  Auctions ending at less than $75.00 will be shipped by "Small Packet" (Air) at a cost of $19.00 US.  This is the quickest least expensive method but please note that there is no tracking number available for items shipped by this method.  Auctions ending at $75.00 or higher will only be shipped by "Xpresspost" which is quite expensive at approximately $65.00 US.  The cost does vary somewhat depending on the destination country therefore I will email the buyer with the final shipping cost at the end of the auction.

Insurance:  The first $100.00 is covered but anything above is $2.00 extra for every $100.00.  Insurance is highly recommended as I will not be responsible for items not insured for the appropriate amount.

Combined Shipping:  I will be glad to combine shipping in order to save on the shipping costs.  The combined shipping cost will be calculated on the total number of LPs and will be the exact amount that it costs me to ship the package.

Please Note:  I will not make exceptions to the above shipping methods.  I will not ship any item to ITALY or the RUSSIAN FEDERATION.  Please do not ask as I will not respond to your request.

Payment:  Payment is expected within three days of auction ending.

Please accept my apologies for the lengthy shipping description but the reason for this is that my concern is that the buyer receives the items they have purchased without any problems.

Now that we have that all out of the way, I thank you for looking at my listings and wish you the best of luck should you decide to bid.  Please take a look at my ratings.  I have sold a large quantity of items on eBay including a number of records and have 100% positive feedback.

I have been selling on eBay for a number of years and do my best to accurately describe the items I have listed, but different people view different things in different ways.  If for some reason after receiving your item you feel that my description was not accurate and you are not pleased, contact me and I'm confident that we can work it out.

Thanks,
Edward
