Some background :    "Singin' the Blues is a compilation album by American bluesman B. B. King;   released in 1957. All of the songs had been issued between 1951 and 1956 on singles by RPM Records and most had reached the  Top 10 on Billboards' Race  / R&B  singles charts. The Bihari brothers released it as  B. B King's first album on their Crown Records budget label.

In an overview for All Music, critic Bill Dahl rated this album four and a half out of five stars and called it 

'Absolutely seminal material; his classic hits.'"    source - Wikipedia

Will ship next business day following your prompt payment clearance. We now ship our records via USPS Priority Mail in a cruciform record box designed for this purpose. We have had numerous instances of late where the USPS has lost, misplaced  and delivered damaged Media Mail, so we no longer make that option availble. 
International bidders, this will ship to ebay's world shipping center in the USA and you will be responsible for additional shipping costs plus any customs and duties of your nation from there to your address. Thank you.
Note: Due to travel restrictions, we are shipping two days a week. With most of our listings closing on Saturday, this means that - with prompt payment clearance - your items will ship on Monday; which has been our longtime schedule. We will also ship on Thursdays, as needed.
