For your consideration, a set of 4 easy/lounge exotica jazz LPs from the '50s and '60s, by three of the biggest names. All are well above average, condition-wise, in the near mint range. And they've been cleaned by me, as well, for optimal audio playback.
 


1.  The Fabulous Sounds Of Les Baxter: Strings, Guitars, Voices!  (Pickwick/33 Records SPC-3011, 1965)  First stereo pressing. Opened shrinkwrap. Space Age Moods … and that is one heckuva damn-fine super-slinky fox fronting on the cover, aint it? Adorable. Definitely one of our favorite covergirls!  Cover/vinyl: NEAR MINT (play tested)


2.  Arthur Lyman: The Many Moods of Arthur Lyman  (HiFi Records SL-1007, 1962)  Classic Hawaiian island exotica, by the master. Heavy on the vibes and xylos, accompanied by acoustic guitar and drum. Dreamy. Mono version. In opened shrinkwrap. Mint-like condition throughout. Cover/vinyl: NEAR MINT (play tested)


3.  Martin Denny: Quiet Village  (Liberty LRP-3122, 1959)  Mono, first press. Primo Space Age exotica for the cocktail set, by another legend of the game. Cover: VG+ / Vinyl: NM (play tested)


4.  Martin Denny: The Enchanted Sea  (Liberty LRP-3141, 1959)  Mono, first press. Cover: VG+ / Vinyl:  VG++ (play tests just shy of NM, with faint b/g noise)



One low cost for these relaxo-jazz gems: Just $16
As for shipping, just $4 for my fellow Americans.
(International? You'll have to pay more. Sorry.)

U.S. SHIPPING

If you are very concerned about your order’s safety, I strongly urge you to REQUEST PRIORITY SHIPPING.
The price is a little bit higher, depending on the quantity of albums in the box ... but you'll get it fast and safe delivery is insured.

Otherwise I use Media Mail, the budget method. With Media Mail, I’ve had items lost, stolen, damaged and destroyed. On average, this occurs to 1 out of every 100 boxes.
The Post Office does not care about Media Mail. They lose money on it. So if something happens during the shipping of a Media Mail package, it is entirely out of my hands.

If you still want to roll the dice and opt for Media Mail, and you’re in the States, go to town. You can buy as many records as you want and I will only charge $4 for shipping.
You want 1 record or 20 records, it will only cost you $4. But again, I am not liable for damages incurred during budget-rate shipping. 



INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
 
Canada:
$10 for one record, plus $2 for each additional record

All other countries:
$16 for one record, plus $4 for each additional record


Shipment cost depends on weight, and record weights vary. A 2LP double album counts as TWO records.
Please wait for an invoice before paying, or you might have to make multiple payments.



GRADING

Usually, VG++ is as high as you’ll see me go.
Near Mint is rare, usually play-test verified, and MINT is reserved for sealed items.

My scale:  VG- / VG / VG+ / VG++ / NM / MINT




PAYMENT

I request payment within 5 days. At the end of the 5th day, an Unpaid Item Claim is filed.
(If there will be a delay in payment, just send me a message and tell me. I'm nice, and will not bite.)
