SHIPPING TIME AND RETURN POLICY:
SHIPPING: We ship within 2 business days of payment most of the time (orders place over the weekend won't be processed until the following Monday. We ship via USPS: First Class for CDs, Media Mail for vinyl, and First Class Mail International for overseas orders (orders over 4lb require Priority Mail International). Actual shipping time varies by destination.
RETURNS: We generally do not accept returns except if something is not as described, and we take care to make sure everything fits our description. Sometimes CDs or vinyl will have a "cut-out" slice or "promo punch" either in the corner or through the UPC code - we will include this in the description if applicable. If there is a problem with an item, contact us and we will figure out the best action to take. We do NOT accept returns if you decide you simply don't like the item, or have buyer's remorse - buy wisely, and ask questions if necessary. Damage incurred during shipping should be brought up with the carrier but is extremely rare as we box everything adequately, including using extra cardboard for protection.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMBINING SHIPPING ON MULTIPLE ITEMS WE SELL:
Use "Add To Cart". Before paying, there is a button marked "Ask Seller For A Total" - click this. Wait one business day for us to change the invoice or else it will charge you full shipping for each item (we will not refund extra shipping once paid). This may not work from a phone, only a computer. We have to change shipping by hand - typically we charge what is close to the actual cost with maybe a $1 USD handling fee per item to cover the cost of packing materials.
Item Summary:
The talent of the Mad Lads is undeniable, the Stax organization signed these Memphis natives while the members were still in high school. Their doo-wop inspired harmonies meshed brilliantly with Stax's sensibilities, and netted the group a number of R&B hits, including classics such as "Don't Have To Shop Around" and "I Want Someone." Despite their success on the R&B charts, the group would never connect with a pop audience, and remained largely a cult act until their disbanding in 1969.
In Action is a definitive collection of The Mad Lads' creative output, featuring all their major singles, including their signature songs "Don't Have To Shop Around" and "I Want Someone", and their distinct takes on contemporary hits like "Land Of 1000 Dances" and "Sugar Sugar", among others. Bolstered by lead John Gary Williams' pleading croon, In Action may have been one of the only Southern doo-wop records to have existed, and proved a minor success for the group, reaching #93 on the Billboard 200 sales charts.
