[Note: Due to E-bay’s recent changes that have converted all 30-day listings into “Good Until Canceled” listings, I reserve the right to end any auction within 24 hours of its listed closing time with no advanced notice given to watchers, to avoid any automatic relisting fees on unsold items.]

ABDEL KARIM EL KABLI “Mashaher” 45 (Munsphone/Sudanese ORIGINAL, pressed in Lebanon!!)

My absolute favorite Sudanese record right here! El Kabli’s voice is an absolute treasure, and the fantastically groovy upbeat tune, augmented with killer swirling organ, is impossible to get out of your head once it’s in there! One of those records that is really worth its weight in gold, I think!

Check out the entire thing (both sides) below:

Condition: Can I call it VG+ when there are three pops you can hear on side A? I really want to, because it is so great, but because of those three pops I will say VG+ to VG. Still, considering how old the record is, and the fact that most records from Sudan have been beaten to heck, I don’t think I’m exaggerating to say that this is the best copy you’ll find! There is a little sticker of sorts on one side of the label, as you can see in the photo (the other side is fine, and all in Arabic, so I didn’t scan it).

Terms (Please read carefully): Payment is due within THREE (3) DAYS via Paypal – no exceptions. Buyer pays shipping. **NOTE TO NON-USA BIDDERS: I will only ship outside of the USA using E-bay’s Global Shipping Program, as this protects buyer and seller from loss, damage, etc. This program entails extra fees for international tracking, customs, etc., which results in a high shipping cost. These fees are not set by me (as the seller, I don’t even get to see them), I don’t make any money off of them, and they are NOT NEGOTIABLE. Also, E-bay’s Global Shipping Program does not allow auction wins to be combined into one shipment. This means that if you win more than one auction for me, I will not be able to give you a combined shipping price, but will have to ship each item separately in its own box. Please keep these things in mind when bidding. Thank you.**

**ADDITIONAL SPECIAL NOTE FOR NON-USA BIDDERS: It is YOUR responsibility to understand the impact of the Global Shipping Program on the cost of shipments to your country BEFORE YOU BID on my auctions. I DO NOT WORK FOR E-BAY and cannot answer your questions about shipping costs. As clearly stated above, I do not have any control over how much you are charged, nor even any way to know how much you are charged (or will be charged). Please do not send me questions about this.**

***RELATED TO THIS, I will not answer any requests received during or after an auction about shipping to non-USA locations for a cheaper amount using some other option that isn’t the Global Shipping Program. I get an average of 3 or 4 of these kinds of questions per week, and the answer will always be no. Please don’t waste my time or your time by asking for me to violate my own shipping policy.***

USA bidders (or non-USA bidders with USA addresses registered with E-bay and Paypal!): I will gladly combine your wins into the fewest shipments possible. Please wait until this week’s auctions are finished and I will send you an invoice with the correct combined shipping total for your location. Please do not pay the automatically generated invoice from E-bay that will overcharge you for shipping.

Your item(s) will be shipped within ten (10) days of receiving cleared payment.
