This is the debut album by rock pioneer Bo Diddley an important volume in any early rock collection on Chess Records (1421). The record includes I'm A Man (played by almost every garage band in the '60s) and Hush Your Mouth. The record is VG because of two long scratches on Before You Accuse Me that causes some moderate tics in the first 30 seconds or so and one quick skip otherwise this plays with a little light crackle in a few places and a few intermittent tics - really well over all and the cover is a strong VG with a VG+ front - one small stain at the top, clean seams and spine, and some fairly light staining on the back bottom about 1 1/2" up. All grading is guaranteed to visual Goldmine standards (see my feedback) unless otherwise specifically described. Price includes delivery confirmation and/or insurance(78s) domestic. Priority mail and professional packaging is $8.00, additional 45s, up to four, are free domestically. I ship once a week, usually on Tuesdays, every item paid for by end of the day Sunday.  Important - media mail may take up to two weeks for delivery!!! Insurance is included on purchases of $50.00 or more. Sorry about the increase in international mail but the post office now charges me an average of $21.50 for one single LP - that does not consider the cost of the mailer, bubble wrap, and labels. Insurance and/or tracking for international sales is available at a much greater shipping cost (required for Portugal). The only way I can absolutely guarantee delivery internationally is with a tracking number or insurance. Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility. Please check with your country’s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. International shipping via first class can take a month or more from the shipping date - we have no control over shipping time. Please do not ask us to lie about record values on customs forms. Let's rock and roll this week with some plums picked from my private vault. Yum plums!!! Remember a bid today means milk bones tonight for my pack of canines. And I say that with a straight face as since my vertebrae C3-C5 are fused as one making any Linda Blair neck dexterity highly unlikely.
