Mid-February USED LP Sale List: Sun Ra / Alice Coltrane / Jimi Hendrix / Archie Shepp..!

Last month, we lucked out by getting in a serious collection of rare vinyl treasures: original Sun Ra Saturn LPs, (about 25 of them and 20 went the first weekend!?!, Not too bad at around $200 each!?!?!) We still have a few left, so see below. We also got in a dozen Alice Coltrane LPs and another dozen Jimi Hendrix live rarities! Plus three dozen reggae records and numerous Far East & Middle-Eastern ethnic records. It has been a long process of cleaning, pricing, listening and compiling this list. We also get this boisterous record dealer who brings us a variety of rock, folk, reggae, blues & jazz. A large number of what we got in are not on this list but in our bins, especially those reggae records. Sooo, come on down and check out what we have and ask to see the buried treasures behind the counter! 

Listening at length to some of these records is a great thing since they do sound better than most CD’s. Here’s a list of some of the records we’ve been listening to: Sun Ra - ‘My Brother the Wind - Par2; (sounds better than any CD or Scorpio reissue), ‘Discipline 27-II’ (ditto, although the CvsD version does sound fine on CD), Fela Kuti, Quicksilver (1st album), Dizzy Gillespie Big Band, several Hendrix discs, World Experience Orchestra (super rare & it sold for $1,600), Gil Evans ‘Out of the Cool’,…

Here’s the deal for this week’s sale:

********* 
SHIPPING COSTS have recently gone up again. Jeeeez! In the US, we can ship mainly media mail or priority mail. Media mail does come with tracking.  

Approx shipping via media mail:

1 LP = $5.65
2 or 3 LP’s = $6
4 LP’s = $7 (depending on weight)
Media mail does have tracking and is slower than priority mail
We suggest insurance for rare records and/or packages valued at over $100

Outside of the US, it depends on weight and distance. 
1 or 2 LP's = $26 
3 or 4 LP’s = $40
We suggest that you order at least 2 or 3 LP’s since the price goes down per LP as the weight goes up. We usually ship first class international (under 4lbs) or priority international. All international orders must have customs forms attached which will list the value of what is inside. If you want us to list your order at a lower value or ship it as a “gift” (without an invoice inside) please let us know. Customs agents in many countries will add a tax to items being shipped from another country depending on their listed value. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about added customs taxes.ÂÂ
