NINA SIMONE LP - Bethlehem # BCP-6028 - LITTLE GIRL BLUE -- Mono, Poor Condition

Description: Bethlehem Records 12-inch 33 RPM LP # BCP-6028 is "Little Girl Blue" by Nina Simone, which has the alternative front cover title "Jazz as Played in an Exclusive Side Street Club." It is mono and undated, but, based on a comment about Nina's age, the sleeve notes were apparently written in 1958. It is in very heavily used and abused condition, dull from wear and absolutely riddled with surface scuffs and scratches. Although there was fairly constant background noise, both sides played through without sticking or repeating on my Audio-Technica turntable, but I lost track of how many forward skips there were - more on Side One than on Side Two, if I recall correctly. It was so bad, in fact, that I'm officially pronouncing both sides as "unplayable", so please don't try to return it as an "item not as described." Think of it more as a wall decoration. The cover is in equally poor condition, with the side seam intact, but the top and bottom seams completely split all the way. Also, some surface scuffs and stains, and some paper loss and edge wear, and an old price sticker on the front. It comes with a plain white inner sleeve. International Buyers – Please Note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. 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 or buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges. We won't under-value merchandise or mark the item as a gift on customs forms. Doing that is against U.S. and international laws. COMBINED SHIPPING: See our seller list for other interesting and unusual items, in fact bid on several and you might save on shipping and handling. If you buy multiple items, and if it's feasible and cost-effective for us to ship the items together, we will gladly consider requests to combine shipping at a reduced cost. Just e-mail us, and we can provide combined shipping cost estimates on a case-by-case basis. Depending on weight and other considerations, we typically offer full shipping rate for the first item, then 50 cents or $1.00 per item. And if you are purchasing multiple items, please make the payment as a single payment, rather than trying to pay for each item separately. Oh, and this may sound obvious, but we can't reduce the shipping charges for items on which we offer free shipping. SHIPPING COSTS: If the eBay auto-calculator is not responding, or if you think our shipping costs are too high, please contact us prior to bidding to determine your shipping options and costs. Repeat, prior to bidding, please. FEEDBACK: Because of abuses we've experienced in the past, we have totally given up on the eBay feedback system, so we neither give nor expect feedback. Please, therefore, do not contact us after the auction asking us to leave feedback. If you ever have a problem with an item you purchase from us, please contact us directly about it before giving negative feedback or seller ratings, and especially before invoking eBay's dreaded Grand Tribunal in processes like "Return Requests" or "Opening an Item Not as Described Case." No one is perfect, and we occasionally mis-describe something, or an item arrives late or gets damaged in the mail, but we are always quick to respond to a problem and set it straight in the most mutually agreeable way.
