| La MONT ZENO THEATRE – “The Black Fairy” (197?) super rare original private press afro-modal jazz SEALED
This is a super rare monster private release of a black power theatre LP with the words written by Eugene Perkins and the music written by Anthony Llorens and Jerry Johnson. Outta Chicago, this one includes a line up featuring Larry Burton on bass, Earl “Chico” Freeman on horns, Jerry Johnson on congo and acoustic and electric piano, Anthon Llorens on organ and electric piano, John Llorens on lead guitar, and Michael Llorens on drums.
There’s a mix of instrumental and vocal tracks, and songs are “Black Fairy Meets Johnny,” “Please Give Me Some Magic,” “Black Fairy Meets Black Bird,” “Tell Them They are Beautiful,” “Travel to Afrika,” “Black Fairy Meets Queen Mother,” “Aricka’s My Home,” “Black Land of the Nile,” “Trip to America,” “Go Down Moses,” “Did You Feed My Cow,” “The Streets of Harlem,” “Afrikan Children,” “Black Men Can Be Beautiful,” “Black Fairy,” “Eulogy for the Black Fairy,” “Black Fairy Returns,” “Hey, Black Child,” and “Johnny & Black Fairy.”
This is an incredible copy of this album. It’s an original with the art cover. It’s a perfect sealed copy. I grade this conservatively STILL SEALED original.
Winner pays postage. Domestic U.S. shipping is $3.50 media rate or $8 for priority mail (insurance additional and quoted at cost). Shipping to Canada is $7 for airmail or $4 for surface mail. I will quote overseas postage when overseas winning bidder specifies air/surface mail – a good guideline is $7 for a single LP by surface mail and $14 for a single LP by airmail.
I package all LPs securely in record mailers and remove the vinyl from the covers to prevent seam splits during mailing. I do not just stick your record in a priority mailer box from the post office or between two thin pieces of cardboard with no additional packaging materials like so many others!!!
I DO NOT ACCEPT PAYPAL!
PAYMENT DETAILS – PLEASE READ! I WILL LEAVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK FOR ANY WINNING BIDDER WHO LATER IS NOT WILLING TO MAKE PAYMENT BY ONE OF THE FOLLOWING METHODS…
Domestic Bidders – Personal checks are cool for payment but must clear (10 business days). Money orders get next day shipping. Overseas Bidderfs – we’ll work this out – I’m really flexible. I accept cash in a registered letter, IMOs, and bank checks drawn in US dollars and sent to me from the bank’s U.S. branch (must have magnetic ink U.S. routing numbers printed along bottom). I am not able to accept Paypal or any other credit card payment. Please don’t bid and then say you can only pay by paypal – Paypal is not an option for me, and I will leave you negative feedback if you do not complete the transaction by one of the methods noted above.
Why don’t I accept Paypal? I once was a credit card merchant, operating BreakDownRecords dot com, and processing customers credit cards online using the security software provided to me through the credit card company. When someone paid by credit card, they were actually on the CREDIT CARD COMPANY'S OWN merchant processing site. Someone hacked into the credit card company's site, used my particular merchant account to process thousands of stolen credit card numbers to verify the numbers in conjunction with various expiration dates, and I lost $3,000 as a result. PayPal.com operates the exact same way. That's when I learned that as a credit card merchant, you have absolutely no redress with the credit card companies, even if it's from their end that the theft occurs. That's how they're able to offer you, the credit card user, unlimited protection. So, as a result, I'll buy things with a credit card, but no way in hell will I ever accept them again as a seller. The reward is not worth the risk.
Thanks for looking, and good luck!
All the best from New Orleans,
Larry
