ATTENTION REGULARS AND NEW CUSTOMERS: I'M MOVING ON TO NEW LISTINGS!!! First off is a small group of comedy and parody 45s, 'cause lord knows we all could use a laugh since the gubbamint has gone beyond being funny, surpassed lunacy and is now just plain pathetic!

Also, a HUGE THANK YOU to all my customers for your concern & support! It means more to me than you could EVER imagine!!! Now, let's continue...

PLEASE READ THE INFO FOR MY LISTINGS!!! I SIMPLY DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO ANSWER QUESTIONS DUE TO PEOPLE NOT PAYING ATTENTION! IF YOU DO NOT GET A REPLY,  I'M NOT RUDE,  YOU SIMPLY NEED TO READ THE LISTING! YOU ONLY HAVE TO READ THE 'GENERAL' INFO ON THESE 45s ONCE, AFTER THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE A GOOD IDEA OF WHAT'S UP!!!

It's true, I have 2muchstff & finally decided some things just have to go! I will be selling a large 45 collection that literally covers all styles & genres of music. Since I have so many, I also decided I don't have the time to research 'market values' for them - much to your benefit. All 45s will have a minimum bid of only $.99! This is in no way a reflection of condition as many of these were rarely played by me or were treated with care & I grade conservatively - record / sleeve & only note any flaws not obvious in the pictures -  i.e seam splits, writing on other side ect - vinyl grading is visual, I don't have time to listen to all of them! (PLEASE, check my feedback to verify past customer's satisfaction with items I have offered!) I will be listing them in alphabetical order, generally, to make it easier to scan the listings. If you do not see a sleeve in the picture, assume it comes in a plain white sleeve. Due to the large number, I have no idea when unsold items will be relisted so if you miss an auction - you missed it! The first group was rock & pop oriented, next came R&B, soul, funk, disco, dance pop ect, then oldies but may return to rock & pop (maybe later in the year) - I have found that this works better for buyers who generally have specific interests!

STAN FREBERG TAKES A LOOK (SHUDDER!) AT THE SELF IMPROVEMENT MOVEMENT - CALIFORNIA TRACTS AND TRANSCONTINENTAL MEDITATION (1:53) / WERNER VON ERSATZ (2:00) / MAHARISHI COSGROVE (1:55) (SOUTHERN BAPTIST RADIO AND TELEVISION COMISSION 101578) RARE EP from 19?? in VG+ / VG+ condition with only very light signs of wear or play! Has a plain white paper inner sleeve inside an outer cardboard jacket that has 2 'slices' on back that held some kind of 'mailer' (according to an online discography), but since I've never seen another one, I don't know what that was. Jacket has creases at top corners and light signs of wear, but still intact and quite nice! 3 funny audio essays/commercials for the Southern Baptist churches on this RARE item!!!

A tremendous 'completist piece' item that would make a fine addition to any serious Stan Freberg / comedy / pop or 70's/80's/90's+ music collection!!! All 45s shipped sandwiched between cardboard, records will be removed from pic sleeves! As always, bid with confidence and look for my other items at auction here!

DOMESTIC U.S. SHIPPING DISCOUNT FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS BOUGHT WITHIN 7-DAY PERIOD! For 45s, the discount works like this: $2.50 for the 1st 45 and $.50 for each additional 45.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE - IF YOU ARE GOING TO CONTINUE BIDDING -LET ME KNOW ASAP!!!

THAT WAY I CAN WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE FINISHED BIDDING BEFORE ISSUING YOU AN INVOICE AND YOU ONLY HAVE TO MAKE ONE PAYMENT!!! AT $.99 MINIMUM BIDS, I HAVE LOST MONEY DUE TO BUYERS WHO MAKE MULTIPLE PAYMENTS AND EXPECT ONE SHIPMENT - WHICH I AM CHARGED FOR BY PAYPAL!!!!   -  FROM NOW ON, IF YOU MAKE MULTIPLE PAYMENTS FOR ITEMS WON WITHIN 7-DAYS, I WILL BE FORCED TO SPLIT YOUR ORDER INTO 2 SHIPMENTS AND YOU WILL LOSE OUT ON THE SHIPPING DISCOUNT!!!   BE CONSIDERATE, BE SMART AND YOU WILL SAVE$$$!!!

DUE TO NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE FRENCH POSTAL SERVICE ALL ORDERS TO FRANCE MUST BE VIA REGISTERED INTERNATIONAL MAIL WITH NO GUARANTEE OF DELIVERY! (THEY KEEP SENDING SHIPMENTS BACK WITH NO EXPLANATION?!) SO, ANY SHIPMENT RETURNED FROM THERE WILL RESULT IN A REFUND FOR THE PRICE OF THE ITEM(S) ONLY, SHIPPING COSTS WILL NOT BE REFUNDED!!! (SORRY, BUT I'VE TRIED TO CONTACT FRENCH POSTAL SERVICE IN THE PAST ABOUT THIS 'PROBLEM' & RECEIVED NO RESPONSE... IT'S NOT MY FAULT AND IT'S NOT WORTH FIGHTING OVER... THERE'S WAY TOO MUCH FIGHTING ALREADY IN THE WORLD!!!)

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS: Please wait for an invoice for proper shipping & handling costs to anywhere outside the US! Amount shown in 'drop-down' box is only approximate! Some items may be subject to to Registered Mail shipping for tracking and insurance, this is for your protection as well as mine. Check my feedback from my international customers to verify their satisfaction!!!   (HINT: Click the ''Feedback left for others'' on my feedback page, I always note international customers in the feedback that I leave for them. You can cross reference easier that way!)

Just for future reference, I don't sell items outside of e-Bay's system because they are not covered by Seller-Buyer Protection provided by e-Bay & I like my protection!
Too many people think waiting until the last minute to bid is a good strategy. No strategy is that good when 'everybody' uses it, that actually tends to negate the strategy! Those same people always underestimate their own ability to blow it & miss an auction or fall prey to Murphy's Law and 'life' gets in the way causing one to miss an auction's end. Both of these things happen a lot! There's an old expression, ''Like singin' the blues, if you snooze, you lose!'' I don't mean that in a disrespectful way, just pointing out a funny truth about how life can be. My strategy belief is, if you see a good quality item from a seller with good feedback, bid right away & hope you can be there at the last minute! (Or bid the highest amount you'd be willing to pay, e-Bay will automatically bid for you up to that amount. AND, their system only bids what is necessary to counter another bid up to that amount, so you could still end up with a great bargain!!!) What's the worst that can happen when the truth is, ALL auctions are ultimately a 'crap shoot', i.e. a gamble, sometimes you win and sometimes you don't!
