CONDITION OF CD: Like New to Near Mint Condition
CONDITION/CD JEWEL CASE: Used (Very Fine to Near Mint)
I would like to say hello to all of you that used to be my customers well over 3 years ago. Due to the damages caused by Hurricane Katrina we have been closed since then, but we are open once again.....
WE PRIDE OURSELVES IN PROVIDING EXCELLENT CONDITIONED CD'S, DVD'S, AND CD-FORMAT VIDEO GAMES/SOFTWARE. You will be very happy with the condition of the cd's themselves. We do not sell anything that skips, and 99.8% of our cd's look brand new (we resurface them, and you can't see the resurfacing marks...we are VERY good at it!!). WE GUARANTEE THEM TO PLAY PROPERLY (except for international buyers that buy without contacting us first). Please note that 99.999% of our DVD's are North America format, so INTERNATIONAL BUYERS BEWARE!!!....IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A DVD PLAYER THAT WILL PLAY THE NORTH AMERICAN FORMAT, PLEASE DO NOT BID ON OUR DVD'S!!!....
ALL DVD'S, CD'S, VIDEO GAMES, AND PIECES OF SOFTWARE WILL BE SHIPPED IN BUBBLE PACK MAILERS, AND WE DO USE 1ST CLASS WHEN AVAILABLE (UP TO 13 OUNCES, THEN WE DEFAULT TO MEDIA MAIL RATE). IF YOU WANT YOUR ITEMS SHIPPED FASTER THAN THIS, PLEASE CONTACT US AFTER PURCHASING AND MAKE ARRANGEMENTS WITH US. THANK YOU :)
On that note, all international bidders MUST CONTACT US PRIOR TO BIDDING AND/OR PURCHASE OF ANY OF OUR PRODUCTS. This is done in order to assure that the item(s) can be shipped to your location and that the proper s&h rate is quoted, and if you want to purchase DVD's I want to make sure that you know you will need a DVD player that will play Region 1 (North American) Format, or that you have a computer with the capability to play the disc.
In addition, we give HUGE breaks on s&h for additional items purchased. Shipping and Handling is $4.00 for the 1st CD shipped, $1.50 each additional CD. Please contact me if you want to purchase 10 or more items, as the s&h may drop even more. Please check the stock in my eBay store, you will find hundreds and hundreds of CD's and DVD's (at current count well over 500 DVD's), and in the next few weeks we will be adding hundreds and hundreds of music cd's and more role playing game books to the store, so keep an eye on us if you want. We also gladly accept customer want lists, as we are constantly getting new stock in. :)
If you have a question please ask with enough time prior to closing. I will be happy to assist you.
We aim to be the best source for like new conditioned used CD's, DVD's, and video games/software on eBay. We will make every effort possible to make you happy with your purchases, and we would love to count you as one of our valued long-term customers.
Terms Of Shipment:
This item will be sent 1st class mail due to the weight of the cd (With packaging materials it will weigh under 13 ounces). Delivery confirmation is included if you pay via Paypal, but insurance is not. You will have to pay extra if you want insurance. We will be shipping the order in a bubble pack mailer.
INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS (Outside of the USA) MUST CONTACT US BEFORE BIDDING. NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE PLEASE. SHIPPING AND HANDLING TO OVERSEAS ADDRESSES IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE, AND WE NEED TO CONFIRM THAT THE PACKAGE CAN BE DELIVERED TO YOUR ADDRESS/LOCATION!
While we guarantee that the disc(s) will play, we cannot refund s&h (since it is a hard, sunk cost and cannot be recovered).
In addition, winning bidders of multiple auctions will receive increadible breaks in the overall s&h rate.
Thanks For Looking, and in the case that this is an auction, GOOD LUCK! |

Producers: Tom Rothrock, Rob Schnapf, Karl Stephenson, Beck.
Recorded at Karl's House and Rob's House and Beck's four track.
"Loser" was nominated for a 1995 Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance.
The definitive outsider, Beck is a lonely voice raging against the stifling winds of conformity and complacency in both our mainstream culture and in our stock-model counter-culture (check out one of his first indie releases, "MTV Makes Me Want To Smoke Crack"). Growing up in heartland America, Beck dropped out of high school and cultivated his muse on a combination of traditional folk music and Delta blues, not unlike another legendary outsider from the heartland--Bob Dylan.
Already well-known in the New York and Los Angeles folk scenes, Beck's stature as an independent artist was cemented by college radio programmers. While terms like "alternative" came to mean next to nothing, Beck's 12" version of "Loser," released on the Bongload label, became an underground hit. The music he makes on MELLOW GOLD is an unruly synthesis of Americana, completely devoid of cliches as Beck stumbles on one fresh idea after another with a rare sense of discovery. At any given moment you might hear an Indian raga ("Steal My Body Home"), chicken-fried hip-hop ("Loser" and "Soul Suckin Jerk"), a John Lee Hooker/Rolling Stones shuffle ("F*****' With My Head"), post-modernist noise ("Mutherfuker") or echoes of down-home blues ("Blackhole").
Beck makes his diverse range of sources on MELLOW GOLD work. Each song sounds lived-in and alive, all run hurdy-gurdy through the meat-grinder of an original sensibility, fashioned with grow-your-own power and spirit on a humble 8-track recorder in his producer's living room. "Soul Suckin Jerk" is a freedom cry for every small town kid working away dutifully in some dead-end job just trying to imagine a better tomorrow. "Pay No Mind (Snoozer)" employs a series of sleazy images ("Give the finger to the rock and roll singer as he's dancing upon your paycheck/The sales climb higher through the garbage-pail sky like a giant dildo crushing the sun...the drugs won't kill your day job") to impale corporate rock upon its own pretensions and decry the malling of America. "Beercan" brings inner-city rap face-to-face with the traditional talking blues of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, animated by a remarkable series of samples over a percolating dance beat. MELLOW GOLD is a shot across the bow of business-as-usual rock.
| | Editorial reviews | Ranked #2 in Spin's list of the `20 Best Albums Of '94' - ...Beck's stylistic experiments and lyrical indulgences are often intoxicating, sometimes infuriating, but...always giving the finger to the rock'n'roll singer...
Spin (12/01/1994)
Ranked #10 in the Village Voice's Pazz & Jop Critics Poll.
Village Voice (02/28/1995)
Ranked #31 in NME's list of the `Top 50 Albums Of 1994.'
NME (12/24/1994)
...where 60's rockers set out to be beacons for a generation, Beck aspires only to be a symptom of his....reflects the twentysomething trademark, a mixture of self-mockery and sardonic defiance....While Beck's rap roots are in Dylan's `Subterranean Homesick Blues,' his splintered recordings make him a child of hip-hop...
New York Times (03/27/1994)
...an accomplished raconteur of subterranean homesickness....America's youth never had a a more absurd--or honest--anthem....
Spin (04/01/1994)
...Both dopey and insinuating, Beck's full-length debut is total novelty pop, a cheeky mix of Ray Stevens, Falco and the Beastie Boys... - Rating: B
Entertainment Weekly (03/25/1994)
Ranked #8 in EW's Top 10 albums of the '90s
Entertainment Weekly
...however offhandedly delivered, [MELLOW GOLD is] genuine artistic expression, of which one suspects there'll be more to come. And if this is Beck, I can't wait to get to Clapton and Hendrix...
Musician (04/01/1994)
3 1/2 Stars - Good Plus - ...Beck makes ultrasurreal hip-hop-folk that harkens back to Subterranean Homesick Blues....catatonic cool....Beck's verbal collages get close to the truth of his milieu and our times. Think of it as generational code or stream of unconsciousness. But it's really called poetry....
Rolling Stone (04/07/1994)
