You will find thousands of CD's and DVD's in my eBay store (at current count well over 3750 CD’s and 500 DVD's), and in the next few weeks I will be adding hundreds of music CD’s, DVD’s, and role playing game accessories to the store.

Terms Of Shipment:
Shipping and Handling is $4.00 for the 1st CD shipped, $1.50 each additional CD (this quoted s&h rate is based on a cd being of normal weight and size....If it is a double-disc cd, in a chubby jewel case, or heavier than usual the s&h price will be higher).
I guarantee that the CD(s) will play without errors or skips but I can’t refund s&h, as it is a sunk hard cost that cannot be recovered.

Media mail moves just as fast as Parcel Post does, and it is designed for items that I sell here on eBay. 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.

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)
