This auction is for the pictured CD from R. Kelly titled Self Titled.
This has been opened and played but I just tested it from my home cd player, my computer, and my car and it works in all areas so it should play perfect for you as well. I take good care of my cd's but this is in used condition. This does come with the cd and all the inserts but does NOT come with the jewel case. I will put it in a jewel case though for shipping purposes but it won't be the one it came in. I am listing my entire cd catalog over the next few weeks so check out my ebay store. I'm selling off my items for my upcoming wedding so bid hard and yes I do combine shipping. Since this is used and it is for my wedding in which I need the money, you are buying this as is. There will not be any returns or exchanges so if you are leary about buying this from me....then don't.
IT WILL BE SHIPPED AS TO NOT DAMAGE AT ALL. Please email me with questions. Thanks.
SHIPPING AND HANDLING
Auction winner who resides in the United States pays shipping and handling of $5.00 (that includes delivery conformation) and your item will be carefully shipped - insurance is an optional $2. Each additional CD won is only $1.50 to ship with this item.
I go to the post office two times a week, on Tuesday and Saturday, so your item will ship depending on when you pay. All US orders usually take 4 business days or longer depending on where you live.
PAYMENT'S ACCEPTED
For inside the U.S. I only accept personal check, money order, and Paypal. If you send a personal check it will be held 7 business days before I ship your item, even if it clears in 2 days it will still be held.
RETURN/REFUND POLICY
No refunds, returns or exchanges - no exceptions. The reason to this is because insurance is optional in the shipping charges. I can not help how the post office handles your item.
I am however easy to work with so if you contact me with any problem before you do anything else, I will do what is reasonable. In other words if it is something I feel is my fault or unfair then I will refund you or exchange the item for you if you like. I will not refund shipping charges though at all. If there is a problem contact me and I will try my best to work something out.
IMPORTANT NOTE
If payment is not recieved within 2 weeks of your order I will assume you are not going to pay me and I will cancel your order and leave the appropriate feedback. However if you can't pay until later just email me and we can always work something out, I'm very easy to do business with. I will give at the maximum a month but only if you contact me. Thank you.

R. was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best R&B Album. "When A Woman's Fed Up" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance.
R. Kelly starts this disc off with a straight-up gospel sermon, and his vocal style is well-suited to it. He learned his craft in church, and he gives praise to God on the disc's liner notes. Of course, the second song is called "Hump Bounce," so that also tells you where this popular, strong-voiced soul singer is coming from.
Kelly sings about different aspects of love, sex, and relationships, with a style that owes much to those who came before him--Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, and a host of others who refined and perfected the art of expression through vocalization. His formula is simple: take a slow or mid-tempo modern R&B structure, add a healthy dose of gospel-inflected vocal runs, up and and down the scale, and Presto!--another hit.
Kelly's material is almost all of the slow-groove style. This is music to make out to, plain and simple, and Kelly is good at what he does. On "Not Gonna Hold On," Kelly and producer Barry Hankerson create a truly hypnotic jam, one that gives the singer room to flex his impressive vocal chops. The arrangement is spare, with just a steady drum tap, and a synthesized keyboard flowing like rainwater behind the background vocal track. Kelly knows how to create a mood, and he does it over and over again.

Rolling Stone (05/13/1999)
4 Stars - Excellent - ...frank yet seductive cooing about humpin' and boucnin'...
Q (02/01/1996)
...There are times when Kelly confuses sincerity with dolorousness, but for the most part, he's pulled it off: an album that moves him into a new realm of pop ambitiousness. - Rating: A-
Entertainment Weekly (11/24/1995)
3 Stars - Good - ...Kelly's third Jive effort indicates that he has the range of an R&B great. It's also the album on which R. and Robert merge offering a look at the man behind the libido...
Rolling Stone (01/25/1996)
...reshapes his personal turmoil to artistic benefit. He opens and closes the album with dramatic testimonials....if the spark of testimony is confession, Kelly shows that testimony can be genius when it is defiant....the heart of Kelly's vision...beats in the love he has found in religious faith...
