Ray Charles - Singular Genius

[king ubu]

Let me repeat this here - I'm not the seller, but if anyone's interested, let me know today (I'll be at the office for around 6 hours from now and could drop by the shop on the way home, afterwards, it'll be in two weeks time and obviously I can't guarantee the box is still there ... can't do so for tonight either, but the odds are good):

If anyone is still looking for "Singular Genius" and prepared to pay 60 Swiss Franks (64 US$ or 50€) plus shipping*, let me know by writing a PM tonight or tomorrow (by latest at noon US time) and I'll grab the copy that's at the shop where I got mine!

*) shipping estimate ... just weighed mine plus some old amazon box and it's around 500 grams, which makes a big price difference, I'm afraid - rates are:

to 500 g / Europe: CHF 15.50 (economy) or 20 (priority) / overseas: CHF 18 (eco) or 26 (prio)

over 500 g / Europe: CHF 18.50 (eco) or 26 (prio) / overseas: CHF 24 (eco) or 36 (prio)

I can do my best to pack it that it's below 500g but can't really promise anything ... but I guess it gets to expensive for US anyway. And in my experience economy shipping within Europe is fine (takes ca. 2 weeks usually) - I'm quite sure these rates are up to date. Compared to the few new copies up on amazon, that's quite okay a price, I think (not sure it will be sealed, CDs often aren'tt over here, but I can of course check and get it only in case it's in perfect shape - I will not guarantee that it arrives in such, though, but I will do my best to pack it nicely, though that will probably mean it goes over 500g., adding some bubbly stuff etc.).

I'd take a Mosaic or amazon gift certificate in ways of payment.

So, if anyone's interested, let me know! (can make it to that shop tomorrow, if not, only in two weeks again - but I guess chances are that it will still be there by then - not sure where they got another one from anyway)

in case anyone wonders why I'm posting this: seems the box was pulled by the heirs or some such, price for new copies (if available at all) are high, and the music is excellent ... carpe diem!

Yep, the licensing deal was cancelled by the Ray Charles Estate soon after the set was released.

I realize I'm a day late, but I'm sending a PM anyway.

Thanks very much,
