V/A: Swinging Mademoiselle Volume 3 LP

The person who compiled the album PROMISES this to be the final volume of the Swinging Mademoiselle series, of which the last volume was issued 10 years ago. This LP is also a companion to Girls in the Garage Volume 12 which is available for purchase here.

Swinging Mademoiselle Volume 3 contains fabulous French female garage, psych, freakbeat and pop tracks (some from Belguim and Switzerland) recorded  between 1963 to 1972 though most fall in to the ’65 – ’68 time frame, all from vinyl singles, in superb sound quality with a fully annotated (in French and English) and illustrated insert.

This volume features Valery, Michele, Dorine, Arlette Zola, Dyanna, Gilels et Dominique, Josiane Rey, Marie Claire Courcel, Nicole Josy, Patricia, Monica Berg, Francine Sarall, Christine Moncenis, Groupie, Elsa Laurent, and Martine Ledug.

Please be advised that even with careful shipping from France, the sealed album jackets have a small ding in one corner. Not bad enough that it should sway you away from purchasing the record but noticeable enough to where we wanted to tell you about it.

Tune in to LuxuriaMusic.com, 1/16/13,  3 – 5 pm Pacific for two hours of sweet and sassy sounds from some of our favorite female fronted vinyl 45s and LPs from the ’60s with a short set of ’77-78 Fem punk blasts on the SUGARTOWN episode of  Over Under Sideways Down featuring your host Lee Joseph and guest co-host, Athena Daytona.

Here is my playlist and podcast link for Over Under Sideways Down, show #11, my first live show in the newly moved and improved LuxuriaMusic studios. A departure from my usual focused theme shows, I plucked an assortment of records from the unfiled stacks in my house and came up with quite the musical roller coaster ride. Podcast links below.

Closing

In years of dealing with buyers and sellers on eBay, I’ve never been involved in an eBay rip off before. Until I met member born322008.  There is a first time for everything…

In September of 2012, I purchased off of eBay an original mono UK pressing of “Beatles For Sale” from eBay member from Israel – born322008. The record was listed as being nm. The photo was of the front cover only and didn’t show the actual condition of either jacket or record. Upon opening the package, I was surprised to find a record with a well used jacket and record that graded somewhere between a vg- to vg. I contacted the seller about this and was told “hello if you want plese send it back and i give you a full refund it relly rare and i see it like nm thanks.” Seriously – because he thought it was rare he saw it as nm! What bullshit. I told him that I’d send it back and want to be reimbursed for the cost to ship back to which he replied “ok”.

I shipped the record back and heard not a word. When I sent a note, he said that he had been called to war and would take care of it when he returned. He didn’t. He was actively selling which leads me to believe he was lying to me though even if he was away he obviously had access to the internet and could have refunded my PayPal payment. I was trying to be nice and trusting by not leaving negative feedback or contacting eBay, counting on this guy to come through. He didn’t and my time to challenge this expired. I contacted him via the “ask this seller a question” on one of his other auctions, he said he’d pay me (SANS my cost to ship the record back) next week. Next week never seems to arrive.

DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THIS SELLER!

I am going to send him the link to this piece, if he decides to pay me, I’ll take it down. I’m not counting on it though.
