About this Item

Not a book but a 10-inch, 33-1/3 rpm, vinyl LP record, Capitol H-211, near-mint vinyl in a near-mint cardboard jacket. Song stylist Kay Starr's first LP features "Steady Daddy" and "You've Got to See Mama Ev'ry Night (Or You Can't See Mama At All)." Starr, a child prodigy of Iroquois descent (she was born on the reservation in Dougherty, Oklahoma), had her first real hit when she convinced Roy Acuff to write her some lyrics to the fiddle tune "Bonaparte's Retreat." As her background was in Western Swing, and as even Elvis Presley praised her jazz-oriented style in early interviews, she would have seemed a natural to move into rock 'n roll, but probably she'd come along just a decade too soon. (On July 5, 1954, the day rock 'n roll was born, clean-cut Kay Star was 32.) After this promising opening entry, Capitol offered her only "pop" material which had already been rejected by their top artists including Peggy Lee and Ella Mae Morse, and Kay Starr ended up touring with Pat Boone. Catalogs $70; here reduced from $37.

Sale & Shipping Terms

Terms of Sale

While we mark down our unsold books on a regular basis, our "BEST PRICE" on any given day is the price posted. We purposely avoid selling on the "Make me an offer" auction sites, where every book is "acceptable" and paperback reprints of "The Great Gatsby" bearing ISBNs and barcodes are listed as "published 1925." And we DECLINE to jack up our prices by 20 percent so we can offer every supplicant a supposed 10 or 15 percent "discount," thus turning anyone who simply pays our asking price into a ...

Shipping Terms

Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 lbs., or 1 kg. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required. Please make sure your e-mail program will accept such an inquiry from an ABE Books address. "SHIPPING RATE" is a small pull-down menu at ABE. Media mail is the default setting; you may choose "Priority," which costs more but carries some automatic insurance protection, if you wish. To keep our basic shipping rate competitive, we do not routinely pay out of pocket to insure books valued under $50. HOWEVER (SIGNATURE REQUIRED): We now ship all parcels valued at $90 or more "signature required," at our expense. Customers are responsible to provide a secure shipping address. In the case of shipments valued over $90. Should no adult signer be available when the mailman calls, buyers should be on the lookout for a "notice of attempt to deliver." We ship in boxes -- not plastic bags. In our experience, deliveries to France, Italy and Western Australia can take from three to 13 weeks, regardless of shipping method. We cannot control Customs delays in such countries, the luxurious seasonal vacation schedules of government functionaries, nor the proudly announced preference of Australian postal authorities to spend a week shipping even "Priority" packages across the continent from Sydney to Perth by truck -- camels apparently not being consistently available.
