The Rolling Stones- Jamming With Edward! 8-track tape- Factory Sealed!

Rolling Stone Records

As pictured. All 8-track tapes-- even if factory sealed-- are sold strictly as collector’s items with NO guarantee concerning their operating condition-- although it is unlikely a purchaser would want to break the seal on one. Although problems are rare, most 8-track collectors are very aware that sealed tapes were notoriously unreliable even when new, are susceptible to age-related deterioration to wheels and pads-- and they have NOT improved with age!

Jamming with Edward! is a 1972 album by three Rolling Stones band members (Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman) accompanied by Nicky Hopkins and Ry Cooder.

The album was recorded at London's Olympic Studio on April 23, 1969, during the Let It Bleed sessions, and released on Rolling Stones Records in 1972. It consists of a series of loose jams performed by band members while waiting for Keith Richards to return to the studio. The reason for Richards' absence is uncertain; though it is commonly believed that he walked out over Cooder being brought in as a support guitarist, producer Glyn Johns has attributed his absence to a phone call from his girlfriend Anita Pallenberg. Although Jamming with Edward! reached No. 33 on the US charts in February 1972 during an 11-week stay, it failed to make the UK listings.

"Edward" is a nickname for pianist Nicky Hopkins, originating from some earlier studio conversation between Hopkins and another Rolling Stone, Brian Jones. Hopkins also contributed the cover art. In the original liner notes, Mick Jagger describes the album as "a nice piece of bulls*it... which we cut one night in London, England while waiting for our guitar player to get out of bed. It was promptly forgotten (which may have been for the better) ... I hope you spend longer listening to this record than we did recording it."

- SHIPPING NOTES-

U.S. CUSTOMERS: A package of FIVE tapes weighs under a pound, so an order of up to five can ship via USPS Media Mail for the same price as ONE! Thus, purchasing multiples saves you significantly over ordering one at a time. Put everything in your cart, then order. Nonetheless, due to the way eBay calculates combined orders, you will likely be overcharged for shipping at checkout. But with multi-tape orders, I subtract the actual cost of the label from the total you were charged for shipping—then promptly refund the difference. If a domestic the order is for over $40 (not including sales tax), I’ll refund ALL the shipping. Fair enough?

NON-U.S. CUSTOMERS: With most International orders, “one pound and under” packages can be sent quite reasonably. Five 8-track tapes weigh just under a pound, so five can be sent for the same price as ONE. However, given the way eBay calculates the weight of combined orders, you will likely be overcharged for shipping at check-out. But with each multi-tape order, I subtract the actual cost of the label from the total you paid for shipping—then promptly refund the difference. Often I’ll get an inquiry as to the cost of shipping 30 or 40 tapes, but this never works out—since International rates rise exponentially with the weight and size of the package.
