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.
