Description

History through music.  This month we are fortunate enough to offer an incredible dub/reggae/ska collection (Including 2 originals on Black Ark - also know as Black Art - produced by the master himself, Lee Perry).  These auctions are almost entirely compromised of one gentleman's collection of original Jamaican Pressings.  He was a radio DJ from the mid-1970's to the mid 1980's.  He frequented Jamaica with the mindset of collecting these limited press records.  He also had his local Boston record shop special ordering Jamaican pressings.  This collection truly does tell a story of a time of political, social and religious unrest.  Because he was a collector the records are in surprising good shape.  As all of you know the Jamaican recordings were not the greatest to begin with.  My grading is visual and some have sound clips attached.  All are original (unless otherwise noted, very few) and guaranteed to be 100% authentic.  Thank you and HAVE FUN!

Words/Vampire
Sangie Davis and Lee Perry/Devon Irons and Doc Alimantado

Matrix (Dead Wax) "Words": LEE PERRY 2051 A WORDS MADE IN JAMAICA BS RRS 77 NOV

Matrix (Dead Wax) "Vampire": LEE PERRY 2052 A VAMPIRE MADE IN JAMAICA BS RRS 77 NOV

This is the ULTRA RARE ORIGINAL JAMAICAN 1st PRESSING of the iconic Lee Perry Masterpiece "Words" and "Vampire".  This single grades to NEAR EX.  There are a few light surface marks.  In my opinion it plays EX or better, but please listen to the clips.  GUARANTEED TO BE ORIGINAL.  The ORIGINAL SLEEVE is also included in this auction.  In EX condition with the exception of the following minor issues. There are two small stickers in the upper right hand corner.  There is also slight staining in the bottom right hand corner (front/back).  Please see photos GUARANTEED TO BE ORIGINAL.  (This was acquired in the 1980's).  Please also see "Heart of The Congos" listed in a separate auction right now!  Item # 331199273258   .  Thank you and this would be a shining centerpiece to anyone's collection.  There are OVER 400 OTHER REGGAE AUCTIONS RUNNING RIGHT NOW!  Check 'em out!
