COUNT OSSIE and His RASTAFARIAN DRUMMERS & featuring Brother Samuel J. Clayton
GROUNATION - THE MYSTIC REVELATION OF RASTAFARI Jamaican 70's 3 LP set
Musical director Cedric "Im" Brooks

Jamaican MRR triple LP in STEREO

"produced" by Arnold Wedderburn (recorded live in '70, in nature -
if You're not familiar with this please beware: occasionally quite lo-fi)

MRR Records no number, now careful w/ these matrix numbers:
side 1. ND 1002-B
// side 6. ND 1000-A
side 2. DSR 2568
// side 5. DSR 2471
side 3. DSR 2469
// side 4. DSR 2470

(-73) ? late 70's;  EX+/M-/M-/M-
Made in Jamaica; 16 tracks on brilliant vinyls in very neat sleeve,
I bought this in early 80's so I won't even try to date it more accurately.

(CD released w/ subtitle "The Spiritual Roots of Reggae"...) As You can
see, the sleeve (single "wallet" only) is a b&w version of original New
Dimension release, which was used in original MRR boxed set in '77;
so this is a reissue of that w/ same matrix numbers (ND is from '73!).
Address - this is my favourite part: Adastra Road = ))

Excellent, sometimes brilliant sound quality but some tracks have
lots of Jamaican crackling.

Sleeve / record grading

Note: All grading is done by eye (jacket first), with more than 30 years of experience. I have tried to be VERY strict to avoid nasty surprises. (Standard jewel cases NOT graded.) Your money back, if my grading is false! I hate deceitfully upgrading sellers, too!
Ringwear, adhesive tape, price tags or their remains, pen markings et al are separately noted.

Sealed = Not opened. The shrink wrap or other seal may be slightly torn but clearly the record has never been taken out of its cover.

M (Mint) = Perfect, looks like never been played - but of course You can never be absolutely sure.

M- = Near mint, has been to a Good Owner, who played it very carefully and probably not many times.

EX+ (Excellent +) = Has been to a Good Owner or two, who played it carefully and handled it as well as You or I but there are minor signs of use.
May have remains of price tag glue.

EX = A record that is clearly a used one but should satisfy most collectors. Possibly light scratches. Sleeve corners or edges may be slightly worn, but no seams are split. May have remains of price tag glue; all these are explained.


I don't sell records in condition worse than EX, unless they belong to an interesting collection.
If a compact disc looks suspicious, I'll play it and if does not cooperate, I won't even try to sell it!
I have used this grading successfully in Finland and I apologize, if it differs substantially from gradings You are more familiar with.

P&P applies to Economy Mail to all destinations; if You want to "upgrade" it to Priority, please contact me!
 
Thanks and good luck!
