Description

Jackie Mittoo – ‘Deeper And Deeper’ / Manchesters – ‘Selassie Bandman’ – Coxsone / Studio One blank (JA)

This is a very rare record, with two great tracks back-to-back. ‘Deeper And Deeper’, Jackie Mittoo’s take on Barry White’s ‘I’m Gonna Love You Just A Little Bit More Baby’, belongs next to classic Studio One covers of ‘Soulful Strut’ and ‘Time Is Tight’. The flip is very interesting, too, a rarely heard roots reggae tune by the obscure Manchesters – a vocal group straight from country by the sounds of their voices, and all the better for it. The matrix numbers are FCD 6001-A (‘Deeper’) and FCD 7905-A (‘Selassie’).

Condition: Near mint. An unusually clean Studio One pressing although there is a little surface noise. ‘Deeper And Deeper’ starts very quietly, but as you can hear, there are no clicks and the surface noise subsides as the tracks goes on. It's an absolutely top-notch copy! (Please listen to the clips; I’ve included the full length of ‘Deeper And Deeper.’) Clean labels; there is title info in thin ballpoint on the ‘Deeper And Deeper’ side and a sort of a mirror image of a Coxsone label on the ‘Selassie Bandman’ side (please see scans).

Please reply within three days after auction close. Payment via Paypal expected within seven days. Will not be held responsible for uninsured shipping.

Shipping 1-2 singles is US $6.50 within Europe, US $8.00 to the rest of the world. Registered and insured shipping is an additional US $13.00. Please contact me for further combined shipping rates.

Please note that like many other sellers of reggae on eBay, I’ve been the victim of so called ‘fake bidders’, bad minded people who have no intention of purchasing the items they bid on and whose only intention is to ruin the auction. If your feedback is zero, please get in touch with me before bidding, or I will have to remove your bid and offer the record to second highest bidder. Obviously, the second highest bid will have been raised, as it were, artificially by the ‘fake bidder’. I will try to lower the selling price to one increment above the third highest bid by way of offering a discount or free shipping (or both). Here’s hoping this auction will be free from any such problems however!

Happy to answer any questions. Please see my other reggae auctions with many rare items this week.

Thanks for looking and good luck!
