Description
Osbert Madoo – ‘King in The Ring’ / Papa San – ‘Ghetto Life’ – Sunsplash 003 (UK)>
Wicked tune on a sort of variation of the ‘Joe Frazier’ rhythm. Osbert Madoo – not to be confused with his younger brother UU Madoo, though both of them, somewhat confusingly, had records released under the name of Madoo (and sometimes Maddo), nor the excellent Badoo (real name: Horace Grossett) – cut the equally crucial ‘Joe Grine’ and ‘Jamming So’ for Joe Gibbs. In any case, this is one fierce tune, and it comes with a great DJ cut from Papa San on the flipside. There are no versions. Full clips of both sides below
Condition: Close to excellent, though the A-side has one fairly loud click at circa 1:47; this is due to a quirk in the pressing (please listen to the clips). Clean labels with only the slightest trace of wear on the B-side (please see scans).
Please reply within three days after auction close. Payment via Paypal expected within five days. Will not be held responsible for uninsured parcels.
Shipping 1-2 singles: US $8.00 within Europe, US $10.00 to the rest of the world. Shipping 3-5 singles (or one album, or one 12-inch record): $11.50 within Europe, $13.00 to the rest of the world. Shipping 2-3 albums (or 2-3 12-inch records): $24.00 within Europe, $28.50 to the rest of the world. Registered and insured shipping (with a tracking number) is an additional US $11.00 per parcel to cover a total value not exceeding $80.00. The surcharge is US $16.00 for a total value of up to $1,550.00 (which is the maximum). Please get in touch for further combined shipping rates. Shipping from Sweden is very expensive, not least due to the fact that the weight increments are few and far apart, but it’s usually swift and safe.
American bidders, kindly note that shipping to the US is emphatically not US $4.00; this is eBay’s American default setting and not applicable as I am based in Sweden. Please use the postage rates above, or wait for my invoice. Thank you!
Please note that like many other sellers of reggae on eBay, I’ve been the victim of so called ‘fake bidders’, bad minded people with no intention of purchasing the item they bid on and whose only game seems to be to ruin the auction for buyers and sellers alike. If your feedback less than five, please get in touch with me before bidding, or unfortunately I will have to cancel your bid.
In the event that the record is won by a ‘fake bidder’, to save time, I will sell it to the second highest bidder before attempting to relist it. Obviously, the second highest bid will have been raised, as it were, artificially by the ‘fake bidder’. To the extent that it’s possible (this isn’t always the case), when making a Second Chance offer, 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). Please bear in mind that Second Chance offers are automated (by eBay) and the amount can not be changed by me. Hopefully this auction will be free from any such problems!
Happy to answer any questions! Please see my other auctions with many rare items this week!
Thanks for looking and good luck!
