Description

Hopeton Lewis, Take It Easy with the Rock Steady Beat, on Meritone 203.  Very hard to find copy of the original Jamaican issue of this legend's 1967 LP.  Superb condition.  Side 1 is VG+ with full shine and a short scratch that causes a tick during the last part of Why Must I Cry and the first part of Let the Little Girl Dance.  Side 2 is stunning M-.  This record has obviously seen very, very few plays in the 48 years since it was pressed, and has been kept in its cover.  The cover is excellent, with some light creasing and a few minor blemishes.  But the seams are intact and there's no ring wear, writing, stickers, staples , holes, etc.  Overall, an unusually nice original copy of this excellent LP that deserves its legendary status. 


Grading

MINT-  Perfect or virtually perfect.  

VG+ Light marks, full shine, great looking record

VG  Still fairly shiny but clearly a used record, light scratches, will play well but with some surface noise

VG-  Played or used more heavily, lots of scratches, more pronounced surface noise, but still plays through okay

G  Rough record
