PLEASE READ THE DETAILED GRADING 

Here is  a chance to own a 1970 LP FEATURING SOME AUTHENTIC REGGAE SO KEENLY SOUGHT AFTER BY COLLECTORS AND DJs WITH MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE BADLY SCRATCHED AND DAMAGED! 

YOU MIGHT NEVER SEE THIS ONE AS GOOD AGAIN-SOME MINOR SIGNS OF USE BUT NOT MUCH. 

WHEN I STARTED IN THE BUSINESS IN 1986, THIS WAS A HARD ENOUGH LP TO FIND, EVEN HARDER IN 2008!

AT THE TIME, MOST REGGAE/SKA FANS WENT FOR SINGLES AND THIS LP WAS NOT IN PRINT FOR LONG AS IT WAS NOT A BIG SELLER. 

THE TRACKS ALL CHUG ALONG NICELY WITH SOME  MEMORABLE TUNES.

IT IS RARELY SEEN AND HEARD, SO IT IS A VITAL LP FOR ANY REGGAE COLLECTOR AND/OR KEEN FAN!

AS REGARDS THE SURVIVAL OF SUCH AN LP IN EXCELLENT CONDITION,DON'T FORGET IN THE EARLY 1970s SO MANY RECORDS WERE PLAYED ON HEAVY RADIOGRAMS WITH STYLI THAT WERE RARELY CHANGED AND AUTOCHANGERS THAT LEFT NASTY SCUFF MARKS TRAPPING GRIT AND DUST.

ALSO THE TINY PORTABLE PLAYERS WOULD CAUSE SIMILAR DAMAGE OR BY DJs WHO WOULD HANDLE THE DISCS IN A QUICK, CLUMSY FASHION SPILLING DRINK/FAG ASH AND WORSE.

VERY FEW TEENAGERS WHO WOULD LIKE REGGAE WOULD HAVE ACCESS TO THE CASH FOR LPs.

THE PRINT RUN FOR THESE LPs WAS MINIMAL COMPARED TO MORE"WELL KNOWN" MUSIC ON BIGGER LABELS AND ONLY REALLY BIG STORES WOULD CARRY THEM AS"OFF THE SHELF"ITEMS-YOU WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO ORDER THEM AND IN 1970 WHEN THIS LP WAS ISSUED, ANOTHER FACTOR IN THE SCARCITY ALMOST 40 YEARS LATER!

HOW OFTEN DO YOU SEE ONE AS LOVELY AS THIS?

I AM HAPPY TO COMBINE POSTAGE FOR SEVERAL LPs WON.  

AN EXCELLENT CONDITION DISC-A FEW MINOR COVER REMOVAL SURFACE MARKS IN STRONG LIGHT AND HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE EVEN AT HIGH VOLUME BUT THAT IS BEING STRICT WITHOUT ANY FILTERING/MONO SWITCH OR TONE CONTROL ADJUSTMENTS.

I LISTEN WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON TO DETECT ANY FAULTS.

MY AIM IS THE WINNER WILL GET IT AND CONSIDER IT AS DESCRIBED OR HOPEFULLY BETTER THAN THEY EXPECTED!

PLEASE TAKE SOME TIME TO STUDY MY FEEDBACK AND ALSO NOTE REGULAR BUYERS RETURNING TO ME OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR MORE KNOWING THEY ARE GOING TO GET CAREFULLY CHECKED ITEMS.

NO JUMPS/NO STICKS/NO HORRIBLE CLICKS/BUMPS OR EVEN SWISHES-A LITTLE SURFACE CRACKLE AT HIGH VOLUME HERE AND THERE THAT REMINDS YOU IT IS A VINYL DISC BUT GENERALLY A VERY FINE SOUNDING DISC THAT I WOULD BE VERY HAPPY TO OWN AND MY ULTRA STRICT GRADING IS TO BE NOTED!!!!!!!!!!

THE VINYL IS PERFECTLY FLAT!! 

THERE ARE A FEW MINOR CREASES AND SOME SLIGHT STAINING.

A FEW TINY SPOT SURFACE TEARS AT THE BACK. 

GLOSSY FRONT LAMINATION IS ALL THERE WITH NO PEELING! 

THERE ARE NO RIPS/NO WRITING/NO REPAIRS etc-IT IS STILL BETTER THAN MOST THAT SURVIVE.

YOU MIGHT HAVE THE TRACKS ON CD BUT THE BEAUTIFUL COVER IS ONE TO CHERISH AND WOULD LOOK FANTASTIC IN A FRAME OR JUST TO KEEP FOR INVESTMENT. 

ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE WHICH IS SO OFTEN MISSING!

A SIGN THAT THIS LP HAS SPENT MUCH OF IT'S LIFE INSIDE THE COVER!

PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS- I TRY TO CAPTURE AS ACURATE  PHOTOS AS MY DIGITAL CAMERA CAN PROVIDE!  

ON OFFER AT A REALISTIC STARTING PRICE OF £15 WITH NO ANNOYING RESERVE!
