Description
Surprised this didn’t go first time around judging by the number of views & watchers.
I was going to take it down and put it with my record fair stock, but I left the auto re-list on and already generated more interest.
I’ll give it one more fly and as an extra incentive, I’ll chip a bit more off the start price.
Won’t be listed again after this.
Superb condition and scarce limited edition reggae box-set released by Trojan in 1985.
Three albums featuring Lee Perry aka Scratch The Upsetter and his band including several collaborations with other notable reggae performers.
All three albums in the box set were originally released on Trojan in the U.K./Jamaica in the early-mid 70s and are collectables in their own right.
Artist: Lee Perry, The Upsetters & Friends.

Vinyl: All three are Ex. Super clean copies with only light superficial hairline surface surface marks and retaining a glorious lustre and sheen. All play-tested in full and reproduction is fantastic. Labels are nice and clean in standard Trojan orange/white design with black label-text and purple Trojan branding. Only light signs of spindle wear.
Sleeves: Rated at VG + but that may be a little too critical. The box and sleeves remain in great shape for their age with no splits, tears or creases. Each of the sleeves inside the box is made from thick paper with an orange sepia effect photo cover. Reverse carries extensive sleeve notes from Steve Barrow, dated August 1985.
This is a great example of a genuine rarity and collectors item.
There are a couple of others for sale at the moment on this site, and this copy stands up with the best of them.
I’m prepared to let this go with a buy it now if anyone wants to secure it, otherwise, the auction start price is a nice attractive (and reduced) tempter!!
Happy to ship anywhere but GSP applies to overseas.
As always I offer a full no-quibble money-back guarantee if any winning bidder not satisfied.
Postage discounts available when combined with other items from current listings.
Any questions just drop me a line and thanks very much for looking.
