Description

YABBA YOUTH - CHANT DOWN BABYLON KINGDOM

I'm Selling My Collection: From 1970 - 1983 I was a rock critic in the UK and US - Sounds, NME, CREEM, Rolling Stone, etc. - and wrote major pieces on the Stones, Jimmy Page, Queen, Bowie, Patti Smith, and in 1976 chronicled the first year of Punk. [It's all here: http://jonh-ingham.blogspot.co.uk/]. Somewhere in the middle I did PR at EMI and Island. In 1977 I managed Generation X and in 1980 the Go-Gos. I've run a club, been a DJ, ran labels...All the time, I collected records. Now I'm selling them.

EVERY RECORD & CD I LIST IS MINE - 99% of the time I got them when they were released. I really took care of them - I had a great stereo and a Shure V-15 cartridge. I did my best to keep everything in perfect condition - not easy with some of the flimsy cardboard used for covers.

There's a lot of bs on eBay hyping up how rare the seller's records are and how perfect the condition is. I describe these records as honestly as I can. The discs are inspected in daylight. Please use the Zoom function on the photos to check for yourself.

ABOUT THIS RECORD:

Original UK 1977 1st pressing on NATIONWIDE in PERFECT CONDITION. Original label and cover - see photos.

Bought this from Geoff Travis at the original Rough Trade on Kensington Park Rd. the week it came out in 1977. There was so much great reggae coming out and Geoff always had the best new sounds. We were really into Yabby You/Yabba Youth and anything played by Sly & Robbie and The REvolutionaries.

You will not find another copy better than this condition and this original.

Happy to answer any questions you have about this very rare awesome record.

CONDITION:
Record - 100%. Perfect. No marks or scratches. Beautiful vinyl - it glows. Perfect labels with no spindle wear.
