Description
On offer here is a mega rare1973 first pressing of The Wailers LP 'Catch A Fire'.lThis is the ultra rare very first pressing with the famous 'Zippo' sleeve on the pink rim Island label!!!! This ultra rare first pressing is almost impossible to find in any condition let alone in this excellent condition!!! This copy is in very good condition for its age with no major defects!!!!!! Most copies of this record turn up for sale in very worn condition and virtually unplayable. This unique sleeve is fully intact and the critical 'hinge' still works perfectly.
Sleeve Unlaminated top opening 'Zippo' sleeve printed by Robor Ltd in VG condition!!! A clever piece of design and production this sleeve (designed by Rod Dyer and Bob Weiner) and one of the few album sleeves with radius corners. A few creases running the circumference of the LP but are not detrimental to the overall appearance. Tips of flames on die cut slightly burred. Some rubbing to corners and and edges which again do not detract from the overall excellent appearance and a very small crease on hinge by stud on back - Spine (which is at the top of the top hinge section) in very good condition all type legible and undamaged. Incredible to think that 34 years have passed and yet this is in very good condition!
Labels Ultra rare original Island pink rim labels are in very good condition !!!! Strong colour, little fading. a few light spindle marks, no writing.
Vinyl Ex minus Condition Perfectly flat and still with it's original 'just pressed' sheen -Just a few light surface marks.
This is most definitely one for the serious collector!!! The chances of finding another first press of the album are very slim - in any kind of decent condition very remote. Original first pressings of 'Catch A Fire' are total gold dust in any condition!!!!. Believe me you will not want to miss this mega rare opportunity to own this stunning unique Wailers classic. Surely the Holy Grail of Bob Marley / Wailers albums!!!!!!Important!
