Description
BORIS GARDINER – “EVERY NIGGER IS A STAR” / “GHETTO FUNK”
LEAL – ORIGINAL JAMAICAN PRESSING
RARE YELLOW LABEL WITH RED PRINT
Here’s a serious piece of Jamaican funk and soul history.
Offered here is an original Leal pressing pairing two phenomenal Boris Gardiner sides:
“Every Nigger Is A Star”
b/w
“Ghetto Funk”
An absolutely killer double-sided 45 and a highly collectible piece for anyone digging Jamaican funk, deep funk, soul, reggae and original Caribbean pressings.
TWO ESSENTIAL SIDES
“Every Nigger Is A Star” has grown far beyond its obscure Jamaican origins to become one of Boris Gardiner’s most recognized and celebrated recordings — a beautifully soulful cut with an unmistakable atmosphere.
Flip it over and you get “Ghetto Funk” — raw, heavy Jamaican funk and exactly the kind of deep cut serious funk collectors and DJs hunt for.
There is NO throwaway side here.
This is a true double-sided collector’s 45.
ORIGINAL LEAL PRESSING
This copy features the distinctive:
YELLOW LEAL LABEL / RED PRINT
This is an original pressing — NOT a modern reissue or reproduction.
That distinction matters with this title, as the music has been reissued over the years. Here’s an opportunity to own an original vintage copy on Leal.
CONDITION: VG
Vinyl grades VG.
The record shows signs of previous play consistent with the grade. Audio remains good and enjoyable, with sound quality appropriate for a properly graded VG vintage Jamaican 45.
A solid playing copy of a very difficult record.
Please examine all photographs carefully for the exact cosmetic condition of the vinyl and labels.
