CONDITION:

VINYL: VG++, FULL DEEP SHINE, A FEW VERY FAINT SUPERFICIAL LIGHT SCUFFS THAT DO NOT EFFECT PLAY AND ONLY DETECTED UNDER SCRUTINY UNDER LIGHT, LOOKS PLAYED A HANDFULL OF TIMES WITH GREAT CARE.  VERY HIGH COLECTIBLE COPY

THIS IS A FIRST PRESSING FROM JAMAICA AND THE QUALITY OF THE VINYL IS NOT LIKE THAT OF COMMERCIAL WESTERN RECORD COMPANIES.  THERE IS A FULL RICH SOUND THAT IS AMAZING FROM THE PRODUCTION BUT BECAUSE IT WAS NOT PRESSED ON VIRGIN VINYL THERE IS SOME LIGHT SURFACE NOISE AND A FEW CRACKLES HERE AND THERE.  THIS AGAIN IS THE RESULT OF THE PRESSING QUALITY. ANY SERIOUS COLLECTOR OF ROOTS MUSIC WILL BE FAMILIAR WITH THIS.  ANY ORIGINAL 1ST PRESSING EVEN IF IT WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN PLAYED WOULD HAVE A SIMILAR SOUND QUALITY.  

COVER: VG,  THERE IS SOME LIGHT TO MILS WEAR. NO SEAM SPLITS ASIDE FROM THERE BEING LAMINATION PEEL ON THE FRONT COVER (SEEN IN PHOTO) WHERE CARDBOARD UNDERNEATH IMAGE IS SEEN IT IS A NICE COPY

CENTER LABELS: VG++
