Description

A romantic, R&B-influenced form of reggae, Lovers Rock was a product of the U.K. reggae scene, becoming popular in the late '70s as mainstream roots reggae increasingly devoted itself to social protest and Rastafarian spirituality. From ska to reggae, Jamaican music had long been influenced by American soul, but lovers rock blurred the lines to a greater extent than ever before, pairing the smooth sounds of Chicago and Philly soul with reggae bass lines and, to a greater or lesser extent, rhythms.

In the years that followed, lovers rock became quite popular among inner-city Britons looking for an alternative to political reggae.

Lovers Rock was one of the rare instances in which UK reggae influenced the Jamaica scene. Artists such as Dennis Brown and Gregory Isaacs spent so much of their time in London that they developed a taste for it, and imported it back to JA.

The record is in & plays VG WOL

Please note **********

My records for sale are used, have been played.

I have tried to grade fairly, but as you can appreciate grading and descriptions are subject to MY OWN interpretation, which may be on some occasions not agreeable to the buyer.

So remember you buy at your risk as if you are not happy with the grading or descriptions DON’T BUY.

I will only give full or partial refunds, where I have unintentionally mis-graded an item as long as the buyer can show that I have. (Emailing me a photo as proof)

Record grading as follows:

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality with sometimes the odd crackle or pop, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion, surface noise and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise.
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
