Description
Produced by King Sounds/Karl Pitterson. Grove Music GMDM 7. Purchased on release in 1978.
The flipside, "Diverse Doctrine" was a roots hit for Ras Ibuna in 1976 being produced by Bob Marley's sound and dub mix engineer Karl Pitterson. Then in '78 Ibuna struck again with "Pay Dem Dues" now produced by the then Yabby You partner King Sounds. Both these hits here appear side by side in extended versions featuring toaster Jah Woosh. My money is on the flipside, what a killer tune it is!
Cover would have been perfect if not for some ringwear at the top and bottom on both sides. The cover being yellow, it is not very disturbing (see image). The vinyl is perfect NM, the record having only been played a few times. A rare chance to complete your collection of the sought-after Grove Music 12 inches - they were of uniformly superior quality, both musically and in terms of pressing.
The item is part of my collection purchased new between circa 1974-83. Recorded to cassette tape at the time, I now possess a number of original records in an enviable condition! NONE HAS SEEN ANY "PARTY" or "DJ" USE WHATSOEVER !!!
The occasional spin throughout the years has always been using very good cartridges & turntables. Products like Empire 4000 - a serious cartridge in the 70s - an AKG (that made very little impression on me), a Goldring Eroica leading on a powerful Clearaudio Aurum Alpha and most recently a Dynavector D17 Karat Mk II should give you an idea. The players too have certainly not been hard on the vinyl: a legendary belt-driven Micro-Seiki, a Pro-ject during the 90s when my interest in vinyl was low, but recently a serious piece of British engineering from Nottingham Analogue Studios.
I follow the modified Goldmine definitions (inserting the useful EX midway between NM and VG+) and try to be conservative, carefully describing any peculiarities to the record. Even if groove wear is not an issue with any of my records I will honestly tell you if the pressing is not the sharpest one.
By this I want to point out that what has not been picked up by my audiophile gear is probably not there at all. In the unlikely event there will be a question of returning items, this will therefore be carefully considered on a per item basis. I am not a professional seller and I therefore know what I am selling by route. Hope you take that as an assurance of accurate descriptions. I have myself grown rather tired of buying EX and NM records on eBay only to find an alarming percentage of even top graded material to suffer from clearly audible groove wear.
When auctioning my several collectable items I address collectors with a feel for vinyl reproduction. I expect only serious bidders to participate; people willing to honour their bids and and able to pay for their purchases within 7 days. Items will be shipped immediately upon receipt of payment. If you want a valuable record insured, write me and say so before you make the payment.
Swedish postal fees are somewhat less attractive than those of the UK but as most of my items are collectables, I hope this won't detract from the appeal of the auctioned objects.
As a last general remark I must stress these are scans of the actual object being auctioned.
