Description
ATTENTION 2 TONE LABEL AND REGGAE/SKA MUSIC COLLECTORS!
HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1981 ISSUE OF THE 2 TONE ARTISTS ALBUM: "DANCE CRAZE-THE BEST OF BRITISH SKA...LIVE".
THIS IS THE EARLIEST PRESSING ON THE CHRYSALIS PRESSED 2 TONE LABEL:CHR TT 5004 AND HOUSED IN THE EARLIEST LAMINATED FRONT+FLIPBACK COVER-LATER ONES WERE MATT FINISH!.THE DISC IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION AND HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED. DIRECT FROM THE COLLECTION OF A MAJOR COLLECTOR WHO HAS FINALLY DECIDED TO SELL HAVING CARED AND CHERISHED HIS RECORDS-MOST BOUGHT NEW AT THE TIME WITH MINIMAL PLAYS AS OFTEN THE CASE WITH LARGE COLLECTIONS.THEY WERE STORED UPRIGHT ON STRONG SHELVING AWAY FROM LIGHT,HEAT,DAMP AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS A NON-SMOKER! THIS IMPRESSIVE COPY HAS AMAZINGLY NOT HAD MUCH USE IN 36 YEARS. LOCATING A REALLY OUTSTANDING 1981 ISSUE PRESSING IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN ESPECIALLY 2TONE ONES AT PARTIES AND IT IS FACT THAT THE MAJORITY OF FANS DO NOT LOOK AFTER THEIR RECORDS CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR. THIS COPY HAS HAD CAREFUL USE WITH GLEAMING SURFACES. JUST A COUPLE OF ULTRA FAINT AND TINY SURFACE MARKS. THERE IS HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE AND NO LOUD CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS. STRICTLY AND SERIOUSLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION! SUPERB SOUND! THERE IS HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR AND NO LABEL WRITING,STAINING,RIPS OR DEFACEMENT.THE COVER HAS A LITTLE STAINING AND A FEW MINOR CREASES BUT NO RIPS,WRITING OR REPAIRS. PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER AND BOTH LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE! A LOW,REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE WITH MORE REGGAE/SKA LPs FROM ME ON EBAY THIS WEEK AND TO FOLLOW. PERSONAL COLLECTION IS WELCOME FROM MY SHOP IN NORWICH AT A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME.
Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.
Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.
The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!
This is my honest grading!!!
Please see my listening policy below.
I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
