Description

An original first pressing with the infamous yellow hand painted stripes. 
This is the jewel in the crown of any reggae collection. 

The vinyl has a couple of surface marks which I’ve tried to capture in the photos.
The record plays well. There are some background crackles as you’d expect from a pressing of this vintage. I can send a video of necessary. 
The sleeve is in excellent overall condition for the age. There’s even an additional yellow paint smudge for extra uniqueness. 
Please message me with any questions. 
Due to the value I will not post this overseas unless the buyer pays to insure and is prepared to take a shipping risk
