PAGET KING – CLOSE ENCOUNTER
Original UK 12" Reggae / Dub Pressing

A highly sought-after original UK 12” inch featuring Paget King's superb "Close Encounter," a deep and atmospheric roots reggae masterpiece that has become a firm favourite amongst collectors and sound system enthusiasts. Released in very limited numbers, this elusive pressing is regarded as one of the hidden gems of the UK roots era and rarely surfaces for sale in original format.

"Close Encounter" delivers everything collectors expect from a heavyweight roots production—an irresistible steppers rhythm, rich bassline, crisp percussion and haunting performance, all expertly balanced with spacious production that allows every element of the recording to breathe. The result is a timeless roots reggae recording that has earned an excellent reputation amongst serious reggae collectors and selectors alike.

The accompanying version provides a superb dub workout, stripping the rhythm back to reveal the depth of the production, immersive echo effects and powerful low-end frequencies that make this release equally at home on a sound system or in any serious reggae collection.

This is a record that continues to command attention from collectors of rare UK roots reggae and dub.

An essential addition for collectors of Paget King, UK roots reggae, deep dub, steppers, sound system classics and scarce original 12-inch pressings. A genuine collector's piece that seldom becomes available in this condition.

Please study all photographs carefully as they form part of the description. The record will be professionally packed using a premium record mailer with protective stiffeners to ensure it reaches its new owner safely.
