Description
VERY RARE EARLY 60'S JAMAICAN BLACK VINYL ISSUE SKA ALBUM ON THE WIRL LABEL.
THE RECORD IS IN A STRONG EXCELLENT MINUS CONDITION,WITH ONLY 5 VERY SMALL LIGHT SURFACE MARKS ON THE "A" SIDE,ONLY 2 OF WHICH CAN BE FELT,BUT CAN ONLY BARELY BE HEARD.THE "B" SIDE HAS ROUGHLY THE SAME AMOUNT OF MARKS BUT NONE OF THESE CAN BE FELT.THE VINYL IS STILL BRIGHT AND GLOSSY,AND PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY,WITH THE BARE MINIMUM BACKGROUND NOISE,NO MAJOR POPS,CLICKS ETC.NO JUMPS OR SKIPS.ALSO,THE STANDARD OF MUSICIANSHIP ON THIS LP IS FANTASTIC.
THE COVER,AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES, HAS BUBBLED DUE TO THE FACT THAT BOTH FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER IS AN ORIGINAL PAPER COVER THAT WAS GLUED DIRECTLY ONTO A STIFF BARE CARDBOARD COVER.THE SPINE IS ALMOST COMPLETELY SPLIT,THE TOP EDGE IS FRAYED,THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IN SLIGHTLY BETTER CONDITION WITH ONLY A SLIGHT AMOUNT OF FRAYING.IT IS,HOWEVER,STILL ALL IN ONE PIECE AS THE CARDBOARD USED IS VERY STRONG.THE FANTASTIC CONDITION OF THE VINYL MORE THAN MAKES UP FOR ANY DEFECTS IN THE COVER.
