Description
Here is the VERY HARD TO COME BY 'Sunshine With My Girl' by Prince Buster.
The B side is the legendary 'Girl Answer Your Name' with that SCARY BIG BOSS GANGSTER BASSLINE AND REVOLUTIONARY, ARCHETYPAL ,1960'S POWERHOUSE GUITAR INTRO !
Overall, this is a very clean copy both in label and vinyl.Sound quality is great and both sides play with hardly any crackle.
HOWEVER, PLEASE NOTE... THIS RECORD WAS CLEARLY,ONCE UPON A TIME, HANDLED BY A SELECTER AT A BLUES PARTY AS THERE IS EVIDENCE OF A CIGARETTE BURN ( MORE LIKELY A BIT OF BURNING SPLIFF ASH) ON THE VINYL OF SIDE A. THIS HAS RESULTED IN THE CREATION OF A VERY TINY HOLE (please see photo no.3), WHICH HAS PENETRATED THROUGH TO THE OTHER SIDE TO FORM A VERY TINY, BARELY VISIBLE CRATER.Miraculously, this HAS NOT caused the record to jump or skip. By the spiritual will of Prince Buster's forefathers, the record plays WITHOUT any interruption to the flow of instruments or singing. What YOU DO GET ,however, are NINE MINOR POPS on the A- side (My Girl) from 27 seconds to 38 seconds into the record. On the B-side, (Girl Answer Your Name), where the microscopic crater is, you get FOUR MINOR POPS between 32 seconds and 36 seconds into the record.
So, please remember...NO SKIPS, NO JUMPS, NO HISS - and HARDLY ANY CRACKLE !!!!
I've has this single for 20 years and have never had any problems djing with it and, to be frank, no one has ever noticed the pops except for me (and possibly, before my days, the selecter who dropped his spliff ash on it !).
PLEASE BID ON THIS ITEM WITH CONFIDENCE. IF YOU ARE IN ANY WAY UNHAPPY WITH IT, YOU WILL RECEIVE A NO QUIBBLE REFUND..
Owing to the aforementioned, I shall start bidding on this item at 14.99 with no reserve.
SIDE A: Sunshine With My Girl
SIDE B :Girl Answer Your Name
LABEL: BLUE BEAT 355
YEAR: 1966
CONDITION: VG++ . If it wasn't for the tiny spliff burn, I would easily grade this as an EX as there are hardly any visible marks on the vinyl under normal light and both sides have retained some sheen. The middle of the record bears the small remnants of where a sticker once was. In general, the record plays perfectly !!
