THE CONGOS HEART OF THE CONGOS 33 RPM. - BLACK ART LP-4049-A / LP-4049-B
ORIGINAL (JAMAICAN) 1ST PRESS ISSUE, FROM 1977
LEGENDARY BLACK ARK ROOTS ALBUM BY THE CONGOS RARE 1ST PRESS LP AND ORIGINAL MIX.
ONLY EVER APPEARED IN THIS ORIGINAL MIX FOR THE FIRST FEW HUNDRED PRESSED IN JAMAICA, ANY OTHER VERSION SEEN WILL BE A VERSION OF THE SUBSEQUENT MORE COMPLICATED MIX THAT LEE PERRY PUT OUT LATER.
THIS EARLIEST ISSUE HERE IS A MORE DOWN TO EARTH VERSION, THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE IS THE LACK OF 'SPECIAL EFFECTS' IN THE MIX, THIS ONE IS SPARSE AND A LOT MORE CRISP IN EFFECT.
THE 1ST ISSUE SLEEVE: THE BLUE STRIPES ON THE FRONT OF THE SLEEVE WERE PAINTED OVER (POSSIBLY BY BLACK ARK ARTIST JAH WISE OR BY LEE PERRY HIMSELF) WITH YELLOW PAINT, ...BECAUSE HE DIDN'T LIKE THE COLOUR OF BABYLON!
RECORD AND SLEEVE STRICTLY GRADED TO UK 'RARE RECORD COLLECTOR PRICE GUIDE' GRADING STANDARDS.
VINYL CONDITION THE VINYL IS IN VERY GOOD + CONDITION BRIGHT, CLEAN AND SHINY, RETAINING IT'S ORIGINAL MIRROR SHEEN,
WHEN CLOSELY EXAMINED UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE A FEW VERY LIGHT SURFACE ONLY TRACES. THE VINYL PLAYS LOUD AND CRISP WITH LIGHT CRACKLE HERE AND THERE.
LABEL CONDITIONS THE LABELS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, WITH NO HANDWRITING.
SLEEVE CONDITION
THE SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, THERE IS SOME SMALL HANDWRITING ON THE FRONT AND BACK OF SLEEVE. THERE IS SOME LIGHT 'RING WEAR' ON THE FRONT AND BACK OF SLEEVE, NO TEARING. THERE IS NO SPLITTING TO THE SPINE, CORNERS OR EDGES.
