~ CATCH A FIRE ~
(1973 ISLAND RECORDS – RARE ORIGINAL UK FIRST VINYL PRESSING!)
ON OFFER HERE IS A GENUINE ORIGINAL UK FIRST VINYL PRESSING OF THE SENSATIONAL REGGAE ALBUM CATCH A FIRE BY THE WAILERS ON ISLAND RECORDS WITH PINK RIMMED LABELS AND PALM TREE LOGOS.
THE SLEEVE FUNCTIONED IN THE SAME WAY AS NORMAL ZIPPO LIGHT WOULD; WITH A RIVETED HINGED LID THAT OPENS TO REVEAL THE RECORD INSIDE. HOWEVER ISLAND SOON REALISED THAT THIS DESIGN WOULD REQUIRE COSTLY HAND-MANUFACTURE. HENCE PRODUCTION WAS QUICKLY STOPPED AND ALTERNATIVE ARTWORK WAS USED GOING FORWARD. THUS MAKING THESE 'ZIPPO' SLEEVES HIGHLY DESIRABLE AND COLLECTABLE

THE SLEEVE
THE “ZIPPO” SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THE MOVEMENT STILL WORKS AND THE RIVET IS STILL HOLDING THE TWO PARTS OF THE SLEEVE TOGETHER. THERE IS SOME DAMAGE TO THE FRONT AND AROUND THE RIVET ON THE FRONT WHERE THE PREVIOUS OWNER TRIED TO REINFORCE IT WITH TAPE. OTHERWISE THERE IS SOME LIGHT WEAR, THERE IS SOME SCUFFING TO SOME AREAS ALONG THE EDGES AND TO THE CORNERS. THERE ARE A FEW MINOR CREASES. THERE ARE NO SPLITS AND THERE ARE NO INSCRIPTIONS. THE TEXT ON THE TOP EDGE IS STILL ALL LEGIBLE.
THE INNER SLEEVE
THE ORIGINAL BLUE, POLY-LINED ISLAND INNER SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH SOME WEAR AND CREASING.
THE VINYL
VISUALLY THE HEAVY, GLOSSY BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN SEE SOME LIGHT MARKS. I HAVE LISTENED CAREFULLY TO BOTH SIDES AND CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT BOTH KILLER SIDES.
THE LABELS
THE ICONIC ISLAND LABELS WITH PINK RIMS AND PALM TREE LABELS ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH JUST A FEW LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS.
SIDE ONE
- CONCRETE JUNGLE
- SLAVE DRIVER
- 400 YEARS
- STOP THAT TRAIN
- BABY WE’VE GOT A DATE (ROCK IT BABY)
SIDE TWO
- STIR IT UP
- KINKY REGGAE
- NO MORE TROUBLE
- MIDNIGHT RAVERS
ALL RECORDS ARE REMOVED FROM ANY PICTURE SLEEVE TO PREVENT KNIFING. I DO NOT USE 'ENVELOPE STYLE' MAILERS. INSTEAD I USE SPECIAL MAILERS DESIGNED TO PROTECT YOUR RECORDS AND ENSURE SAFE ARRIVAL.
