Description
JAMAICAN FIRST (AND PROBABLY ONLY) PRESSING ON VINYL. AN ENORMOUS 8 LP BOX SET WITH INNERS AND BOOKLET.
STAMPERS: ON 1ST LP ARE: GLEX-1-A SPIDERMAN SONGS OF FREEDOM TUFF GONG.
BOX: GOOD, SOME NICKS AND EDGE SCUFFS, CORNERS HAVE COME APART BUT COULD BE REFIXED, SMALL TEAR BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. BOOKLET GOOD JUST LIGHT READING WEAR, INNER SLEEVES ALL VERY GOOD BUT HAVE SMALL SEAM SPLITS MIDDLE LEFT EDGE AND SOME EDGE SCUFFS.
DISC: OK - HERE'S THE CLASSIC JAMAICAN VINYL PRESSING DILEMA: MOST OF THE DISCS PLAY WELL, AND SOUND AMAZING, SO LONG AS YOU AREN'T AFTER AUDIOPHILE TYPE SOUND ON A VPI TURNTABLE, BUT IF YOU WANT THAT JAMAICAN/NOTTING HILL, LONDON SOUND-SYSTEM TYPE OF POWERFUL REPRODUCTION, THEN THIS IS IT - HEAVY, HEAVY BASS, DEEP CUT GROOVES ON LESS THAN GRADE-A VINYL (DO THEY LEAVE THE PRESSING PLANT DOORS OPEN WHEN THEY MAKE 'EM I WONDER?). IF YOU BUY JAMAICAN REGGAE YOU KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. SO, PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT THE TYPE OF AUDIOPHILE PRESSING YOU WOULD GET FROM, SAY, A GERMAN PRESSING. WHAT YOU DO GET IS AN ORIGINAL FIRST ISSUE ON VINYL OF ALL THIS RARE MARLEY STUFF ONLY OTHERWISE ON WIMPY NO-BASS ALLOWED CD - WHICH IS HARDLY THE WAY TO LISTEN TO REGGAE IS IT? I DO NOT THINK THIS CAME OUT ON VINYL ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD, BUT I MAY BE WRONG, I HAVE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE.
I'LL GRADE IT DISC BY DISC FOR THE SAKE OF HONESTY, BUT IF YOU INTEND PLAYING THIS SET ON A TOP-END SYSTEM I WOULD ADVISE AGAINST PLAYING A FEW OF THE SIDES, BUT IF YOU HAVE A TECHNICS TYPE DJ TURNTABLE OR SOUND SYSTEM SET-UP, THEN THIS'LL PLAY MIGHTY FINE.
DISCS A, B, C, D, E, I, K, L, M, N, O, P all PLAY REAL WELL WITH NO SKIPS OR JUMPS, THEY HAVE SOME LIGHT HAIRLINES AND A FEW OF THOSE LITTLE PITS THAT APPEAR ONLY ON JAMAICAN RECORDS (WHERE THEY DROP THE GANGA IN....ONLY JOKING...). SIDE F IS VERY GOOD BUT HAS TWO LIGHT SCRATCHES ONE ON EACH SIDE, SIDES G & H ARE SOMEWHAT POORLY PRESSED AND I DIDN'T FANCY PLAYING IT ON MY DECENT HI FI WITH AN EXPENSIVE STYLUS, THE VINYL LOOKS SOMEWHAT MURKY BUT THERE'S NO ACTUAL DAMAGE TO THE DISCS.
THIS ENTIRE SET WEIGHS A TREMENDOUS 6 TONS, WELL, IT'S WELL OVER THE 2KG WEIGHT LIMIT FOR AIR MAIL SMALL PACKAGES, SO THE CHEAPEST WAY TO SHIP IT IS TO BREAK IT INTO TWO AIR MAIL SMALL PACKAGES (ALL OTHER SHIPPING COMPANIES THAT GO BY SIZE AND WEIGHT OF WHOLE PACKAGE WANT UPWARDS OF £80 OR MORE) SO THE CHEAPEST WAY IS AS BELOW - THIS IS THE ACTUAL COST OF SHIPPING+ TWO MAILERS TO PUT THEM IN, IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO PAY THIS PLEASE DO NOT BID, WE CANNOT SHIP IT SAFELY ANY CHEAPER TO YOU - WE WILL ONLY SHIP SIGNED FOR DELIVERY.

Paypal’s buyer and seller protection policy requires that we ship all international packages with proof of delivery. This protects both the buyer and the seller from loss or non-receipt.
