Description
BOB MARLEY & THE WAILERS “Babylon By Bus” 1978 PROMO 1st L.A. Press, Vinyl NM.
A special copy of this landmark double live album! 1st day of release promotional copy. Pressed at the Los Angeles Capitol Plant. The vinyls look pristine, shiny with no marks-Near Mint. The die cut and embossed cover has a crease or two, a small corner ding, and some shelf wear on the bottom. There are no tears, splits or losses-Excellent. The full color inner sleeves are intact with no seam splits or tears-Excellent. The limited color poster enclosure is near mint. One would be hard pressed to find a 45+ year old vintage promotional copy in better condition!
This album brought reggae to the mainstream rocker audience. A great live recording- the mix, sound quality, with no distortion was top notch. The science and art of live recordings was at its peak in the 70s. Marley and the Wailers were road tested and tight, at their peak performance. From the Rolling Stone review: “…we hear a new side of Bob Marley-fanciful, lovelorn, vulnerable-that’s as riveting as any of his sulfurous early tirades”. A must for any vinyl collection, and here is an original U.S. day or release promo copy!
Photos are of actual copy for sale.
