BOBBY MELODY – TRY SO HARD

Original 12" Jamaican Pressing • African Museum Records

An exceptionally rare original AfricanMuseum 12-inch featuring Bobby Melody'ssuperb "Try So Hard", backed with Gregory Isaacs – "Echos."Producedby the legendary Gregory Isaacs on his iconic African Museum label, this is one of the most desirable vocal 12-inch releases from the label's classic period and an increasingly elusive original pressing.

A genuine heavyweight roots reggae killer, "Try So Hard" perfectly showcases Bobby Melody's rich, soulful vocal delivery over a deep, atmospheric rhythm, while Gregory Isaacs' "Echos" on the reverse completes an outstanding double-sided roots classic. This is the kind of record that has remained a favourite with collectors, selectors and sound system operators for decades.

An essential addition for collectors of Bobby Melody, Gregory Isaacs, African Museum, heavyweight roots reggae, lovers rock, duband classic Jamaican sound system music.

Please study all photographs carefully as they form part of the description. The record will be professionally packed using a premium record mailer with protective stiffeners to ensure it reaches its new owner safely.
