Description
This increasingly rare blue beat compilation was issued in 1968 and brought the dance floor-friendly grooves of ska, rock steady, lovers rock and more to those with ears to hear in the UK, thanks to 10 killer cuts from Soul Vendors, The Termites, Jackie Mittoo, Alton Ellis, Keith & Ken, Dudley Sibley and The Soul Brothers.
This copy has been well used and well loved but still has life in it yet.
The front laminated sleeve has creasing, ringwear, corner wear and some staining to the back cover but no seam splits, or major damage. It grades Good +.
The vinyl has lots of scuffs, scratches, marks and hairlines, including one long scratch (pictured) but the heavyweight vinyl and deep grooves are very forgiving and it actually plays through OK with audio that is loud and clear, albeit with surface noise and some tics at times. Visually it grades Good at best, but the audio is much more like VG.
The labels have some spindle wear and grade VG.
Plain white inner sleeve.
Bargain rare find.
