I used to produce a Skinzine back in the 1980s, BATW, have finally decided to thin out my Ska/Rocksteady & Reggae collection of 7" built up over the last 40 years. I now collect 70s/early 80s mid-tempo, crossover, disco soul and would be open to trades if anyone has such stuff, especially Caribbean Islands soul issues (Jamaica/Barbados/Trinidad etc).
SOUND FILE
Sound file link supplied below via Drop Box. Recorded on an Audio-Technica AT-LP60 USB turntable at 128 bit rate, so don’t expect superior quality audio! However if there is any pops, clicks or background noise you will hear it. Please listen to it before bidding to avoid questions of grading. Any trouble listening to the tracks, please message me your email and I will send the MP3s to you directly. Please, please listen before bidding to avoid any later confusion.

GRADING
Please read carefully before bidding.
RECORD (Visually): VG+
Retains nice full sheen, some superficial light hairlines/scuffs more so on the 'Country Gal' side. I would probably grade 'Jamaica Is The Place' as VG++>Ex, lovely and clean, 'Country Gal as VG+, has some light lines/scuffs. Both sides play well.
Brilliant clean labels, with tri centre intact!
I should imagine ok for DJ purposes and to be honest this is used ska/reggae vinyl, ticks and background usually come with the territory! Please see pictures as well as the sound file for more detail of grading.
The above record grading is based on Record Collector magazine system:
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has obviously been over played, and will probably display deterioration in sound quality, it will probably have lots of fine lines and the odd scratch. Wear and tear on the cover or extra items.
Records shipped in dedicated record mailer with two stiffeners.
