(Huuuge sounds of roots & culture on this Rockers-Collection outta Augustus Pablo's premises ... 9 tracks at all including gems like Sister Jam's "People Of This World" ... Norris Reid's fantastic "Protect  Them" ... Delroy Williams gorgeous "Three Men In A Truck Back" ... which is followed by Jah Bull's congenial Deejay-cut ... Earl Sixteen presents his marvellous "The Rastaman" ... followed by a deep dub-version ... moreover we find brilliant instrumentals by the man Augustus Pablo ... and a great outing by roots outfit Tetrack ... this album comes as original 1980 Jamaican press on Pablo's Message-imprint ... slightly different sleeve compared to the US-press ... nice heavy wax original JA styleee ... roots rockers ... don't miss out!) 

ORIGINAL PRESS

FEATURE: CREATION VIBES 

WAX 'N' SOUND: ex-/ex-, nice & heavy wax is very shiny, some surface marks and light surface scratches not affecting play, plays Cool Melody-styleee w/ extraordinary punch & well crucial sound, there's lightest occasional crackle to be expected!

LABEL: both sides show hardly any wear, NO writings/markings, NO damages - perfectly perfect (watch the scan, please)!

SLEEVE: ex condition, lightest general wear, NO writings, NO damages, very very nice condition!

" REGGAE - SKA - ROCKSTEADY - ROCK STEADY "

Something 'bout Sound + Vision: We shouldn't rely on visual appearance alone (as pretty looks isn’t all as they say) - therefore these records are graded after their visual appearance and their sound quality! 

I personally prefer a record with crackling but strong sound + punch to one playing clean but with surface noise from the pressing (as we find with re-pressed discs - too - often).

Grading records is a very subjective thing but I try hard to be objective as a human being can be (yes indeed, this seller is a human being). 

THIS IS MY VINYL GRADING SCALE: 

EX (= really great - EX means "excellent", really...)

VG (= nice, if you don't have an excellent one - by the way: VG means "very good"...)

G (= playable, but you might find a better one - G means "good", but this term may be a bit euphemistic to reggae-vinyl-novices. Be realistic: a record graded G doesn't jump nor stick, but that's the best I can say about it...)

P (= just a collection-filler for the hard-edged + hardest-boiled collectors + selectors + all the rudegals out there - P stands for "poor", yunno...)
