  • Born May 24th 1938, Kingston, Jamaica. After following original selecter The Great Sebastian he was hired by Clement "Coxsone" Dodd to help on his Down Beat sound system, eventually helping Dodd identify the singles that Duke Reid was importing for his rival system and assisting production of his recordings. His very first recording session in 1960 produced "Oh Carolina", one of the all-time classics of Jamaican music, with vocals by the Folkes Brothers and added musical accompaniment from Count Ossie. Inventive and innovative for the times, the record still sounds every bit as exciting. Soon went on to establish his own own Voice Of The People sound system, record label and shop. 
    Buster produced countless records featuring either himself or virtually every top act of the time backed by the Prince Buster's All Stars, initially Buster's Group, defining from blues/shuffle origins a huge contribution to the ska era with classic after rousing classic, first on his Buster Wild Bells andPeople (2) labels, followed by Wildbells, Voice Of The People, Olive Blossom Records, Islam,Soulsville Center, Prince Buster and Prince Buster Records Shack labels, which were concurrently released in the UK on Blue Beat, Fab and his own name UK label, moving gradually into rocksteady and reggae and enjoying repeated success thanks also to the undying respect bestowed by generations of ska revivalists that saw him make a comeback virtually every decade during the ska revival craze of 1979-80 UK groups Madness, Specials, The, Beat, The, Selecter, The and Bad Manners all paid tribute.

  • I USE THE RECORD COLLECTORS GRADING SYSTEM:
    THIS RECORD IS VG and THE cover IS G.(NO SCRATCHES)


Mint (M) 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 marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. Excellent (EX) 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 (VG) 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 (G) Te record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc Fair (F) The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. Poor (P) The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing Bad (B) The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler CD’s and CASSETTES As a general rule CD’s and Cassettes either play perfectly – inwhich case they are in Mint condition – or they don’t, in which case their value is minimal. Cassette tape is liable to deteriorate with age, even if it remains unplayed, so care should be taken when buying old tapes. CD’s are difficult to grade visually; they can look perfect but actually be faulty, while in other cases they may appear damaged but still play perfectly. Cassette and CD inlays and booklets should be graded in the same way as record covers and sleeves. In general, the plastic containers for cassettes and CDs can easily be replaces if they are broken or scratched, but card covers and digipaks are subject to the same wear as record sleeves. ALL RECORDS WILL BE CAREFULLY PACKAGED WITH LOVE AND HARD CARDBOARD. 
I CAN
COMBINE POSTAGE AND WILL POST UP TO 5 LPS IN ONE PACKAGE. 

IF BUYING MORE THAN ONE ITEM PLEASE WAIT FOR ME TO
 INVOICE YOU BEFORE PAYING.
  I POST EVERYTHING SIGNED FOR 2ND CLASS.
International bidders:If you would like to combine postage you will need to
 bypass the eBay global shipping program. 


I WILL BE PUTTING UP AND SELLING LOTS MORE VINYL, CDs & CASSETTES SO 
PLEASE CHECK   BACK EVERY NOW AND THEN....... THANK YOU.
