Description
FROM MY OWN SHELVES: AN INCREASINGLY HARD TO FIND AND RARE SKA SINGLE IN VERY GOOD PLUS CONDITION. HUGELY RARE ORIGINAL SKA.
THIS UK PRESSING IS RARELY SEEN ON EBAY AS ITS USUALLY THE POORER QUALITY Ja PRESSINGS.
FABULOUS SKA ORIGINAL from my own collection. Super SKA SINGLE from BLUES BUSTERS 'WINGS OF A DOVE' / BYRON LEE & THE DRAGONAIRES 'DAN IS THE MAN' was released on the UK ISLAND RECORDS label in 1965.
AS IF THIS SINGLE WASNT HARD ENOUGH TO FIND THIS IS THE UBER RARE 1ST PRESS THREE PRONG PUSH OUT CENTRE VERSION WITH INTACT CENTRE. THIS IS MUCH HARDER TO FIND THAN THE SOLID CENTRE VERSION.
It has survived with LIGHTWEIGHT BUT NOTICABLE surface scuffing (pic 4) (not greatly affecting sound). There is some crackle in quieter passages/run in.
The LABELS are VERY GOOD and have NO Writing, Stickers or Tears however there are some minor marks on both sides (see pics for exact condition)
The SINGLE ('A' SIDE) PLAYGRADES IN VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) condition. 'B' SIDE is more like VG/-
It is supplied in a plain white sleeve and a poly sleeve for extra protection.
This record rarely comes up for sale on Ebay. I grade strictly to the Rare Record Grading System and include a definition of grading below:
Rare Record Collector Grading: VG+ (VERY GOOD PLUS)
Very Good Plus:
The record has obviously been played many times, but apart from occasional background noise displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite some surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is perfectly acceptable
I will ONLY SEND this 'SIGNED FOR'.
I offer a no quibble returns on my vinyl (buyer pays return postage).
Please contact me if any issues asap.
I always offer combined postage. Please ask before paying for more than one singleprice rating
