Description
It's always a problem grading these lovely old SKA records.
They went to lots of parties.
That means that they're a bit battered and that's why many have names written on the label.
HOWEVER... they're usually cut VERY LOUD and though they look a bit rough, they sound OK (especially if you press the "Mono" button).
This means that a 60's Ska goodie can be perfectly acceptable, even if it looks R.A.A.B.B. (Rough As A Bear's Bottom)..
Please “bear” that in mind when reading my descriptions.
Here we have “Rudie Bam Bam” and “Be Bop Boy” by The Clarendonians.
This 45rpm record, on the always-interesting “RIO” label was pressed in 1966 and the number is R112 A/B.
It’s a Coxsone Dodd Studio One production, and (unless I’m very much mistaken, and I often am) appeared on one of the legendary “Club Ska” LPs back in the days when I could put my socks on in less than ten minutes.
It’s a perfectly preserved disc in magnificent condition, and it plays amazingly well.
Using the “Record Collector” magazine’s yardstick, I reckon it’s an E or thereabouts, with a following wind.
You’ll never find a cleaner copy.
This one shines like the sleeve of a sniffly child, and is as clean as your house is when your mum comes to visit.
It actually almost looks “as new” but I know that record nerds frown on such sweeping statements, so I’ll just state that it really is remarkably germ-free and unsullied.
Bid now before the Artificial Intelligence bots take over and misery stalks the land.
I am not a dealer.
I am just a very old bloke thinning out his lifetime collection of STUFF before the floor collapses (or I do).
I'm selling most of this stuff for much less
than I paid for it.
What a great business plan (I don't think)!
I am certainly NOT INTERESTED IN PROFIT..
..and indeed, seldom make any!
What little profit I do make goes to help
a very splendid Wildlife Rescue Charity.
The item in the photograph is the item you will get.
I have described everything to the best of my ability, and it looks in excellent condition to me.
Please check the photographs to decide for yourself.
NO OVERSEAS bidders please.
And NO OVERSEAS bidders using UK addresses please.
I am a simple sort, and I want my buyers to be happy. If there is any kind of problem, I like to sort it out personally. I can’t do this if you’re thousands of miles away!
