Description
SIMPLY PUT: ONE OF THE GREATEST 'ROOTS' REGGAE ALBUMS EVER & ALMOST NEVER SEEN IN THIS ORIGINAL JAMAICAN PRESSING FROM LEE PERRY'S 'BLACK ART' LABEL: THE CONGOS "HEART OF THE CONGOS" on BLACK ART; 1977. THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE ORIGINAL 1st PRESSING, FROM JAMAICA, PRODUCED BY LEE PERRY & NOT ONE OF THE MANY LATER U.K. REISSUES. THERE ARE 10 GREAT TRACKS, feat. ERNEST RANGLIN, SLY & MORE GREAT MUSICIANS LAYING DOWN SOME VERY "DEEP RIDDIMS" IN THIS ORIGINAL, UNPROCESSED J.A. COPY. THE ORIGINAL, THIN CARDBOARD COVER IS A CLEAN & CRISP MINT- COND. (with small price sticker peel-off marks at top left & top right corner areas). BEST NEWS OF ALL OF COURSE, IS THAT THE HEAVY VINYL PLATTER IS A VERY CLEAN & MINT- (UN-played looking) COND. (one of the CLEANEST J.A. LPs I've seen). A VERY FINE COPY OF THIS RARE 1st PRESSING OF ONE OF REGGAE'S MOST IMPORTANT ALBUM'S. (The interesting Jamaican 'variations' are: Bottom of Front cover scan shows: "The Congos" Cedric Myton & Roy Johnson, in green. Bottom of Back cover shows: 'Black Art' in red. Front cover Title of LP is: "Heart of the Congos" while on the actual Label, the Title is "Heart of the Congo Man" & while Label is named 'Black Art' - prod. by Lee Perry is named 'Black Ark' ! - "Seen, Mon!"
