A MEGA-RARE SINGLE ON A MEGA-RARE LABEL
CHILDREN GET READY

SOMEONE TO LOVE
by
THE VERSATILES
ON THE CRAB LABEL
CRAB 1
The first release on the iconic CRAB label, a label that existed for only three years (1968-1971) but became renowned for its classic reggae output.
Only 67 releases during that time - and this was the very first!
This example is, in my judgement, in very good condition (Record Collector grading). It has several fine lines but no sounding scratches and retains a good sheen.
Typically of the very early records released by this company the labels look hand cut.
The label on the B Side has been damaged by the removal of a sticker and someone has stamped the word 'CLYDE' on it in blue ink.
I've included a load of photos so you can see the condition of the disc and I have recorded it so that any bidder can judge for themselves how well it plays.
This is a rare disc that still sounds pretty fine.
When the sound files have uploaded have a listen and then wonder how long it might be before another one comes along that sounds as good.
