The Wailers Catch A Fire
1973 UK PRESS WITH NEAR MINT AUDIO !!!!
THIS WAS A VERY BIG DECISION TO PUT UP FOR AUCTION, AS IT IS A VERY RARE 1973 UK PRESS WITH ZIPPO LIGHTER COVER AND ORIGINAL INNER AS WELL !!!!    THIS IS THE WAILERS, AND THEIR 5th ALBUM RELEASED ON APRIL 13th 1973. FROM JAMAICA AND WITH BOB MARLEY THEY MADE SOME WONDERFUL ALBUMS, AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM, AND WILL BE A VERY SAD LOSS FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!
AS MENTIONED THIS WAS RELEASED IN 1973, AND HAD A FEW DIFFERENT LABEL CREDIT VARIATIONS. THE VERY 1ST PRESS COVER HAS THE 'BASLING ADDRESS' BELOW THE ISLAND LOGO ON THE BACK, BOTTOM EDGE IN THE MIDDLE. ISLAND RECORDS MOVED SOON AFTER ALSO IN 1973, TO 22 St PETERS SQUARE, SO THE REMAINING PRESSED COVERS DID NOT HAVE ANY ADDRESS UNDER THE ISLAND LOGO !
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL  1973  UK  PRESS  ::  A-3U  'STERLING'  ::  B-4U  'STERLING' .
HAS 'BML 2001 A-3U', AND, 'BML 2001 B-4U', STRUCK OFF WITH A LINE THROUGH THE MIDDLE, ALSO IN THE RUN OFFS !!!!
MOTHERS AND STAMPERS  ::  1  M  ::  1  M .
ON THE PINK RIMMED ISLAND LABEL :: ILPS 9241 .

COVER :: ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS, GIMMICK ZIPPO LIGHTER COVER, WITH, 'ISLAND RECORDS Ltd, BASING STREET LONDON W.11' UNDER THE ISLAND LOGO ON THE BACK IN THE MIDDLE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, WHICH WAS ONLY ON THE EARLIEST COVERS, AS LATER COVERS HAD NO ADDRESS. SOLID SPINE AND EDGES, WITH SOME BITS OF LIGHT RUB, AND A RUB ON THE ROUNDED CORNERS. ALTHOUGH THE ORIGINAL EYELET FOR THE HINDGED TOP IS STILL ATTACHED, THE TOP HALF HAS COME AWAY. THIS IS A VERY CLEAN COVER AND A SHAME THE TOP HAS COME AWAY, BUT COULD BE REPAIRED ?? THERE IS NOTHING ELSE, AND DUE TO THE TOP HAS COME AWAY, I WOULD GRADE :: VG+ .  

VINYL :: THE AUDIO PLAYS SUPERB, CRYSTAL CLEAR, AND IS A REAL PLEASURE TO LISTEN TO, WITH NOTHING ON THE AUDIO, SO A RARE ALBUM TO FIND, AND NEAR IMPOSSIBLE WITH AUDIO LIKE THIS ONE HAS !!!!

VISUALLY AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS BEAUTIFUL WITH A LOVELY SHINE, AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, STILL LOOKS BEAUTIFUL, SO WITH SUPERB PLAY BACK, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO A VERY WELL DESERVED :: NEAR MINT .   

LABELS ::  AS MENTIONED THERE ARE A FEW VARIATIONS ON THESE EARLY 1973 LABELS, SO PLEASE LOOK AT THE PHOTOS, THANK YOU !!!! AGAIN BEAUTIFUL CONDTION :: EX+ .  

ORIGINAL BLACK INNER ::  NO WRITING, OR SPLITS, NICE AND CLEAN, AND THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW BLACK POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL DESCRIBED ABOVE :: EX/EX- .  

WHAT AN ALBUM, AND VERY RARE WITH EARLIEST ZIPPO COVER, AND TO FIND ONE WITH BETTER AUDIO THAN THIS ONE, WILL BE NEAR IMPOSSIBLE !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!!! ROSE.
