Re-listed due to " fraudulent bidder " who is now barred from my auctions.

 This is an ORIGINAL Mono pressing of the lp "  This Is Jamaica Ska " on the RND Record label. The matrix codes are  "CDODD-001-1" and "CDODD-001-2" for sides A and B, respectively, and the disc is pressed on heavyweight vinyl. Artists appearing on the disc are as follows : The Wailers, The Ska-Talites, Jackie Opel, Andy & Joey, Roland Alphonso, Don Drummond, and Jackie & Doreen. 

The front and rear graphics all appear to be free of wear, but , I have graded the cover as in GOOD condition, because of the following repair : The top and bottom seams were completely split, and have been re-seamed / hinged internally with an archival ( acid-free ) tape, making for a permanent repair.  Front and rear graphics show very little wear. The disc is in VERY GOOD condition , with several marks apparent. These original pressings are " Deep Groove " discs, and sound terrible if played with a " lightweight " stereo cartridge set-up. I have played the disc in MONO using a Pickering DJ 625 cartridge tracking at 2 grams, and there are some clicks, but none of the " notoriously noisy pressing " issues cited by some sellers, and said to be evident on the re-issues. That stated, I would advise those without a switchable ( stereo/mono ) amp, or cartridge wired for Mono, to stop buying Vintage records.....
