Description
As a general rule, when people discuss or think about reggae, their first thought is almost invariably “Bob Marley”. There’s a valid reason for that. There is perhaps no more recognized name in a genre that Marley with reggae. And even beyond his incredible songwriting and musicianship, he was and continues to be one of the most loved and respected musicians, regardless of musical genre, of all time. He will forever be remembered as the performer who preached love and peace and respect for others through his music as well as the way he lived his life. This incredible album was the band’s fifth album and still features the original Wailers, with Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer. It’s a beautiful album with seven of the nine tracks written by Marley and the other two by Tosh. It’s one of the band’s most successful and truly a historic work. The album was released on Island in 1973, number SW 9329. This is the original pressing of the album with the Zippo lighter design. The hinge for lighter design is separated so the cover comes in two pieces. The flame portion of the lighter is intact and in exceptional condition. The vinyl is in beautiful condition with its bright original luster and just a couple of very light surface scratches and scuffs that barely impact play. It plays with just very light sporadic background noise. The vinyl grades VG+. The album cover shows ring wear and corner and edge wear. All seams are show wear but are sharp, tight, and intact. The cover grades VG.

Concrete Jungle
Slave Driver

Grading Information
I always clean and then listen to every record I list on eBay. I do this to make sure I can give as accurate a description of each record as possible. I will do both a visual check and an audio check. I absolutely attempt to give as objective a grading as I can. I don’t ever want you to be disappointed in the quality of the album you receive. My promise is that I will never put up for auction any album that I would not be proud to play for others on my own turntable.I only use four grades in my grading: NM, VG+, VG, and G. The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition. My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve. The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or more small defects. It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static. On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album. Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading. Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there. That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen. In this case the vinyl will be graded VG. Very occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy.
Shipping Information – Combined Shipping
Shipping is $4.00 in the continental U.S. I happily combine records from multiple auctions to reduce total shipping cost. In fact, I welcome it! The $4.00 cost for U.S. shipping applies regardless of the number of auctions won in any 5-day period.Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates. Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings. Canada shipping rates have gone up dramatically. The first album will be shipped for $16. Additional albums will be shipped for $4 per album, with up to five albums able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping. At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost.
The Canada cost determination also applies for all other International shipping, except that the first album is shipped for $21 and each subsequent is just an additional $5.00.
All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening. The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve. I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments. If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day. Payment by Paypal is preferred.
Thank you for looking and please contact me with any questions.
