Description

  • Two super rare Bob Marley Studio One Records originals here, The Wailing Wailers and The Best Of. These were purchased from Daddy Kool Records in London in the very early 1980's and have been in my collection ever since. The records themselves are not the best of pressings, as Studio One Records at the time recycled its vinyl something fierce, so you'll need a good strong tone arm on your deck to play these things. The sleeves are unusual in that they have a waxy finish to them and are very primitively printed indeed, barely legible sleeve note on the back of one. The Wailing Wailers' tracks are; Side One: Put It On / I Need You / Lonesome Feeling / What's New Pussycat (the Tom Jones one) / One Love / When the Well Runs Dry. Side Two has; Ten Commandments of Love / Rude Boy / It Hurts to be Alone / Love or Affection / I'm Still Waiting / Simmer Down. The record has been cared for extra well but is a typical Studio One pressing of its day. The sleeve has sellotape across the top seam from where I repaired it when I knew no better as a young scamp. Otherwise it's a fantastic original artifact I'm sure you'll agree. The Best Of Bob Marley and the Wailers features on Side One: I Am Going Home / Bend Down Low / Mr. Talkative / Ruddie / Cry to Me / Wings of a Dove. Side Two has; Small Axe / Love Won't Be Mine / Dancing Shoes / Sunday Morning / He Who Feels It Knows It / Straight and Narrow Way. The record has again been well cared for but is a poor pressing, and yet plays fine with a heavier tone arm. Both records are first rate examples of The Wailers at their sixties ska finest. Any questions don't hesitate to ask. Buyer pays actual shipping and personal checks must clear. I accept PayPal but through a registered bank account only. NO CREDIT CARDS PLEASE!! Thanks. Best of luck to all.

Both records contain FCD in the matrix groove numbers, and I have it on good authority that this makes them original first pressings, and not reissues.
