Description
Here it is - At last - The BIG ONE - Riley All Stars Heavy Dub on Concrete Jungle Label 1976 CJDPLP 1076
This is One of only 300 pressed - The label states this was recorded at King Tubby's & Harry J's and I agree with another recent vendor of this fantastic and ultra rare album it really does sound like Tubby had a part in the mix of the sounds too

Description & Condition
Side One
Chalist Dub - No scratch or mark that I can see - Please request close up photo
Staga Dub - End of a light scratch from track 3 at about 4 O'clock - This does not affect play or sound quality, well certainly not on my Pioneer kit
Stepping Stone Dub - Light scratch through the track at about 4 O'clock - On my Pioneer kit this does not affect play or sound quality through Creatives
Swal Field Dub - No marks or scratches other than very tail end of above cutting on to seperation of tracks and first couple of grooves
Rasta Dub - Again, no scratches or marks that I can see so again, please request the very close up photos available
Side Two
Who Is The Dub - Appears to have a couple of small blemish marks on outer part of track at about 1 O'clock - This/these do not affect sound quality and would, I think, easily clean out. There is kind of 'loop' thing on the edge of the track, I honestly don't know what it is but it doesn't appear like a scratch and it's not audible No other marks or scratches that I can see and no, I am not blind, okay!
Red Gold and Green Dub - No marks or scratches or wear that I can see, honest!
Dread Dub - Very feint surface mark(s) at about 7 O'clock and again, this does not affect play or sound quality
Mistry Maker Dub - One 'spot' at 5 O'clock but it does not cause any stick or bounce on playing nor effect sound quality
Peace and Love Dub - No marks or scratches that I can see
Vinyl shines and is clean and shiny but would no doubt benefit from a go on one of those very expensive professional record cleaning machines which I reckon would move all of the above mention marks apart those I've identified as scratches - but please note, they are only light and surface scratches themselves
Condition Sleeve Front - Not applicable - This was released with only a paper or cardboard sleeve - This has plain white cardboard sleeve Condition Sleeve Reverse - Not applicable and same as above There never were any 'inserts' or lyric type sheets or such like

VALUATION
This record is listed as being worth £400.00 in MINT condition
That said, I will not be selling for less than £375.00 with a Buy It Now of £600.00
I have been ultra critical of condition and I think it really is better than my description sounds

Bought this for myself at the time I thought I was "would be 'cool (but vain) "hip" bloke' around town" 1970 to 1976 ish & Concert Promoter of Thursday Night Is Reggae Night at Sandpiper Nottingham
RETURNS
Yes of course I'd take the record back provided the buyer does not think he or she can try it on, as someone has recently tried - you know, like buying my disc regardless of price and then saying it is/was damaged to try and claim off me or return and off load thier own damaged copy as might (allegedly) have happened with an XTC single I sold and a Tradition album that someone says is 'rubbish' He just bought the wrong record for his taste, bit of an ar*e! But, none of this should be necessary, I have been over critical because of the value of the record and close up pictures will eradicate any confusion yes?
