Description
It's always a problem grading these lovely old SKA records.
They went to lots of parties.
That means that they're a bit battered and that's why many have names written on the label.
HOWEVER... they're usually cut VERY LOUD and though they look a bit rough, they sound OK (especially if you press the "Mono" button).
This means that a 60's Ska goodie can be perfectly acceptable, even if it looks R.A.A.B.B. (Rough As A Bear's Bottom)..
Please bear that in mind when reading my descriptions.
Now look, now, you see, here's exactly what my disclaimer (see above) is really all about.
This is a splendid recording (as often happens with these early Ska/Reggae items, the B side is the best) and it plays very well.
It's Jezebel by Lloyd and Glenn, backed with Jam Session by Tommy McCook and the Supersonics. A nice hard-to-find 1967 single on Doctor Bird DB 1058
It has been stored in a box with a lot of other sleeveless wonders and is adorned with a fair number of small light marks, which (with yer "mono" button pressed) do not impinge negatively upon the ear'ole.
It looks like a good VG or maybe edging up towards a VG+ but it plays a darn sight better than it looks. It will fill the floor at any skinhead wedding, punky reggae party, wife-swapping extravaganza or Red-Stripe-Fuelled boogie night.
The very appropriately named "Dick" has written his name on the label, in shaky biro, twice. I don't know why. You'll have to ask Dick. There is a tiny label-tear on Jezebel. This is NOT the Frankie Lane number of the same name. Jam Session is a great track, and seems to be a Calypso tune done as a mid-tempo Ska.
I commend it to the house.
I am not a dealer.
I am just a very old bloke thinning out his lifetime collection of STUFF before the floor collapses (or I do).
I'm selling most of this stuff for much less
than I paid for it.
What a great business plan (I don't think)!
I am certainly NOT INTERESTED IN PROFIT..
..and indeed, seldom make any!
What little profit I do make goes to help
a very splendid Wildlife Rescue Charity.
The item in the photograph is the item you will get.
I have described everything to the best of my ability, and it looks in excellent condition to me.
Please check the photographs to decide for yourself.
NO OVERSEAS bidders please.
And NO OVERSEAS bidders using UK addresses please.
I am a simple sort, and I want my buyers to be happy. If there is any kind of problem, I like to sort it out personally. I can’t do this if you’re thousands of miles away!
