Description

An original first pressing on Black Ark.


This is the jewel in the crown of any reggae collection. 


The record plays well throughout. There are some background crackles as you’d expect from a pressing of this vintage. There is a light scratch on Side B which is faintly audible on some of tracks 3 and 4.


I’ve tried to capture any surface marks in the photos and I can send a video if necessary. 


The sleeve is in good overall condition for the age.

It’s worn in places, there is some writing on it and the edges are tatty so I’ve graded as good only.


Condition is reflected in the price.


Please message me with any questions. 


Due to the value I will not post this overseas unless the buyer pays to insure and is prepared to take a shipping risk
