I am happy to combine postage, if you have any questions please contact me.

Tony Benjamin And The Sane Inmates, "African Rebel", this LP from former Reggae Regular member Tony Benjamin was one of the earliest full length releases from Ariwa, (ARILP 009), it came out in the early 1980s before Ariwa had taken off and just when the music was changing, hence it sank without trace and this was the only pressing, with perhaps just a few hundred pressed up. I bought my copy new when it was released and picked this spare copy up a few years later, but I've never found another one, a really hard to find LP.

The music on this album is a pretty even mix of Roots and Lovers, but it's quality throughout, produced by the Mad Professor the Dub versions are to be found on his "Dub Me Crazy" LP.

Visually the vinyl is excellent with just a few very feint scuffs on each side.

"Africa Is Zion" play excellently with just a hint of surface noise and a single tiny crackle for about 1 second.

"We Are His Children" plays excellently.

"Germ Warfare" plays excellently with minimal surface noise.

"Psychological Pen" plays excellently with minimal surface noise.

"Hotter The Battle" plays excellently with minimal surface noise.


















"Reasoning" plays excellently with minimal surface noise.

"Treasures In The World" plays excellently with minimal surface noise.

"Let Love Come In" plays excellently.

"Black Woman" plays excellently with minimal surface noise.

"That's Love" plays excellently.

The labels are excellent.

The sleeve has has staining and damage, please see the close up photos.
