Rare Ska & Rocksteady Originals

[Pete S]

VIETNAM ALL STARS (aka PRINCE BUSTER ALL STARS) - THE TOUGHEST / ERROL DUNKLEY - LOVE ME FOREVER - RIO Mint! Absolute stunner, you'll never see a better copy. £150

JACKIE MITTOO - GOT MY BUGALOO - RIO EX very very light crackle on the intro but this is probably the best playing copy I've ever heard. Visually I'd say VG+ being very harsh but plays beautifully. £200

BABA BROOKS - SHANK I SHECK - RIO VG plays great with minor background crackle £25

PRINCE BUSTER ALL STARS - WE'RE IN LOVE - BLUE BEAT this is the mysterious version of BB 11 which does not play TRENTON SPENCE but in fact plays a more or less unknown Skatalites instrumental, and is from 1964 or 65. MINT MINUS £80

ROLAND ALPHONSO - ROLAND PLAYS PRINCE - BLUE BEAT VG+ but plays EX+ scorching Ska instrumental £30

ROLAND ALPHONSO & HIS GROUP - THE PRESIDENT - R & B actually a version of Georgie Fame's "Yeah Yeah" VG+ £25
