ISLAND

 

SLIM SMITH - I'VE GOT YOUR NUMBER / THE NEW BOSS 
visually VG+ both sides play absolutely FANTASTIC £50

STRANGER COLE - STRANGER AT THE DOOR / CONQUERER
visually EX but quite a lot of pops and ticks so only VG for the A side, B side is better but still has some pops and ticks and the label is a little faded. £15

THEO BECKFORD - BULLO MAN / DAPHNE
Visually VG Bullo Man plays a strong EX, as does the B side but with a small amount of crackle £15

THEO BECKFORD - BAJAN GIRL / WHAT A WOE
Visually EX and both sides play EX except for one or two very minor background pops £20

THE TWO KINGS - HIT YOU LET YOU FEEL IT / HONEY I LOVE YOU
Visually VG. A side strong VG++ play wise a little background noise but drowned out by the music. Ballad on B side has more notiecable crackles. £15

THE VIRTUES - YOUR WIFE AND YOUR MOTHER / AMEN 
Visually VG+. Both sides play EX. Sticker mark to A side label but B side label spotless. £25

THE WAILERS - HE WHO FEELS IT KNOWS IT / SUNDAY MORNING
Visually GOOD loads of marks. Plays with crackle and pop but still acceptable, improves as it continues, very little crackle towards the end. The ballad on side B is very noisy and I'd grade it as POOR but it doesn't jump or stick. £25

KENTRICK PATRICK - I'M SORRY / TAKE ME TO THE PARTY
A pretty obscure but brilliant Ska tune, visually VG++ and both sides play EX with a couple of pops here and there. £25

THE MAYTALS (as THE VIKINGS) - FEVER / CHEER UP
Visually MINT minus and both sides play MINT, a top copy £25
