Rico an his Blue Boys c/w Prince Buster & The Blue Beats
Soul Of Africa / Wash All Your Troubles Away
Blue Beat : BB 200 (45s)
Written by Rico himself, this Jazzy fluid groove exudes the feelgood pleasure of Jamaican SKA gives you.
Rhythmically addictive, uplifting, charged with everything that is good about that bygone era. Capturing those Jamaican musicians able to picture a picture, whisking you off of far away places; just my the manipulation of their given instruments. Both Rico Rodriquez and Prince Buster were masters of that illusion.
Two great sides, a hard disc to secure in clean condition.
Condition Report
Both solid center labels are clean, a-side vinyl has a few light hairlines. as you can hear nothing that affects play, listen to two crisp clean soundfiles. the flipside vinyl reveals only one or two hairkines and sits at 1/2 a grade better and excellent
Maytals with Bryon Lee & The Dragonaires
Bam Bam / So Mad In love
Doctor Bird: DB 1038 (45s)
Here is the winner of that even pressed onto a BMN records then released on Britian's icon Reggae imprint, Doctor Bird.
A 45 that is hard to acquire with clean labels, die cut center intact, and perfectly acceptable playing condition. Uncommon indeed
This is the cleanest copy we have encountered in memory.
Do not pass by, nice copies of DB 1038 are few ad far between
Condition Report
Two flawless labels, 4 prong center intact, vinyl reveals on the finest of occasional hairlinesa. As you can hear it plays crisp, loud and clean. Flipside has a few more tiny marks, hardly affecting play. A very nice copy
Principal Edwards
Captain Lifeboy / Nothing
Deram : DM 391 DJ (45s)
Principal members Richard Jones, Nick Pallett, Geoff Nicholls regrouped pulling in fresh blood; Shortening the band name (fabled to have derived from a Exeter University employee). The new teams first 45 for Deram was this weird and truly wonderful slab of Folk/Psyche/Prog Rock under the guidance of Nick Tauber recently engaged in many fine Thin Lizzy sessions.
Nick mentors a rich array of vocals, superior Spanish guitar picking, a wealth of percussion, heavy drumming & tambourines, with Jethro Tull inspired tin-whistle interludes. It all works so very well. Crafting a top-drawer example of early 70's Progressive Rock.
Flip is over another worthy fusion of Folk/Prog awaits
Condition Report
Both sides have flawless vinyl, labels have Radio Station notes on them (see scans ) all house in birth sleeve
Michael Rose
Observe Life / version
Carib Gems : C.G.002 (45s)
Just before this highly gifted artist joined Back Uhuru as lead singer he recorded this fluid dub gem in 1977.
An uplifting ditty showcases Rose's light but highly effective style woven into a simplistic arrangement.
Flip it over for a beefed-up Dub version enhanced by the heavy bass of Lloyd Parks, allowing Micheal Rose's sweet vocal to return at all the right times.
Hard to find, especially at this level of near perfectness.
Condition Report
two flawless labels, superb mint minus vinyl

The fragile texted gatefold cover is also in exceptional condition, only very mild corner-tip storage rub (see scans) reveals it's age. Inside the gatefold cover is free of any flaws, except the expect =occasional ageing stain very light brown, sparse and certainly not distracting or devaluing in an way. (see images will shall provide later this week.
An iconic 47 year old in cherished almost unbeatable condition..
Just stunning!!
Condition Report
Spectacular vinyl, is totally unblemished, not sign of play other than the soundfile we have just lifted. A-side label has a solitary fine spindle trail from the centerhole. B-side label is perfect completely free of any spindle trail. media could hardly be finer, housed in original Harvest poly-lined inner.
Children Of The Night
World Of Tears / Don't Cry Little Girl
Bella : 101 (45s)
Or should we say "Barn" Punk, as this fabled 45 was recorded in a barn outskirts of Old Saybrook, Connecticut.
The only 45 this New England gathering released as "Children Of The Night" written by the mysterious, undocumented Kenny Adelman produced by Johnny Di Bella. A wicked, gritty session saturated in despairing lyrics at the state of the world ( some thing never change) but still finding enough happenings in their personal life to take their mind of it.
Least of all the exceptional guitar playing on this session, would be the perfect distraction. A grim lead vocal outlook is enriched by more than standout guitar solo and driven by unforgiving drumming. Which elevates this 45 into the very sought after territory, of attitude drenched D.I.Y. 60's garage.
Today heralded as a stunning piece of 60's garage Punk. Becoming wider known, when in 1986 it was a chosen track on the "Psychedelic Disaster Whirl" album of which their was only 400 pressed, with the reissue LP now commanding highly collectable status.
Here is the rarely witness 45 from that 1967 "Barn" session.. do not pass by.
Condition Report
This copy was sent to a local radio station. THIS SIDE written on the leading label (see scan). Doesn't seem to have attracted plays by the Station, as this copy has flawless vinyl, that only reveal sleeve contact blemishes under stronng light.
Jerry Saylor
What A Friend / (Do The) U.T.
Spin It: 101 DJ (45s)
Teen doesn't come much obscurer than this Decatur, Alabama 45. Stunning label art, a provenance promo sticker with the SPIN IT RECORDS, 1121 6th Avenue, South Decatur, Alabama. (I just adore these little "extras" a vintage label can present you with. Inspired logo-art, and two great sides, we lead with the side I personally like the best..
But you can't ignore the R&B/Tittyshaker on the flip. A raucous rocker written by Jerry Saylor himself provoking screams and shouts from within the studio musicians and Jerry whips up a wild atmosphere. Suddenly a scything saxophone goes off on one, the pianist morphs into Jerry Lee Lewis and the whole session rocks, until a classy exit is mad, led by the Sax-Man.
Two very strong sides, one very rare 45.
But I do simply delight-in the dreamy a-side.
Condition Report
Two spectacular labels, one with a unique promo sticker (see scans) vinyl reveals some light hairlines, none of wehich affect play. Check out the two clean soundfiles lifted from this 45.
