Records im looking for..

[bullit]

A few tunes im looking for off hand:

**Please see my other thread**

[Version Control]

Is it only the original press versions you want James? I've bought several of your wants on good quality represses over the last couple of years (not just the few you've marked as already owning), and I'm sure some will still be available.

I also have a handful of the originals (though sadly no spare copies). So if you don't already have decent soundfiles of them I could at least burn those I have onto CD-R.

I have no soundclips of the wanted records VC, their all ones i checked out while going through records that were going on ebay or different sources but couldnt afford.
Any soundclips would be good and i'll stick you on the list of people to send a mix out to when its done. or promo of my reggae bands new album.
CD or MP3 (via internet) is good for me.

Im not bothered about if their original or repress, though quite a few of those havent been repressed, the ones i picked up in the found list have all been orig so far i think.

Mmh... yeah... I see a block of your list coming from my sales...

I can help you on most of them to have an idea of the price... But never have stock to sell. You can be lucky and find few of them cheaply, but you'll have to invest several thousands of $$$ if you really want to put the hand on most...

Some of them are absolute killers that everybody is after... And its nearly impossible to get them another way than ebay.

It will take time, but im getting through them as they come up, got many more years of buying to come. Just hope im lucky like i was with that Carlene Davis tune.

OK, I'll start you off with a few:

RANKING JOE - Tired Fe Live In The Ghetto
This is a recent Jah Warrior production and is available on 7" for £2.00 (+ VAT) from their own shop at

http://www.reggaemusicstore.co.uk

rms should also be able to fix you up with the Revolutionary Sounds 7" represses of these two, but at around double that price:
BARRINGTON LEVY - Whom Shall I Be Afraid Of
SAM BRAMWELL - It Ago Dread Inna Babylon

You'd be lucky to find the next two as originals
(Mighty) TRAVELLERS - South Africa
RAS IBUNA - Diverse Doctrine
but they are widely available on 7" repress, including direct from the label at £2.49 each here:

BLACK SURVIVORS-Come Away Jah Jah Jah Jah Children
Plenty of these around on repress; here's one at £2.99

LACKSLEY CASTELL - Babylon World
I probably got my repress from Ernie's, but this place is a bit closer to home (3.49 Euros)

You might find a few others on your list at the same stores.

I'll write separately about the ones I have that are still rare.

Me again already. Here are some more that were repressed on 7” a couple of years ago, but you may have to search around for them on vinyl:
ABYSSINIANS - Satta Don/Thunderstorm Part 2 (Clinch)
DENNIS BROWN - Armagideon/Version (Emmanuel)
DESI ROOTS – Warning/CARIBS – Version (Fe-Me-Time)
That last one was also recorded under his real name Desmond Young for Dennis Brown in 1978, and re-released as a UK 12” on DEB – available here for £4.95:

http://www.tantyrecordshop.com/shop/sho ... ct&pid=315

BARRY BIGGS (not Briggs!) – Work All Day
Here you need the 7” (Dynamic DYN 101) rather than the 12” (DYN 12-12) because only the former comes with a dub(!?!). Expect to pay £5-£10 from a dealer if you can’t find it for 50p in a bargain bin. Excellent tune though!

BARRINGTON LEVY - Youthman
If this is ‘Look Youthman’ then it has just been released in the first batch of the Greensleeves re-issue series (on the B-side of Mary Long Tongue) and is available everywhere.

WAILING SOULS – They Don’t Know Jah (c/w Sticky Stay)
Don’t go paying silly e-Bay prices now because it may find itself in the second batch of Greensleeves 12”s.

LEE PERRY – Blood Vapour
I have this on CD but check the specialist Scratch sites for a description. It’s bogus and not worth your money.

STINGERS-Give Me Power is on a couple of Lee Perry's CDS.

And, finally, these you won’t find on repress but I can CD-R for you:
BARRY BROWN – Physical Fitness/HEPTONES-Lovers Feeling 12”
WAILING SOULS – Bredda Gravalicious/Version (Massive 7”)
WAILING SOULS – Bredda Gravalicious/Old Broom (Taxi 12”)
BLACK ROOTS – Chanting For Freedom EP (12”)
