[Ed]

the seller himself bids with different accounts to get a higher price..

I used to buy a lot of reggae lps and singles on ebay but over the last year or two noticed the prices going up and up sky high in fact. i watch quite a lot of auctions and so far the highest price i have sen was for an original copy of "No Exit"by Augustus pablo on the Gussie Clarke label went for £800!

This list is missing Blackboard Jungle origianl which usually sells for about a grand.

Over the years I saw only 2 copies of Blackboard Jungle on ebay. Both were in bad condition, but still expensive. Never saw a real nice one.


This weekend a copy of Wailing Wailers went for 970 Dollars!!!
The seller claimed it to be a first press, but it was on the Studio One Rosette label, which should be a later pressing. It almost shocked me. Hopefully the buyer knows what he's doing.

First press is dark red studio 1 label with silver writing - I'll upload a picture when I get home this weekend.

Jordandance, I know this dark red label, and I regarded exactly this as the first press. Don't know if there are black/white labels, too, but the Rosette label can be no original. And for that the price is absolutely crazy.
