Rarities are especially records released in the 60s and early 70s because they were pressed in limited quantities for JA communities living in UK and USA.
JA music was very very underrated and misunderstood by music advertising business throughout the world in this time.
Many tunes only reach some thousands copies.
More over, in Jamaica, unsold vinyl was melted to make new hits.No stock left.
Valuable rarities, in terms of collectors, are those JA labelled records (in good condition)of that time.
The UK pressings seem to be more available(?) due to the powerful english abality to export all over the world.
Big money people only anyway!
