Well that that's now possible on Iroko!!
@Mark and kalcidis
the madman has the repress:)
Simply one of the very best music ever to be put on vinyl thanks to the Barrett Brothers, equal only to Justin Hinds' 'Travel with Love' album.
Horace Andy in the light Dub on vinyl..classic...no2..Israel Vibration..Same Song Dub version on vinyl..had them both 30 years ago..sold them as part of a collection for a deposit on a house!!..have CD versions but the don't quite cut it!
Lost Shoe- are you looking for original pressings of those titles?I have Rhythm Shower from the Upsetter boxset which includes Africa's Blood and one other.I imagine an original press would be rare to say the least. Also the Clancy Eccles title is available on a Pressure Sounds vinyl released not long ago...
my own wants would include: Judgement by Knowledge
Beware and Ram A Dam by yabby You & Prophets, Babylon Fall by Junior Ross & Spears
Yes, I'm looking for the originals.
I also have Rhythm Shower in the Trojan box. The original press is possibly the rarest Reggae record of them all.
I heard of only 2 still existing copies. One is in England, the other one was sold to a Japanese collector for 5000 euros some time ago by a German collector.
Horrible!
Clancy Eccles and Randy's Dub are almost as rare, but not quite. Some of my list are somewhat mediocre in comparison, but still rare as hell.
Lost shoe-mad mad prices! i guess this thread is about our dream vinyls- at 5000 Eu i would be afraid to play it.
do you think these rich collectors ever play their records?
Extremely mad prices, yes. This is kind of an investment, and I guess they play it once or twice and lock it away.
While this is surely crazy I rather prefer people spending so much money on a record than wasting it for real stupid things.
After all I always like crazy people doing crazy things as long as they do no harm to others. Collecting vinyl diamonds is a peaceful madness.
