Was hoping that not too many would be on this absolute early double side killer by Peter Tosh...
Saw 2 copies in my life...
Can't stand it no longer to play dis tune on my deck...
But the wicked get stronger on the bay!
Them haffi get a beaten...
Early version... by far my preferred... Wail N soul M.
But no, I was far from alone on it...

The wicked look like they have taken the word BLANK as a way of making more dosh than they would if the disc had a label.
On closer inspection you can see watermarks and other signs that these records are not original BLANKS at all - just bad nick 45's with the label soaked off.
Goldrush days for the sellers, the con of the non BLANK BLANK label is on the rise!!!

i never saw it with a label...so i think it was originaly white label,i saw 2 or 3 copy of it in the last years.I think that craigmoerer is a serious seller and he don't need to make this kind of things to make his records more expensive.

Can't say I've seen it with a label either but when it's BLANK it's usually a solid colour - like you say a white label, but not white and pink and brown and whatever else.
The other records posted in the link have been (deliberately?) made BLANK by someone. On one or two you can even see part of the original label!

i think that in the past , in Jamaica , was a common thing to made blank the labels due to soundsystem competition. Anyway these records have 40 years or more , everything happen to them and i think that jamaicans in the 70's didn't take care like us of the records...i think that can be normal that a white label became a bit pink or yellow...
i think it's up to Gilbert lol
