****RARE ****Ethiopians, Jackie Mittoo – You'll Want To Come Back / Baby Why UK 1970 Bamboo BAM 388, Reggae
Side A Ethiopians – You'll Want To Come Back
Side B Jackie Mittoo – Baby Why (Instrumental)
The original(?) generic white paper sleeve is undamaged apart from some age-related handling and discolouration. Graded as VG+.
The vinyl without doubt grades as EX. It has clearly not been played to any great extent. The green Bamboo labels are clean - apart from '15' printed in what appears to be pencil on Side A and a rough area on Side B which may have originated during the manufacturing process. The latter is only apparent when viewed at a certain angle to the light. There are no clear spindle marks. There are no obvious scratches or marks that can be felt. On Side A there are two small hairlines at the beginning of the track. On Side B there is one short hairline at the beginning of the track. On play grading these hairlines were not detected. There was some minimal static or crackle on the run in and run out on both sides but nothing really substantial or out of the ordinary for a 53 year old single. There was an odd faint, light pop or click during the remainder of each side but certainly nothing which would spoil the enjoyment of the record when listening at high volume. It plays superbly with very strong audio and no loss of sound quality. The surface is very clean, glossy and shiny. If it were not for the writing on the label on Side A and the rough area on the Side B label this would be approaching archive EX+ to NM condition.
