********************************* An excellent pressing of Bob Marley and The Wailers 'best of' album issued in 1984 ; and without doubt this South African release  is as rare as hens teeth as it appears that this is the only known copy that has been made available on the open market.


The label here is a lighter shade of blue than other Island world-wide pressings and the category no. (BMWC 1) along with similar Matrix info in the run-offs confirm this is indeed the South African issue. If further evidence is required then the 'interpak' wording in lower right corner on the back cover is consistent with SA releases.

A fantastic find for collectors of Marley material.  

*********************************

CONDITION : see 8 photos above.  
Vinyl - played through completely both sides before grading : Glorious / shiny throughout / hardly a mark to be seen and appears barely played / no skips / no lead in-out hiss / a crisp and clean sound throughout / the odd and very faint touch of background noise but I am talking very minimal and hardly noticeable / a thick piece rated EX+ that is certain to please.
Labels : clean apart from a little rubbing at lower rim on Side 2 as per photo.
Sleeve : Presents magnificently. No writing, splits, creasing or ring-wear. No edge-wear of any consequence and handling / age-wear is very minimal as well. A top jacket. No poster accompanied this release.
