MY OWN SHELVES: AN INCREASINGLY HARD TO FIND AND RARE EARLY
SKA SINGLE IN EXCELLENT MINUS CONDITION. HUGELY RARE ORIGINAL SKA AND
NEVER SEEN ON EBAY.
FABULOUS SKA ORIGINAL from my own collection. Super SKA SINGLE from THE BLUESMASTERS '5 O' CLOCK WHISTLE' / 'AFRICAN BLOOD' was released on the UK ISLAND RECORDS label in 1963.
The SINGLE PLAYGRADES AT EXCELLENT MINUS (EX-) condition and RARELY COMES UP FOR SALE. ANOTHER OF THOSE FROM MY COLLECTION WHICH MAY NEVER BE FOUND AGAIN.
It has survived with MINOR surface scuffing (not greatly affecting sound). There is a hint of crackle in quieter passages/run in.
The LABELS are VERY GOOD PLUS and have NO Stickers or Tears however there is some minor ink on both sides and the centre has been removed for jukebox - I can supply an adaptor if needed (see pics for exact condition)
It is supplied in a new white sleeve and a poly sleeve for extra protection.
This record virtually never comes up for sale on Ebay.
