Comments: 
1977 First Press. Black Art Label. Original Lee Perry mix with etched run-out matrices: LP-4049-A / LP-4049-B on the A and B side respectively. 

A-side plays with a strong sound met with surface crackles which do not overpower. Occasional (mostly light) pops. A few scatterings of pops in the first half of A5. 

B-side plays with more crackles and pops most notable between the end of B1 and B2. Music itself still holds a nice strength.


Visual Grade: VG/VG-. Healthy sheen, respectable cleanliness. A few small feelable marks. Initials on labels, a few tears. 

No original sleeve. Ships with neatly labelled generic sleeve.
