Please also note - that this week I will have LOADS of 45s & LPs all ending Sunday May 5th.  Of course, I will have my usual listings of Prog/Psych/Jazz/Blues LPs ending this day, but also some EXCEPTIONALLY rare Reggae/Ska & Northern Soul 45s aswell!   So an absolutely INCREDIBLE set of listings (LPs and 45s!) will all appear during the week - all ending Sunday May 5th!

SECONDLY:- For the all 45s my description will look different, as with 45s especially there is FAR less to describe and it does not warrant the descriptions that my LPs get.  This is just one 45 from this collection, so good luck if you decide to bid - and please take a look at this AMAZING item below:-


RARITY:-   Super rare Roots / Dub Reggae 45.  Made even rarer still as it was NEVER released in the UK and as far as I know, was a Jamaican ONLY release!  Only a few hundred copies ever made, and EXTREMELY tough to locate!

COUNTRY:-  JAMAICA

MONO/STEREO:-  ?  Does not say....

PRESSING:-   1ST PRESSING

ARTIST:-  PRINCE FAR I

TITLE:-  SPECIAL REQUEST TO PRINCE FAR I / THE PRINCE LOVE CALL

CAT NUMBER:-  NONE (matrixes 4343 A/B)

LABEL:-  CRY TUFF

DATE:-  1978

SIGNS OF PLAY:-  CANNOT TELL

LABELS:-   AS PICTURED (SEE PICTURE)

RECORD GRADING:-   The record is in GREAT condition and still VERY bright & shiny looking indeed!  It has NO scratches, only 2 or 3 VERY light hairlines, only 3 or 4 light scufflines (NON sounding!), and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!  And apart from anything that was present on this 45 from manufacture - the record plays with NO pops, NO groovewear, NO jumps, NO sticks, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!  The record must grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - and is still a very VERY decent record indeed! 

SLEEVE:-  Card Sleeve.  I am fairly certain that this 45 did not have a company sleeve when released - but if it did, it doesnt now.

OTHER DETAILS:-  A WORD ABOUT JAMAICAN PRESSINGS:-  Jamaican vinyl pressings were generally fairly good.  However, they usually used old and outdated pressing machines, and so they often look crude and rudementary - which is exactly as manufactured.  There may also be the odd click / pop for no reason on Jamaican pressings (again, as manufactured) or a few pressing dimples (again - as manufactured!).  These should obviously not be included in the grading - as so few copies were made, that if one copy has it - then generally they all willl.  That said, most Jamaican 45s I am listing here have NONE of those issues and play SUPERBLY!

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items (I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!) - PLEASE REMEMBER to contact with me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy!  Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again - Graham @ XXXRecords.

PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt.   MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):-  Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little.  Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002.  However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever.  However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out.  Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself.  On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!).  I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs!  And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference.  THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER!  No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged.  Any questions - please ask!
