Description A MESSAGE TO OUR CUSTOMERS: We want you to be happy with your tradings with us, we try our best to make this happen but we are also a busy shop and cannot attend to eBay during the day. Please bear that in mind when leaving your marks. If you have ANY problems, please come to talk to us FIRST as we are here to help you. This week: ...Oneof the best roots albums of all time, and a heap of great 12s and 7s... Congos - Heart Of The Congos (Original Mix) Vinyl 12" LP Jamaica 1977 Black Art LP 4049 LP-4049-A / LP-4049-B Vinyl VG++ light surface marks - plays great Labels EX clean Sleeve etc VG+ as per usual there is a little surface wear to the print and a little edge bending and so forth but it's pretty clean, a small amount of pen writing on the rear check the scans click on the images to enlarge! scans are always of the actual item for sale! Click on the link to hear a sample taken from this item. Original JA pressing. Most deep roots of all time from Jamaica's best vocal group ever. This is the daddy of all spiritual roots albums and it's also the ORIGINAL mix. For those that do not know this album only ever appeared in this original mix for the first few hundred pressed in Jamaica. ANY other version you see will be a version of the subsequent more complicated mix that Perry put out later. We feel this one is a more down-to-earth version. The biggest difference is the lack of several 'special effects' in the mix, it's sparse and a lot more 'crisp' in effect. Check the sample. The sleeve: Most copies of this album came with the blue stripes on the front painted over (possibly by Perry himself) with yellow paint 'cos he didn't like the colour of Babylon! We don't know if that makes this copy more valuable or not? We do know it's hard to find a copy of the vinyl in this clean condition!

We reserve the right to remove bids from buyers with low feedback. Get in touch if you need to! PAYMENT: Payment is by Paypal only! (eBay users without Paypal cannot bid on our items). However you may also come to the Camden Town shop in person. Please ALWAYS wait for your invoice, especially if you have won multiple items because we may need to calculate the shipping. Payment must be completed within 7 days of end of auction (or items may be re-listed). Please contact us before bidding if you cannot do this. (we can make special arrangements as long as we know what you want!) Refunds: We will glady refund where we have made a mistake in the listing such as: Wrong item, item not as described, etc. We do not automatically refund for accidental damage or loss in transit. Feedback: We can only leave positive feedback (or none) but we think good buyers should receive good feedback. In return we try to provide the best service and we ask that you leave positive feedback for us if you are happy with our service. Remember it's still voluntary! Star Ratings: This is more than just an add-on, it's a method to enforce sellers to trade to eBay standards. Buyers can give sellers marks for 'item as described', 'shipping time', 'shipping cost' and 'communication'. VERY IMPORTANT Sellers are required to maintain an average of over 4.5 stars for each category. This means that anything less than a 5 star rating actually counts against the seller (though you may not have meant it to). This is not made clear to buyers so that's why we're telling you now. Shipping cost: Our prices are clearly marked on the table above and you should not have any complaint about that after the sale. Item As Described: We try our best to make our descriptions accurate but mistakes can happen. We GUARANTEE our items, so if you have any problem we will refund you. Shipping time: We try to ship on the next available posting day but we are a busy shop and this can't always happen. We will let you know if there is any significant delay. Please take into consideration any public holidays, etc. Communication: We try to respond immediately but we are a busy shop. The eBay part of our business is conducted OUTSIDE shop hours therefore some communication may be delayed. Please take this into consideration when asking a question or when leaving a rating. Problems: We would consider it rude if you go straight to eBay or Paypal before contacting us. Remember eBay are not selling you this item; WE ARE! Any refunds or claims for damage will have to come from our pockets. If for ANY reason you are unhappy with our service, or if anything goes wrong, please contact us first and we will try to solve the problem together. We're here to help you. We want to keep you happy so please contact us with any questions at any time. Thanks to all our customers! We love you. But eBay? There are still some scammers out there.. when will eBay let us have the ability to block new buyers who spoil it for the rest?
