Selling my Ultra Rare 7" Single by Gadfrey Lewis ~ Let The Message Play / Pretty Little Brown Eyes ~ Creation Productions ~ CP1 ~ 1984. In excellent condition and plays very well, still warm with deep bass and smooth background sounds. Anyone who is into their Roots Reggae will know what I mean!! Actual graded condition etc is as above in the condition report and the photo's. Any more information required please just ask and I'll get back to you soonest. Following information lifted from Discogs:Original LP release is on a German label [Schall Records]. This single is a UK release - arranged by S. Francis whereas I believe the LP version was arranged by Gadfrey Lewis himself so may be slightly different. The info about the musicians is taken fom a posting on the Roots Archives forum... Drums: Carlton Ayton and Devon Richards Bass: Leebert Morrison and Willie Lindo Keys: Harold Butler & Robbie Lyn Guitar: Willie Lindo, Lenox Gordon and Leebert Morrison Percussion: Alvin hanghton & Noel Simms Horns: Eurald, Frank Aird, Dave Madden Tony Green and Mickey Hansen From my research on Discogs; e-Bay and Google this is very much a sought after rare recording which doesn't come up for sale very often. In fact the only one I could find is on Discogs at $300 + postage for a VG copy. Condition is all important and although I am no expert on grading, I have checked on Discogs Grading ~ they follow the "Goldmine Standard" ~ however this standard is seen by many to be a) ambiguous and B) somewhat abused ~ but I am trying to be as open and honest here, downgrading rather than upgrading. I suppose I could easily have put this as Near Mint as no blemishes or scratches or crackles etc on playing at all, but it is 34 years old and I do not have the history of its early years. Will be posted out 1st class signed for, well wrapped & protected and in a strong cardboard container & then a bubble envelope. Home collection is always offered to save post & packing costs. Anyone who wishes to "hear before buying", just get in touch to arrange a suitable time & date. Will also post worldwide BUT ONLY via e-Bays Global Shipping Programme - otherwise its just domestic UK. No returns on this item thanks - unless seriously not as described. Listed at a bargain starting price with no reserve and no buy it now set!! All reasonable offers will be considered, though not guaranteed to be accepted :). Sold as described and photographed. Any questions, please feel free to ask and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Please note: I am NOT a dealer, but a private seller who is just downsizing having retired this year and selling on some of the items I know longer wish to store or own and to raise "retirement" funds. Most of my items deserve to have a new owner & a home where they can continue to be looked after, enjoyed and saved for future generations. Please check out my other eclectic items we are parting with - something may tickle your fancy :). Thanks for looking, happy e-Baying and good luck if bidding :).
