FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
No. The album was first released in Jamaica in 1971 as The Best Of The Wailers on Beverley's. This record is an undated Belgian reissue on Surprise.

What does CO on the sleeve mean?
CO stands for cut-out: the sleeve has a small mark (clipped corner, hole or notch) that dealers used to flag remaindered stock. The record itself is not affected.

What does Media NM- / Cover VG+ mean?
Media (record): NM- (Near Mint minus) means the record is close to new with at most minimal signs of play. Sleeve: VG+ (Very Good Plus) means light wear. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.
