FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes. This compilation was released in Germany in 1978 on Island Records with catalogue number 200 393; this is the German original edition.

Is the running order on the sleeve correct?
Not entirely. The track order printed on the back cover differs from the labels and the record (Synthetic World and Wild World are placed differently). The tracklist above follows the record.

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

Do you have more Jimmy Cliff records?
Yes, for example Jimmy Cliff – Give Thankx and Jimmy Cliff – The Power And The Glory. More titles are in our Reggae, Ska & Dub collection.
