FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes. The LP was released in the UK in 1982 on Midnight Rock with catalogue number MRLP 001, and this is that edition.

Is MRLP 001 the first Midnight Rock release?
No. Despite the number 001, Midnight Rock had already released singles and, in 1981, Jah Thomas' LP “Tribute To Reggae King Bob N. Marley” (MRLP 1955). MRLP 001 and MRLP 002 (Anthony Johnson – Gun Shot) started a new number series.

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, here with light shelf wear. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.
