Edited one year ago
1976 Devon's song about obeah & voodoo recorded & produced at Scratch`s Black Ark in Washington Gardens. highly recommended & well worth finding is the extended `discomix` version with Dr Alimantado which can be found on a few of the Lee Perry Black Ark compilations
Good Repress, a very little background noise at the begining of A & B Side but Really short... Very good for me ! (mine is no off center but i have a "dinked" big hole, may be it's the solution ?) -
Edited 4 years agomy copy unfortunately plays with surface, some on vocal i could probably accept but very annoying on the dub side .... ask your seller about factual pressing quality to avoid frustration before ordering -
The A side on my copy seems to be pressed slightly "Oval" shaped? Not sure if I received a warped record (Was sold to me as "mint") or if this is a repress from an old wonky plate, It plays fine, but this shaping does give it a bit of an ebb & flow as the needle speeds around the shorter side of the "oval" and slows down over the longer side. I assume the cutting and pressing back in 76 may have left something to be desired and if this was pressed from the same plate as the original, it might explain this? no idea. B-Side plays fine.
