Symarip – Skinhead Moonstomp

Logically, this issue is part of the Trojan US series 'Classic Reggae Recordings' (2001-2003). (The logo of the series is located on the front, left hand side). If you have this edition, and could confirm, that would be appreciated.

my copy is almost totally smoke free. only a small stain on one edge

Mastered by Tim Debney who worked with Lee Perry in later years in the UK. This guy knows how to treat reggae music. The sound is wonderful and the extra CD is also full of great tunes. Comes with a insert full of information. Very recommendable.

I can't understand why fellow collectors complain about this pressing.
What i mean is that compared to other reissue labels, Sunspot put some effort on curing this one by:
1) printing a pretty decent quality cover
2) giving Michael De Koningh the duty to write an essay which is printed on the insert.
3) ressing this reissue in at Optimal Media GmbH (which should be itself a quality guarantee);
Sure, it sounds a bit flat but hey, 1970s reggae records weren't recorded with the best equipment and weren't (still) mixed with the highest standards available.

Blue label is the original 1980 pressing. Cover is mat with NO codebar.

Mine has the label, on the B side, with bubbles. It was not well sticked. The bass is a little louder but nothing to be scared of

Are all of these represses mono, because mine is

Not recommend, sound is poor , bass is very strange.
Better collect cash for 1st press
