Additional Info: Up for auction is Bunny Wailer, "Rock 'N Groove" album
printed on the Solomonic label. As far as I know there are two
versions of this, one is UK/USA and the other Jamaican press.
The backs of the jackets are different on the bottom center,
telling where it was made. The Jamaica version is 3029/3030 and
the UK version 2798/2799, of which both sets of numbers are
stamped in the dead wax.
I feel the UK version is more desirable (and seems to be rarer)
because the vinyl was USA made and seems to be very high
quality, where I have heard the Jamaican vinyl is poor quality
for this particular release. Playing the record, the sound quality
is great, and the Solomonic label is especially impressive with the
eyes and intensity of the red and green colors.
If you are looking for this album, then don't let this one get
away, the sound quality and condition is all excellent. Finding a
copy like this these days is becoming harder and harder. Thanks
for bidding and Good Luck - No reserve!!!
