In 1971 in Jamaica, producer Lee Perry unleashed Bob Marley & the Wailers' stellar Soul Revolution album on his own Upsetter label, a follow-up to 1970's Soul Rebels, the first of their full-lengths to be overseen by Scratch. Perry promptly licensed the set, without the group's knowledge, to the U.K. Trojan label, who released it in 1973 under the title African Herbsman. The Brits, however, had no interest in the "dub" companion set, Soul Revolution, Pt. 2, which Perry also unleashed on Jamaicans in 1972. At least not then; in 1988, the label changed its tune, licensing it for release alongside a plumped-up bonus track reissue of African Herbsman. But it's not that set that is twinned here with Pt. 2, but the original Soul Revolution album, which is logical, but does mean that fans are losing the four bonus tracks that Herbsman offered up, but they do, however, get the instrumental "Memphis," which was omitted from the original set. And a further warning is in order: although Pt. 2 is oft-times referred to as a "dub set," that's merely for lack of a better term, for the pieces are not dubs at all, but the original Soul Revolution album with the vocals stripped off. Today, people expect more, but these bare "riddim tracks" are interesting in their own right, allowing the musicianship to shine and the structure of the arrangements to come into sharp focus. Soul Revolution was a stunning album, its companion set virtually unique, and as only small quantities were sold, a real rarity.

· CONDITION:

· THE RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a) WE GRADE THE VINYL AS STRONG VERY GOOD+(+) . CAUTION: The vinyl is NOT MINT or NEAR MINT, but is nevertheless in a very nice and clean condition. There are some surface marks and abrasions, mostly light and superficial, although some may be longer than 1.1/4 inches (1 inch = 2.5 centimeters)

(b) The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c) Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

· THE COVER

THE COVER IS ABOUT VERY GOOD+(+)

- A visible water stain (VISIBLE ON FRONT SIDE ONLY) affects about 20% of the front panel; there is no structural damage to the cover, and both cardboard base and paper slick are intact, however, the stain is visible

- Cover has a slight wavy (curly) warp across the front panel; this has absolutely no effect on the record.

- Cover has a partially split top seam (less than 1 inch / 2.5 centimeters)

- Cover has a partially split bottom seam (between 2 and 4 inches / 5 to 10 centimeters)

- Cover has two corners slightly worn / dinged (nothing significant)

- Cover has a few tiny wrinkles along the seams

- Visible shelf wear noted on the seams and the opening side
