VARIOUS REGGAE: Reggae Flight 404 (Trojan, Y8 TB 115, 1972, 8-track)
Includes tracks by the Maytones, Laxton & Oliver, G.G. All Stars, Lloyd & Robin, and Monty Morris. The first Trojan/B&C group cassettes and cartridges were issued in 1972, so I'm guessing that is what year this was issued (the LP was issued in 1970).
This looks to be in working order as far as I can see (but see 'warning' below). See the photos for condition.
Please note that this is sold as seen - I have not had a working 8-track player for 12 years so cannot test this! Because of the age and nature of these items, please bear in mind that it may not play properly. I'm putting these 8-tracks out at what I consider fair prices simply as *things* - items for the collection. If it plays, then consider it a bonus! In other words, no complaints accepted if it does not play!

Records generally have light marks from going in and out of sleeves - these are not mentioned unless they cause audible noise. All records are play tested unless explicitly stated otherwise. Please look at the photos carefully for condition of sleeves/labels.
All items won, up to a value of £50.00, will be sent as Royal Mail 'signed for'. If items are bid above £50.00 (or multiple items won come to more than £50), they will be sent as Royal Mail Special Delivery, so that parcels are correctly insured against loss or damage in transit. If you win multiple items, please wait for me to invoice with correct postage. Note that the postage costs stated include packaging costs. Where possible, packaging will be recycled but sturdy/secure.
The more you buy, the more you save on postage - e.g., winning up to 6 single LPs the postage cost will be the same as for winning one single LP. Note that if you win items in multiple formats, (e.g., an LP and a CD), these have to be sent as multiple parcels (though I can bundle up 7" records with an LP).
If you are still bidding on other items, please contact me to let me know.

Conditions tend to be subjective, and with vinyl I won't use 'Mint' for new, still sealed, un-played records - all records come fresh from the pressing plant with some minor imperfection to sleeve, record, inner, etc. I start with Excellent for the most part. The majority of LP sleeves from played but well looked after records tend to be what I would call Very Good (which should mean exactly what it says, 'very good'). Judging by most items bought on eBay over the last few years would tend to suggest that my "Very Good" (and, often, my "Good") equates to many sellers' "Excellent".
With tapes and CDs, I don't generally state condition of standard jewel cases because these can be easily replaced - look closely at the photos! Tapes and CDs either play or they don't, so the media will be described as Mint if the former, though with mention of any wear to CD surface/tape casing.
Unless stated otherwise, all items on offer are from my own collection. Most has been in storage for the last fifteen years or so. Lockdowns caused me to revisit. Why do I have multiple copies of records that I will never listen to again (except to grade them for sale). There are about 15,000 more items to come from my rambling progressive rock, jazz fusion, folk, folk-rock, blues, 1950s stereo classical and easy listening, psychedelic, reggae, ambient, spoken word, comedy, Victoriana, railway, field recordings, electronic and occasionally just plain 'out there' collection.
