GRAAL RECORDS AUCTION (#140)

Dear collectors,

Our New Auction is now running.

Closing Date will be Monday 23rd June 2025 at 20h00 GMT.

We apply the 10% rule which allows you to win a record under the maximum offer :

if you are making a 150 euros offer on a record and that the offer below yours is of 100 euros, you will win the record for 100 euros + 10 % (10 euros),

so 110 euros instead of 150 euros, your maximum offer…. In case of two equal bids, the earliest offer sent will win the record…

24 hours before closing date, we will show on the auction page the current leading bids for each record (and not the highest offers) …

Send your offers by email. This is a serious auction, bid with confidence.

ALBUMS SECTION

-N° 6-

Jah LloydHerb DubTeem Records (FPF 7390)  

JAM 1975   cov : NC / rec : VG+  

Produced by Pat Francis

Often quoted to be – along with many others- one of the first dub LP’s…

First issued on DIP in the UK in 74 as Herbs of Dub,

issued in JA one year later as a Pre Release on Jah Lloyd’s own Teem label, as a blank or like here as a labelled print…

(the sticker used for the label -Black Love- is from a 1975 single)

Again in 1975, the album was officially printed on Micron, with the famous cover with Trevor Campbell’s artwork…

The ridims are famous, like Yabby’s conquering lion, like Upsetters ridim have some mercy or other strong ridims later used by Delano Tucker.

Maurice Wellington from the Morwells co-arranged two ridims on the album, especially that great dub version of come home to zion high,

all mixed by King Tubby…

General condition is VG+, some titles play better, some less… A rare piece of wax straight from the yard
