Junior Murvin – Police & Thieves

Been after this for ages and today I finally found one for a reasonable price in a Bristol record shop. This sounds phenomenal on my set-up, bassy, clear, wonderful. A great pressing of a great album.

Great issues of a classic, and it surely ranks among the very best of this period in time (mid to late 1970s). Junior Murvin Sounds so incredibly relaxed even when touching the most serious topics. Musically it cannot be bettered as well. Serious Roots music produced in 1976 at the famous Black Ark.

My copy has the following matrix/runout:
Side A, stamped: MIAMI TAPE
Side A, etched: UD-US-NN [symbol] 3122-A
Side B, etched: MIAMI TAPE LEE PERRY - POLICE+THIEF-B

Very good quality original French Press of this Killer classic Black Ark's album !

Anyone can writte the Matrix Runout please to know if this a Total Sound Stamper... Many thanks

Deep bass... pretty clear sound (honestly most of lee perry production doesnt have clear sound)
Sound great!

just listened to the gold vinyl reissue to day, sounds really dub to me, lee scratch perry has his hands all over this even if it's a remix.
some classic stuff on here and its my fav of the genre so i;m happy it sounds better than half way decent

OK pressing - my copy had a white label promo style covering the original tri-color label. Same matrix as the white label Jamaican repress.

Can anyone comment on the sound quality? Well aware of 4mwb reputation and avoided them to date but saw a thread on the Steve Hoffman forum giving some rare credit to them for the blue version they brought out a few years ago. I know its not going to be a patch on an original but I might pull the trigger if they've somehow upped their game

What is the first edition of the two UK 1977 editions? I think this one, because of the missing label rim text. This could be rectified on the labels of https://www.discogs.com/release/609735-Junior-Murvin-Police-Thieves Any opinions?
