johnnyhotspur 24th Jan 2025		Track B4...



Upsetter FC 21st Jan 2025		The Cry Me A River LP is my copy. Not sure where I got that, I probably found it at a record show. I posted all my early LPs here but with the later reissues I want to get info right before I post.



johnnyhotspur 20th Jan 2025		Brilliant, found my copy on that site, just as you described! I do have the 'Downbeat Special' booklet / discography that came out years ago but that only listed one of this Jackie Opel release. I also own his other LP, which I believe is an original copy. Got that from Andrew Neal in Nottingham many moons ago. That particular album is more in the Soul vein.



Upsetter FC 20th Jan 2025		There is a page for The Best Of Jackie Opel on Downbeat Special. Found it on the FB discussion page. I have to list my LP separately, it is a US press. The SOL pressing is Jamaica.



johnnyhotspur 20th Jan 2025		I used to get mine from 'Sound Clash' in Norwich, they specialise in Ska/Reggae (among other genres). Sometimes used to visit Soho in London, 'Dub Vendor' and another that I forgot about. I'll try and list some more that aren't on here in the coming weeks. Just to add: On this reissue, track B4 is actually 'Push Wood' not 'Sit Down Servant'



Upsetter FC 20th Jan 2025		I used to buy these reissues from King Bravo at ska shows in the 90s. Coxsone would give him a bunch of LPs to bring around to shows. I have about 100 or so reissues (JA and Trojan) that I need to list here. Any you add saves me some work even if I have to dig out my copy to compare notes...



johnnyhotspur 19th Jan 2025		Thank you, that's good to know. So the date added needs to be deleted. To be honest, I only added that date because that's when I bought it.



Upsetter FC 19th Jan 2025		SOL matrix numbers are early 80s. Your sleeve dates to after 1984 when the 718 area code was first used. My copy is probably an early 90s with an old warehouse sleeve. Your copy was pressed in the 80s with a newly printed sleeve.



johnnyhotspur 19th Jan 2025		Matrix on mine just reads: SOLP 9020 - A-RE SOLP 902 - B



Upsetter FC 17th Jan 2025		Unfortunately, Downbeat Special hasn't done this LP yet. What is the matrix on your vinyl? That will date it better. My copy is a K. K. Mastering pressing, which was done in Miami. And that makes it a late 80's or early 90s US pressing. My copy also has the labels reversed. Also my back cover is the same as the one posted except it is lacking a NY address, which tells me they reprinted the cover at some point to include Fulton St.



johnnyhotspur 17th Jan 2025		Just added. Repress / reissue. Note: side 1 label has a JA address, side 2 has a NY address.
