The album consists of both original songs written by Frederick "Toots" Hibbert as covers of songs by Ike Turner, Shep and the Limelites, and Richard Berry. It's an uplifting album with some sparkling reggae, soulful moments and rhythm, and blues. 180 gram audiophile vinyl Includes “Redemption Song”, “Louie Louie”, “Pomps And Pride” and more songs Reggae series with SELECTED REGGAE CLASSICS sticker on seal Official website: http://www.tootsandthemaytals.org/

Frequently Asked Questions

You can also check out our complete FAQ section here.

We are a European label and for the majority of our releases, we only have the European rights, meaning that they’re produced for the European market only. Because of this, these releases are not available for purchase at our MOV shop.

Are you located outside of Europe? This is most likely the reason why the product is not available to you. We are sorry for any disappointment that may have caused!

If the record is essential for your collection (which we would understand), we'd advise to search for European shops or marketplaces.

A pre-order product is a product which still needs to be produced. So, after your purchase, you won’t receive this product immediately. We strive to send these on the Release Date which you can find on the product page under the collapsible tab called “Details”.

Keep in consideration that manufacturing processes can always turn out to be delayed so this Release Date, acts as a guideline.

When the ordered item is in stock, we always aim to dispatch your order as soon as possible.

The pre-order articles have an (expected) release date listed on the product page. We usually ship out these pre-order articles several days before the release date, to ensure that you will receive the record on - or as close as possible to - the release date.

If you place an order with both pre-order items and items the MOV Shop has in stock, your entire order will be shipped on the latest pre-order date of any of the pre-ordered items. If you do not wish to wait, please place separate orders.

By buying a product from our shop, you’re buying a great product which has been made
with care. But vinyl is a delicate product, and each pressing is unique!

This means that some products can differ from how they look on our website compared with the physical product. On our website, we create mock-ups with give the best possible representation of our product. However, due to the unique pressing process of some off these products, we can never guarantee that this looks exactly the same. This can mean that colours might differ slightly from the represented colour on our website. Please make sure to keep this in mind when shopping on our website.

To sum up, it can indeed differ slightly from the picture on our website, but it also means you have a true one of a kind, very rare copy!

Cheap Trick Box Set

Received my box set today #0013 very pleased, I knew MOV would do these records justice was surprised to see Found All The Parts as a 12” vs the original 10 I only got through In Color but plan on diving into rest all week as time allows. I know as Cheap Trick fans we all have these but do yourself a favor and get this.

'Exciting' pressing!

Fantastic pressing, by MOV. I didn't know what to expect when I opened the seal but the first bars of 'Jump (For My Love)' were enough to know that this is a great pressing. The moog shines like never before and the synths sound electric ⚡. Vocals are clear and center of stage.
Even in the chaotic passages the record stands tall and the separation stays in tact. I love the fact that 'I'm So Excited ' is included on this version because apart from Energy I won't need another Pointer Sisters record.

The artwork is nice and looks authentic. Not blurry at all, the same quality as an old record sleeve from the 80's which is good. Also the reproduction of the Planet labels is a nice touch.

The purple vinyl is dead silent and fits the theme of the sleeve, although I prefer black, this pressing doesn't seem to have any faults.

Music: 7,5/10
Pressing: 8/10
Sleeve: 7,5/10

Glad to have this!

Fantastic pressing by MOV, amazing that they repressed this holy grail, such an amazing album.

The record sounds crisp and sometimes a bit bright even, but no problems with sibilance whatsoever. It sounds life-like and visceral in some passages. Beautiful low-end, with a warm and rolling sound, a feat which MOV has been executing perfectly on their reissues lately. The background is pitch black and gives room for the music to breath.

Also a nice bonus is the sleeve which has great detailed cover art which is not always the case with MOV and also cool they did a textured lamination.

A story come to life

This reissue of The Flat Earth gives the album new life. With tight and most of all deep bass, MOV gets one of the important factors of this album spot on.

The songs get a fresh sound that have details presented in a way I have not heard before. The White City is crisps and life-like which is the same for I Scare Myself. The spectacular sound on the record really makes it worth the replacement.

But not everything is all en well, if I'm being critical, the dynamics of Dissidents is not very great. The vocals of Thomas Dolby are low in volume and barely comes through and secondly, the cover of the sleeve is not very high quality. But if you are here for the music, this definitely makes up for it!
