The Return Of The Return Of The Super Ape

[Mick Sleeper]

Trojan is releasing a new 2-CD set that combines *Super Ape* and *Return Of The Super Ape*, along with a mixed bag of bonus tracks. Certainly a weird move, since they more or less did the same thing with their Apeology collection in 2007.

While I prefer to be positive about new releases, I can't help but wonder what the Trojan boffins were thinking with this one, especially the weird selection of bonus tracks.

A few more details and links on my [Scratch website](http://www.upsetter.net/scratch/index.htm).

I wanna hear that six minute version of Chase the devil. Such an epic track for me personally.

[Sammy]

What about War Ina Babylon over 8 minutes. I bet these are some dull custom mixes by Trojan.. not alternate mixes.

[blackarkrock]

A rather strange release, yes...

The completist in me will buy it for the-previously-not-on-CD tracks/versions, though!

[DWick]

I can't buy another CD just for the bonus tracks. Apeology was a good release, this seems lazy at best.

Go deh, go deh...

What is the difference between the Jamaican version of Super Ape and the Island version? Is it only a different track order, title, and cover or are the mixes different at all?

All of these would be better releases why why why why why can't they release these instead of the same old Lee Perry re-packaged over and over and over and over and over and lets not forget the 35 albums on Amazon mp3 which have Monkey Spanner in them I despise trojan/sancuary

[DWick]

Don't think that Brent Dowe album would sell well.

It's a different mix. Jamaican version is more rough and less polished.
