Didn't know the Weed Stalk tune, listened to it, and fully agree, the tune is ruined by the chorus at 1:10

Another BIG miss:

To be found on the scarce Jah Mel and Rhythm Factory LP "meets Gregory Isaacs" (none of them actually meet musically here, that's clear)

Great tune, but what went wrong in the mix? I have the LP: 0 bass. I mean NONE. Even turning all dials to the max, can't get this one to lift off. Reggae with no bass can NOT be considered great. So sad, the tune could have been great ;)

There's a discomix of Dennis Brown's wonderful "Wolves And Leopards" that becomes I Roy's dirty "Sister Maggie's Breast." How any producer could switch from the sublime to the ridiculous is beyond me.

Fixed it Mick... made a discomix where "Wolves And Leopards" goes into I-Roy's "Step On The Dragon" and then dubwise right here

@Mick:

What's wrong with songs about tits? ;-)

I don't know this I-Roy song, but I get your point thought, it doesn't really fit well right after Wolves and Leopards I guess.
