I did some research on the net on this release and it seems they are several High Note releases with just Alton Ellis. I'm specifically looking for the one with U-Roy in the mix to add to my discography.
Anyone know anything about this?
On the Heartbeat CD-release from 1993 (Cry Tough), U-Roy was not in the credits.
Is that the same on the vinyl issue?
real nice disc, haven't pulled it out in quite some time. don't we think that's ranking trevor though, and not u roy? it's been a while since i listened, but going from memory i'm pretty sure it's trevor.

Any info is welcome!
It's Ranking Trevor toasting, not U-Roy. These are late 70's remixes with drum and bass overdubbed on the original tracks. The other two Ellis / Trevor 12"s from the same period are "You Make Me So Very Happy" and "Baby I Love You".

Take this one thing from me: this is definitely U-Roy toasting on 'I Can't Stand It'.
Just had a quick listen to the other Ranking Trevor cut to 'You Make Me So Very Happy' and although he has a simular style of toasting copying U-Roy on occasions, the two DJ's are very different.
