I'd say "Rub A Dub Style" is worth buying for "Eye Of Danger" alone. Definitely my favourite version of "Danger In Your Eyes".

I hope I got this feedback in before you placed the order. :)

Barry Brown - Far East (1981) - 7/10 Admittedly I'm not a fan of the BB, Johnny Clarke mode of singing

Earl Sixteen - Soldier Of Jah Army Patate - Don't have it

Earth & Stone - Kool Roots + Dub (1978) - 7/10 vocals and backing excellent. Songcraft is kinda weak though. I hardly ever pull it out of the record stack to listen to.

Ijahman - Haile I Hymn (1978) Mango - 6/10 Not my cup of tea. Some people love it though.

Little Roy - Tafari Earth Uprising Pressure Sounds - 10/10 As good as it gets

Michigan & Smiley - Rub A Dub Style (1979) Heartbeat/Studio One - 8/10 Solid and plenty of fun.

Pablo Moses - Revolutionary Dream (1975) Shanachie 9/10 Would have been a 10 if Scratch hadn't put that screaching guitar on "I Man a Grasshopper".

Rastafarians - The Rastafarians (Orthodox) (1981) Don't have it

I love Packin House! In fact I ordered my vinyl early so i could get one of the copies of the poster stuffed in the sleave. That was the promotion Pressure Sounds used on that release. I have it framed on my living room wall.

I was lucky to get mine from Ernie B, a stand-up guy. I heard some outlets were taking the posters out and selling them seperately to increase their take. I think it was the first 100 LP's that got the posters slipped inside the sleeve.

Hmmm, I was curious how many LP's had the poster so I double checked the PS website. It was the FIRST 1500! That's alot of LP's and probably the only pressing they'll ever need to run. So if you bought the LP but didn't get the poster call up your seller and tell them you want it ASAP! :)

I absolutely love "Haile I Hymn". There's no other reggae album like it. Really "musical", with lots of instruments and solo's etc. The singing is very inspired, has a very religious, meditational feel. It sounds like a brilliant reggae jam session.
