PEACE AND LOVE IN THE GHETTO (Maxi Priest debut release)

[I-Defenda]

I used to have the tune called 'Peace and love in the ghetto' by Maxi Priest (and Caution) on a tape. I believe it was Maxi Priest his debut release.
Philip 'Papa' Levi did (In-A-Mi Yard) a dj cut to the same riddim track.
Does anyone know if the Maxi Priest tune is ever re-released?

From what I know there isn't a 'recent' press...
The 12" came out on Level Vibes (printed or blank label)with the maxi 'love in the ghetto', levi cut & dub on one side.

in 1984 and it was on a white plain label that someone had printed over in red.
Hi there,
I don't know if you had a reply, but I had the same question more than a year ago on this forum and 1 of the people send me a website where I could download the song.

Please look for MAXI PRIEST on this forum and you will find it. I don't think I can give his name without his permission. GOOD LUCK.

His quote:
It's a superb song called Love In The Ghetto.

It only appeared as a B-side on the 12 inch of Papa Levi- Mi God Mi King on Level Vibes pressing.
Inna Me Yard/Love in the Ghetto.

This song of Phillip Levi (nr 1 in Jamaica in 1984) was come out on three different labels.
Bad Breed,Taxi and Level Vibes.
You have to look for the level vibes one.

The Papa Levi song also came out on Mango with a dub.
