I'm curious as to which is the original original cut of Tribal War. Who actually wrote the song? A genius, obviously, but how about a name?

It's a Black Ark tune originally and first produced by Lee Scratch Perry. It first appeared on 7 inch on the US Tafari label, followed by a complete album (also titled 'Tribal War', though not listed on RA )later that year on the Aires (actually wackies) label, with several more black ark tunes.

What year was that original?
