You can find it as a 7inch on Jam Records (JM 001)with the dub on the B-side.
Don't know if that tune is ever released on a Jacob album.

Hi,

the line you quoted " too much imitator " could it be from the song "Tenement Yard" which includes the following lyrics:

Hear dem say...ah ah ah!
Dreadlocks can't live in a...tenement

Dreadlocks can't live in a tenement yard
Dreadlocks can't live in a tenement yard
Too much su-su su-su su-su, too much watchie watchie you

Dreadlocks can't live in privacy
Anything him do, old ? see

Dreadlocks can't smoke him pipe in peace
Too much informers and too much laws

Dreadlocks can't live in a tenement yard
Dreadlocks can't live in a tenement yard
Can't penetrate in a tenement yard
Can't penetrate in a tenement yard

Dreadlocks can't penetrate the rent man
All him a do is sell Jah Jah land

Can't penetrate in a tenement yard
Can't penetrate in a tenement yard

Dreadlocks can't lick him pipe in peace
Too much informers and too much laws


Can't I-ditate in a tenement yard
Can't I-ditate in a tenement yard

by the way, what means I-ditate????

it seems "too much imitator" is a dub version of "tenement yard". it appears on "raas claat dub" album, grounation label, 1976. it should also be here: http://www.roots-archives.com/release/4 ... ight=59379

i found it [here](http://www.reggae-vibes.fr/various-arti ... t4566.html), you'll find an audio sample.

bless up, gonzalo

[Bellyman]

'i-ditate' = 'me-ditate'
in Rasta patois there is no 'me', only 'I'.

[rootsman1978]

respect too much imitator was released as a single. lyrics is very similiar to tenement yard but theme is on imitator singers and djs, was never released on a jacob miller album i seldom play mine only in a sound clash peace
