Mr C.I.D (12" Version) tune

[kandi]

I like to spin this tune along side 'Jubilation - Bunny Lion' & 'Natty Dread Is A Struggler - Ranking Dread'.

My question is 'Is it really Barrington Levy & jah Thomas'on the vocals? as indicated here http://www.roots-archives.com/release/2755

The voice sounds like L Thompson.This is my first time i failed to identify B.Levy rightaway.

Any corrections,may be?

Love

i only know the version of barry brown

[Rootsman]

Same here, only Barry Brown version known to me.

That track on "Haul and Pull Up" is misredited on RA as that is the Barry Brown "Mr CID" on that album

[stepping razor]

The original 12" on the Attack label TACK 17 is sung by Barry Brown, written and prouduced by Linval Thompson.

peace

linval did Natty dread she love / [lightning] 7" [JA] over the same steppers cut, but after hearing the 12" so many times it does'nt sound like barry brown.

[Juha Vaahtera]

The singer on Mr. C.I.D. is supposed to be a singer named Bunny Lie Lie. His voice is very similar to Linval Thompson's. Definitely not Barry neither Barrington.

[jahlionyouth]

are there two versions?? the version that i know is by b. brown...i am sure of that

[Inyaki]

Bunny Lie Lie wasn't credited apparently.
I worked with him and see him regularly in Brixton (where he still lives).
