Definitely worth tracking down. Not sure what Gene Chandler would make of "Duke of Earl" though. :)

Hey 6anbatte, I just got this exact same LP. It's a pretty fine recording, eh! Anyway, I was wondering if you knew what year it was from? I can't find any info anywhere...

Thanks.

Hey Jonti

I really cannot stop playing it! Absolutely superb stuff.

I'm going for 1979.
Pretty sure it's the same version of "Artibella" as is on **["Who Gets Your Love"](http://www.roots-archives.com/release/812)** and Bunny Lee gets a name check on that album as well so........

Ah ha! Just spotted it says 1979 in RA (Ken Boothe - "Memories") - http://www.roots-archives.com/release/1203#rel1095 - scroll down to "Other Releases" - "Bunny Lee". :)

Ken Boothe is a nice person; Met him in JA in 93; Genuine, mellow, generous would be words I'd use; I finally got my hands on his "Disco Reggae" LP, produced by Phil Prat; Late 70's material not often seen; Let's see what it sounds like...I'll be back :)....

As late as '79, eh? He was very consistent, I suppose. I wonder if he ever did any not-so-good stuff?
