The first 2 tracks are on the KNOWLEDGE album STUMBLING BLOCK
Fire Burn = Negusa Nagast
Chant Rasta Man = Janhoi

Gebbi .....escapes me for the moment sorry

http://www.algoriddim.com/album.php?album_id=1985

These are of course ROYALS riddims originally

Both albums are WICKED ! ( most Tamoki Wambesi Dove releases are )

This is a great site for the PRINCE

Depends what you mean by BOGUS.
( I think there is a thread about this )

It is NOT by someone that has gotten hold of material by an artist an mixed it and added some effects etc.

This is released by the original producer, Roy Cousins.
The riddims can be found elswhere (check the links above)

BUT it is NOT like a JAMAICAN RECORDINGS or CLOCKTOWER/ ABRAHAMS release.
( some of which are wicked too btw)

Just to add it is WIIIICKED !!

"Ejarsa-Gora" is "Zion Zone" but with a crummy flanger effect or something... weird.

Theres not a single song that was recorded at the Black Ark.

Also it sounds like theres just samples of "Prince Far I" not a real toasting thru out the whole song.

These are the reasons why I believe this album is bogus.

True, I would not say it is a FAR I album.
It is a tribute to him with dubs of KNOWLEDGE tracks with FAR I vocals...
It is a DUB album and a mighty nice one.
