Does anyone know what song is versioned on the last track of Scientist's 'Heavyweight Dub Champion?'
[cover=3685,3042]
The song is called "Knockout" and features Barrington Levy singing the lyric,
"It's useless for me, to pretend your letter, was not for me."
'Heavyweight Dub Champion' is basically a dub album of Levy's 'Robin Hood' but this track is not on it (or Englishman, or Shaolin Temple, or Bounty Hunter). I did a google search and found a B&F post asking the same question without anyone figuring it out. Here's giving it another shot.

Thanks for the support, Rufus.
It is so rare for someone on this board not to know this kind of thing for an album so popular. I wonder if it was ever released? Very strange for a song to only exist (in the market) in dub form.
Anyway, there are some more lyrics at the end of the track:
"Be able to, (oh yea)
be able to stand up,
for you are my very, very darling
To whom you but I shall try to put my best."

Anyone have any ideas yet?
I also love that version and would love to hear the full vocal.
