I was wondering about that as well as I bought it yesterday from Sounds Of The Universe.

Blank yellow 12" style cover - label says "Mystic I ft Anthony Johnson" and is released on Anthony Johnson Music.

Anymore info relating to this?

My guess is that theres Lesburn Clarke + 2 other unknown guys and occasionally Anthony Johnson.

Do you guess this according to the voices?
The 12" single "Life is Not Easy" on Strong Like Sampson is credited to Anthony Johnson.. and he released recently on his own label

*Free Up The Ghetto Children
Perilous Time
Life Is Not Easy
Linger A While
One Jah Love*


Maybe the missing ones from the orig LP dont feat him... that's what you guess? Have to listen again the LP to see if I hear a difference...

I backed Anthony live. He likes to do Perilous Time
& Life Is Not Easy. He was in Mystic Eyes ( I's?).
He wassn't the main lead singer.

From Anthony Johnson interview with Smart Monkey;

"....and then after that meet up with a group them a call 'The Mystic Eyes'. We do 'Perilous Time', 'Life is not easy ' and tings."

So he wasn't in Mystic Eyes, but did sing with them.

From People Funny Boy;

"The trio was based at a Rasta Camp in western Kingston; lead vocalist and chief songwriter was...Les Clarke, while harmony was handled by...Balvin Fials and.....Anthony Johnson."

Anthony occasionally sang lead.

Les was a furniture maker.
Balvin was a nightclub chef.

From Solid Foundation;

"...was Mystic I, a roots trio featuring Anthony Johnson..."

Completely contrary to what I said in my earlier post, of course! :D
