Litelet; The Glenroy version is available on vinyl just that the master tape is gone. So there are definitely ways to hear Glenroys original cut. But Glen Brown recut it himself too.

Also I was refering to the rhythm title (Greenbay Killing) and not the original version title (Wicked Can't Runaway). :)

But I'm not in Sweden right now so I can't listen and compare versions.

Jumbo; Prince Alla and Alla aren't the same people. It's quite obvious by just listening to their voices.

Melodica versions were by Glen Brown not Augustus Pablo.

@kalcidis, you are right, i didn t hear the Alla chune for ages, always was under the impression that is was a early Prince alla solo outing. i was clearly wrong.

Tappa Zukie's cut is originally called Murder:
