Sorry I started another post about this great interview.
I didn't check the "OFF TOPIC" section. # :blush:

Why an interview about a 70s Roots group is "OFF TOPIC"? # :cfused:

Anyway, here is my question again (if anybody can reply here):

Great interview!
Anybody knows the title of that Lee Perry produced song by "The Ark"?

".....Albert: And we also did a song for Lee Perry, when he changed our name from the Officials to The Ark (chuckles)....

Clifton: Yeah. Right, I forgot about that.

Q: What was the title for the song for Scratch?

Albert: Man...? I have no... I cyaan remember, I don't remember it.

Clifton: Me neither.

Albert: But it was a nice song, y'know. He changed our name because his studio, it was the (Black) Ark. (Chuckles) And so he didn't like the name The Officials, so him say 'lets call it with the name The Ark'. So that felt like we were worthy of his studio name, so he must have felt we had some talent, you understan', fe really name us offa the studio. Yeah...."

@Inyaki:

The song they're talking about might be "Forgive I" by The "Ark" released on "ARK The Zion Sound" label.

Hey Inyaki, they're definitely the ones singing as "Originals" on the Stay Red LP. At least on Irie Irie. Sound sample: http://limelinx.com/files/0e827c477822f ... 992ac69bec
