Earl Zero - Only Jah can Ease the Pressure

[Ziggi]

A question about Earl Zero - Only Jah can Ease the Pressure.

I have seen several releases with different matrix numbers. Who has the re-release on freedom sounds and can tell me that matrix number. Also I would like to know if the rerelease states right below on the front cover the name 'Earl Zero'.

Thanks enjoy 2010

My copy of this repress comes with the cover shown here
[cover=4942,1839]
with the name in the bottom right corner

matrix side a is EZ-004
matrix side b is DSR 9316

That is strange. I also got the copy you mentioned above. But I also have a copy with both sides the EZ matrix so EZ 004 A/B. Always thought the latter was the repress.

However the one with the fully EZ matrix doesnt have the name Earl Zero metioned below in the right corner on the jacket. But has on the back stated (right upper corner) Distributed by Federal Records 220 Marcus Garvey Drive Kingston Jamaica 92-38817-9. Instead of 14 East Drive Avenue and so on. Also at the back of the jacket it doesnt say Earl Zero near the stars near both sides of the lion's head. And Harry from Freedom Sounds isnt mentioned but Stephensons Litho Press Ltd.

Well the strange world of reggae. Another copy comming soon my way. Let's see what that copy tells me.

Bellyman Thanks for your answer.

It's quite usual with represses that old covers that were in stock are used with later reissues, maybe this is the case with the copy you have there.

[Ziggy]

Yes true Bellyman. Now only have to find a copy with on both sides the DSR 9316 matrix. Assuming that was the original matrix.

[Ziggy]

Bellyman @ I just bought another copy, it has a different label. Question, does your copy say the full titel on the label or just 'Only Jah' and which colour is it?

[Bellyman]

Full title is on the label, label colour is white with all information printed in red ink.

Note: none of the styles as shone here http://www.roots-archives.com/label/134/labels

Oke thanks then it is clear to me click the link below Bellyman.
Finally I discoverd the repress and the original. But there are still stange pressings and Matrix numbers concerning this LP.
