It very well could be Howie Smart's "Chu Wa Wa" 12", which was released on King Culture's label as the B-side to The Mighty Diamond's "Pass The Knowledge" in 1981.

If you have a clip, we could confirm it.

Greetings,
the tune could very well be 'Natty Dread Christmas' by Iron P(h)oenix. To be heard on Jah Shaka Soundsystem tapes.

Iron Phoenix - Natty Dread Christmas ( In Thing)?

Killer rhythm.
I prefer the Heptones cut (Barry Llewellyn on lead )
"We Want It"

Maybe is not, I was just guessing.
Great song anyway IMO.
The original poster should know!

Ah yes, I think it's the iron phoenix. I believe I heard the dub version, very nice tune. Many thanks for all your efforts.
