Yellowman Sassafrass Live session 1983

Post by Ranking Toyan »

I was wondering if anybody has this LP. It's on Roots Rockers label with concert flyer on white sleeve with picture of Mister Yellowman..black and white.

description says:
1983 Live Stage Show
Yellowman
Peter Metro
Sassa Frost

Backed by 7 Extention Bands for Roots Rockers Labels

Produced by Super star

Yah..there seems to be lot of typos on the label and sleeve calling Peter Metro...Peter Mitchell and he's not even on the record itself. But that's way it is. I was checking if anybody has different sleeve or if mine was bad reprint.

I have a copy and Metro is in the recording. At least on mine he is.

Does your copy have the same Mister Yellowman label?

At times I hear Metro in the background but not much lyrics from him.

Yes the cover is a Mister Yellowman flyer in black and white glued on the sleeve. Metro's session is after Sassafrass'.

That's the only press that I know of. The press is nice, the recording is just okay. the sleeve does look cut and paste (using a cut b/w photo from the mr.yellowman cover). but you need to listen to your record, Peter Metro is on the record, He rams it on the second half of side 2, as ROBE619 said. Typical of the Roots rockers label to have typos and mistakes, they use a different label on every LP and 12" I have on that label (I think some are UK press and some JA). They also have lots of thier productions issued in the Rusty International record label. check that out for sure because it features their own stable of artists and not just the usual names you always hear of...But I'll leave that for you to discover. I have a Roots Rockers 12" Disco for sale on my site right now. Hit me up if you're interested. jahadambom@yahoo.com

Thanks for the responses and confirmation. The clarity is not great so I thought that Peter Metro track was actually Yellowman. I know they sound the same at times when they do the sing jay style.
