Hi,
First i must say this is a wicked web site ,,i found loads of info on all sorts of subjects and music that i would of never found on my own,so THANKS and Bless you all.
I also have a record that i have been trying to track down for years,it was part of the sound track to my years wandering around the world,especially around Asia ,with my best mate who has sadly now passed away.
It was on a cassette that is long lost and i have found now all but one of the tracks.
All i can remember from it is that i guess it was from the 70s and it was a woman singer with some of the lyrics as follows,,

"prophesy,prophesy,,,people people,,,our backs are now against the wall"

That is all i can recall from the lyrics,i know that's not so much but maybe someone might be able to help me so that i can complete the mix tape memory of my best friend ever,Jah Bless.

"other day, I went ro the worksite to check out my dread friends, natty dread "a-di ganja man" (and they'd say their positions)..."kinko dread,,,a-di main supervisor", nadi cinco dread a-di paymaster...then it would be the main chorus: a lalala the junkie master....da da da da to make your ears full of plaster...da da da da da di junkie master.

I have had raggae stores in the N.E. Bronx (little Kingston) look it up. One time I thought that I had found it in a record store but it was another version with singing like it was done and junkiemaster was not spelled the same. I have been looking for that jam for i'd say 20 years. I wished I wasnt so burnt and took the time to ask Glenn who sung it. Please help out if you know...

Lady M I am not sure of yours it does not sound familiar but good luck tall order being off of a toy!
