I don't think so - no real difference between the original JA release (Super Eight) and the Island version (To Be A Lover), other than the track order. And the Hip-O version has the extended mix of "To Be A Lover" as a bonus track!Rootsman wrote:So is there any difference in mix between this CD and the Hip-o-select CD? Or are they exact same with just different play order
Thanks Mick, man the thought of those unreleased albums makes me so excited, for you as one of the worlds biggest Perry fans, it must drive you mad.... Do you think they survived? Could they be burried in the back garden, or do you think they are in Switzerland? I guess the truth is that they are gone, but its nice to dream.

Is that where 'there's a train' and 'guideline' came from. I wonder if any of those tapes made it through.....
Apparently an entire album was recorded, but other than "Guide Line", none of the tracks have seen the light of day. Junior Murvin also cut a second album with Scratch, but other than a few lightweight tunes like "Let's Fall In Love" showing up, it also remains unreleased.
Interesting how Faith cut a somewhat light album with Lee Perry and then (if "Guide Line" is any indication) did something more rootsy; with Junior Murvin, it seems like it was the other way around!

they are still around. A friend of mine got several tapes. He bought them from a homeless sound engineer in the early 90s. He was offering them from a suitcase next to a highway. 50 dollar per tape.Not George Faith though but another big name that recorded there.Congo Bunny wrote:Mick Sleeper wrote :Congo Bunny wrote :Weren't they supposed to be in the middle of another album when Perry torched the Ark?

Well, I think the idea that there are master tapes buried in Scratch's backyard is definitely a myth!Congo Bunny wrote:Do you think they survived?

Who knows if they are sitting in a vault somewhere waiting to be discovered or lost for good?Care to elaborate? That story sounds a little far-fetched.drive instigna wrote:they are still around.

Don't worry, there is no chance to sell it as an original, because it's only a CD.drive instigna wrote:How nasty that it comes with exactly the same artwork. People try to re-sell those things as being original. Seen that many time.
