larry lawrence, david katz "people funny boy", page 170

"Scratch was editing Silver Bullets, the Silvertones album, the same day as i was doing my thing, and while he was in the studio mixing out, he said to me that he's only got something like nine tracks for the album, so he would take that one and finish the album. So i says, "OK, fair enough"
He had to go to the record company to do his business the next day and he needed a track, that's the way we live. He mixed that tune himself off of my tape in Chalk Farm studio."

So in 1973 Larry was making records that were more roots and hardcore than Perry... Mad. As a result I am now listening to out of one man comes many dubs.

I always had that as one of my favourite LSP productions and if I'm reading the above correctly it was just a LSP mix....

Still it and it's dub definitely don't fit with the rest of the album to bring us back on topic

There might be confusion here, as this extra track i was refering to is NOT rejoicing skank.

It is the last track of the album, entitled "are you sure".

I dont want to copy paste all i read but i can summarize david katz opinion on the LP:

1: Its duality comes from half covers / half originals (with the group shining on the originals)

2: Rythms laid at a partially completed black ark

3: then voiced at Tubby's.

4: Rejoice Jah Jah was written by Pauline. And is definetly perry.

5: "Are you sure" track is: "Jackie Jackson, Hux Brown, Winston Grennan, Ansel Collins, and those guys at dynamics" (L.Lawrence)

Ah thanks for the clarification, seems I got completely the wrong end of the stick.
