Jah Wise,
There's a killer Delton Screechie tune called Facts Of Life that is one of my favs!!
Would love to hear the Suffering In the Ghetto LP that you mentioned...

I've been wondering about this one from Prince Junior... looks like a pretty good line-up.

@Matthew
I don't know if they are Irish, actually it has been recorded at Channel One (and as far as i know, this is the only piece of information written on the cover) so i guess they're jamaican, FORM label is Irish but they released stuff from non-Irish artists like Fred Locks or Pablo Gad.
@OrthodoX ReuBen
Obscure but I don't really like it. There must be people who like it considering the price it has been sold lately on ebay.

The prince junior album is in my opinion a bit bland.
FORM is a subsidiary label of Burning Rockers/Vibrations/Sounds. Based in Ireland perhaps but releasing Jamaican and English reggae primarily. Was Junior English perhaps owner or something of the label since the label features predominantly him on the discos and he has released a couple of albums on the label?
It's a fantastic label with some of my favorite releases such as Love & Harmony with Fred Locks and friends.

A rare album I rate is Nicodemus - Nice Up the Dance on Clappers/Leaf of Life

I believe FORM was run by a businessman from India. I seem to remember reading that the FORM label came about because he was running from the UK tax authorities because of monies owed from sales on his Burning Sounds / Vibration label.
Somewhere there's an interview with LT where he discusses this guy, but I can't seem to find it right now! This was, I think, also discussed here some while ago, but I can't find the thread now.
Good LP that Black Magic Dub, I tracked a copy down recently. But I think it is only worth the very silly price if you're a vinyl collecting nut, otherwise, best save the dunza and spend it on 20 good re-release CDs!
