It is a great LP Sean. More restrained than his more bonkers stuff but very very nice for that. It's now doing the rounds as a re-issue on both wax and CD.
Not to be confused with this similar named but completely different LP:
[cover=7228,3885]
This has also just been re-issued and is currently reviewed on this site here:

The original "The Front Line" sampler (which for some reason doesn't appear on the RA database) which I bought for 69p (it's retail price at the time) in 1976!!!
*And* I still regularly play it!!

Personally I think €4 for a Papa Tullo LP that went for $485 plus is far more worth.

I hope the guy that paid 485 for it isn't reading this. And if he is, somebody pass him the barf bag!

I paid a lot of 25 recods for $25.00. Nothing new, but it included African Rubber Dub and Matrix Dub by Bim Sherman

for an LP which goes on ebay for something like £15 regularly, it's quite good but what is impressive is the ratio between the price paid and the value on the web or in shops and 485/4 is far more than 15/0.5, one is 30 times cheaper, the other is 120 times cheaper !
