Also available on the 2cd comp Reggae Anthology Channel One @ VP.
If you love this song check Truth & Rights by Ernest Wilson. (nothing to see with the Johnny Osbourne tune)

It's a fantastic song, quite simply. Both the vocals and the riddim have a lot of depth.
The riddim was borrowed from an equally great rocksteady instrumental: "Something New" by the Conscious Minds. The Conscious Minds have an Lp and it's on there, don't know if it's on roots archives.
A nice dub version of the Ernest Wilson tune can be found on The Revolutionaries' "Reaction Dub".
"A Who Say" by Sly & The Revolutionaries is on the same rhythm. To me, this version is not too special.
Finally, a great digital version of the riddim can be heard on Sizzla's "Greedy Joe". I believe there is also a Beres Hammond tune but I can't think of the title right now.

The dub cut from "Reaction In Dub" is called "[**Atom Bomb](

This Cd was re-released (for some reason) as Reggae's greatest hits vol 4 by heartbeat (as were most or all of the producer series).
It can be bought for next to nothing on-line or froma local record shop. Well worth the money. Although the pacging is now inferior to the one that fadel is talking about it still has all the same same great tracks.
