It's a must have album if you like Reggae/Nyahbinghi/Jazz.

I man have the second JA presing.

on MMR?

wiht the hard box?

Hi jordandance

Thanks for the input.

Hi Lion

Excellent link. Thank you for that. These are 3 big slabs of gorgeous looking vinyl.

It's this label (and looks exactly like that) so I assume its a JA reissue (?).

Hi jordandance

Presumably these are questions about Lion's copy.

Yes I i have black&White label print as above.

Ites!

A couple years ago was released dis CD:

More decent sound quality dan de previous one but still nuff improvable edition. Bizarre noise cleaning, some failures an necessary more work on it.

I got my MRR copy in JA 1986. Don't know when it's pressed though.

Hi Goldfinger SWE

Thanks for that info.

Incidentally, the numbering of the sides seems a bit unusual;
Side 1
Side 6

Side 2
Side 5

Side 3
Side 4

Matrix numbers scratched into the run-out as follows;

Side 1 - ND 1002 A
Side 6 - ND 1002 B

Side 2 - DSR 2568 side 2
Side 5 - DSR 2471 side 5

Side 3 - DSR 2469 side 3
Side 4 - DSR 2470 side 4

Is that odd? I thought *DSR* was a **[Yard International](http://www.roots-archives.com/label/473)** matrix prefix.

Played Side 1 and it is indeed fantastic stuff. Gorgeous sound as well. Some of those *bigger* drums (?) absolutely shake the house down!!

Actually, ignore that, I've just cross-referenced it with the **[Grounation Discography](http://pageperso.aol.fr/gregchek/grounation.html)** site and those numbers seem just about right and I now see that *DSR* is a Dynamic matrix prefix!

'DSR' is generally used on all pressings coming from Dynamic Sounds Recordings pressing plant, the oldest one in JA.
