Going back to the confusion over 'Satisfy My Soul'

The original cut of this song was 'Don't Rock The Boat' on Wail N Soul M records, produced by The Wailers.

Lee Perry produced a second cut, changing the title to 'Don't Rock My Boat'.

Bob Marley & The Wailers reworked this track again as 'Satisfy My Soul' for Island Records.

All other Bob Marley & The Wailers tracks with the 'Satisfy My Soul' in the title (now repressed on JAD 7" singles) are unrelated songs to the above.

(A) 'Satisfy My Soul Babe' (JAD 7")
(B) 'Satisfy My Soul Babe Version' (JAD 7")

(A) 'Satisfy My Soul Jah Jah' (JAD 7")
(B) 'Satisfy My Soul Jah Jah Dub (JAD 7")

Adding to the confusion the 'Upsetter Record Shop - Part 2' CD has the track 'Satisfy My Soul Babe' wrongly credited as 'Satisfy My Soul'.

Any additions / corrections welcome

a very confusing thing. but thanks for the info

still nobody knows when Marley recorded "jungle fever?"

According to the one and only Marley-discographer Roger Steffens 'Jungle Fever' was recorded during the sessions for the 'Uprising' album in late 1979/early 1980.

Jungle Fever
This is an unreleased 1980 track, recorded by Bob following the Wailers bands sickly reaction to Maleria jabs. Obviously an undeveloped track, relying on a simple repetative hook, it does have an infectious quality that could have been developed into a full blown song.

you're right django but If you had asked be before I would have rated that song around 1974 or something
