No, which is odd since it comes with a Virgin Promo shot of U Roy!

Have to be honest I prefer the B side.." They never Love Poor Marcus"..

It was the 12" of Disco power which had me slightly concerned. Never thought of the Mighty Diamonds as being disco somehow.

I brought that in the days when I knew nothing about reggae at all..Used to trod round the secondhand shops and look through all the vinyl looking for obvious references to reggae in the titles and hope for the best. Found a few gems that way but the RA forums make me realise how little I know..:(
We need a whole lot more of Jah Jah and a lot less rock and roll.

I think 'Disco Power' probably refers to the format, the '12 inch disco' as it was known, rather than the content! :D

Yes, the B Side is the better of the two for me also!
