I second that

Confessions every single track is purpleman

this is not really that important but I noticed on a purpleman album the purpleman and sister candy the photo on the front is actually not purpleman but I believe it is king mellow yellow, how do these mistakes happen, go look at the cover of the purpleman and sister candy album then go to king mellow yellow page and look at the photo same hat and everything, hahah dunno why I noticed this

im looking for king mellow yellow meets purple man lp. road block is a huge tune.

»Road Block« is a fantastic song. Always wondered what vocal version it uses. Since productions are by Tony Robinson I can only presume it's a single released on any of his imprints.

i wonder the same. . . does anyone know what track that tune is over?

Hey guys, that King Mellow Yellow Meets Yellowman is Yellowman Not Purpleman. I use to have that Lp but someone stole it and sold it. That tune roadblock is a great tune as well as Solomon & several others. Prince Tony Robinson gots the riddims to ride.... RRRRRIIIGGGHHHT!!!

Also I was to my understanding that King Mellow Yellow, Peter Yellow & Purpleman are the same man...Is this true???? If so then now we need to find out the other Albino dancehall artist "Snowman" from the "Rockers Showcase 3" LP.... LOL

OH yeah and just to let you know "King Mellow Yellow & Young Ranks - Herpes Take Over".. Is absolutly Dynamite!!!!
~Respect...

Mellow Yellow is not Purpleman or Yellowman. Here's a photo of Mellow Yellow;

And these two are of course Yellowman and Purpleman (a.k.a Peter Yellow)

I'll second that the Herpes Take Over album os great.

But now I'm curious - can anyone tell me more about Snowman and this Rockers Showcase 3 album?
