Brave saying something negative about PS on this forum, I always seem to get burned when I do :) even if its true

I actually think that roaring lion is far from scrapping the bottom

It does seem puzzling that this track found its way onto the compilation

I think it's more a matter of Pressure Sounds exercising better quality control on the material. While I don't agree with Funky Punk, I will say that there *are* a lot of weak tracks on the Lee Perry Pressure Sounds collections. Remember the number one rule of record collecting: *just because it's rare doesn't mean that it's good!* ;) Rather than releasing all of these muddy dub plates, I would rather see PS releasing only the very best of the dub plates and instead include more rare vocal tracks on these collections.

Just because it's rare doesn't mean that it's good - and sometimes things are 'rare and unreleased' for a good reason... :D

Truer words were never spoken.

Still we want to own them because they're rare, aight? Sometimes we're crazy :-)
