Well, Sly & Robbie were able to tour big time and record a crapload of tunes. One of the Wailers told me they did not find a way to work as a team and that money splitting evenly was ALWAYS an issue...

Hi there,
Lulu was my mother and I thought I'd drop a little info on the LP. You're all correct about the date but it was recorded much earlier. The reason the album is rare is because the producer and record label literally ripped all of the musicians off in the production. None of the funds accuired for the album went to the band and nowadays it's safe to say that if you're downloading it, you aren't ripping the artists off (both Donald and my mother passed away not that long ago).
Have a look at

Cheers!

No offence to Lulu but I just don't think white woman's vocals really work on a reggae song, she sounds more like a female singer with the velvet underground than a reggae singer
Some people has got some racial problems with reggae music.
Sinéad O'Connor made a really good reggae album in 2005 ("Throw Down Your Arms").
Faybiene Miranda ("Destiny" and "Prophecy") was not a black woman(Father => white and mother => Panama) but she made two classic tunes.
