Thanks for the answers regarding Hard Road To Travel. Listening to Ron's soundclip I'm not convinced it's Black Ark either, but I would need a closer listen to make up my mind.

... i guess ve got to forgive you youngsters for your Ark dwellings, as it took me also some 35 years to get myself some light in the dArkness ... but certainly not for the cockeyd ignorance and reluctance to pick up knowledge ... i remember well how eager i was and knew how to hush up and learn something of people more senior in the field. Why dont i see alla those young Upsetter 'connoiseurs' do research, discover and discuss some real undercover material instead of bringing up all the stuff longtime mapped ?
moreover why dont i see you 'insiders' recognize, bid'njump on obvious but rare undiscovered Perry material offered WITH soundclip even on eBay ?? ... THAT is collecting, you should be on top of every reggae centimeter sensing for possible Perry stuff ! ... know what, im kind hearted man and'll give the young gentlemen a tune to chew on, maybe, just maybe you'll pick up ... dont think so bwahhhahahahaaaa ... now guys start bidding if you really wanna be Upsetter somebodies okay, really, you should be screaming please [SHOW US THE WAY](http://cgi.ebay.com/rare-Jamaica-Reggae ... 1|294%3A30) ... link corrected; goodluck !

This one is also interesting. But didnt do much of research on it because of laacking the time. Only used my ears.

yep... thats the one that I was talking about. Maybe dancehall experts could identify this DJ?
