Hi Leggo Rocker

It really does sound absolutely superb.

If anyone's intersted I'll put up the correct track listing of the CD when I get a chance over the weekend.

Why does this happen? Is it laziness?

I've worked on magazines and seen some horriic errors get all the way past several levels of sub-editing and error checking experts.

So I'm not at all surprised by such mistakes in a genre that's famous for slack standards of quality control in, it seems, everything except for the making of the actual tunes themselves!

Still, I'd rather have a high standard of music and crap peripheral proction than correct track listings of crappy music!

If I wanted that I'd be buying Spice Girl's LPs.

The sound quality on the JA pressed Rockers International LP is very good.

On side 1 of the sleeve & label (& Roots Archives too) the title of second track (Africa Dub) is actually the correct title for track 3, and track 3 (My Mind Dub) is the correct title for track 2.

Hi Jackie P

Yes, I used to have it back in the day. I decided to get the Greensleeves repress as I had heard the sound quality was excellent. A can confirm it is.

Yes, you are right. I don't think the CD, on the other hand, has any tracks that are correctly titled.

Hi Leggo Rocker

I totally agree with you, but do find it a pain when I'm trying (saddo that I am) to put a disc together vocal, dub, vocal etc....

Hey, 6anbatte, nothing at all sad about mixing up your own Showcase stylee. I do it all the time.

In fact I am planning a Showcase Set and a Version Excursion Set for Leggo Rockers Radio.

It takes some thought and a lot of sifting through records. I intend to take a few days off work to make a good go at it very soon.

Hi Leggo Rocker

Good man. Keep up the excellent work!

Mixing up a 'Size Matters' 12 inch 45 session right now!

Hopefull I'll get time to do a 'Size Don't Matter' 7 inch 45 set later this weekend also...

Hi

The correct track listing on the CD "Africa Must Be Free.../Africa Must Be Free...Dub" - GRELCD 504 is as follows;

Track (10) Levi Dub
(11) Revolution Dub
(12) Judgement Dub
(13) Sufferer Dub
(14) Unity Dub
(15) My Mind Dub
(16) Africa Dub
(17) Western Kingston Style

"Africa Must Be Free.../Africa Must Be Free...Dub" - GRELCD 504

Just "dove-tailed" the two albums on this CD to run vocal, dub, vocal etc and I have been left with the following 3 tracks;
"Why Do Blackman Fuss And Fight"
"Sufferer Dub"
"Western Kingston Style"

Does anyone know if there a) is there a dub cut to "Why Do Blackman Fuss And Fight" out there and b) where have the 2 extra dub cuts come from?

Incidentally, if either "Sufferer Dub" or "Western Kingston Dub" are the dub cut of "Why Do Blackman Fuss And Fight" and I haven't realised please do let me know. My hearing definitely isn't what it used to be!

Any input gratefully accepted.
