I am looking for a 12" single by the African Brothers/Matumbi called 'A Di System' but cannot find a copy anywhere. I know it was originally issued by Greensleeves around 1980. Anyone know where to find this rare gem??? ONE HEARTICAL LOVE

Night life posse, true Greensleeves pressed plentifull copies of their releases. But even back in the day of their release, I still struggled to get hold of some releases, including that one. And I visited many shops in london including Greensleeves (they never had in their OWN release that I was after), Jet Star and Daddy Kool (I still got treated with comtempt by most of the staff at daddy kool) and a regular mail orderer with most of the main reggae record shops that mailed out. African Love is available on e bay at a reasonable price, but no trace of a Greensleeves copy of A Di System.
Greensleeves also licensed tunes from other record companies, this one they probally don't have the rights to any more, hence it's rarity.
